Re: backdoor.trojan and adware.websearch

Hi,

*Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune

Do not use it yet.
_______

*Uninstall the items in bold if found:

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_06
Java(TM) 6 Update 2
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1



*An optional that I would recommend be uninstalled.

Viewpoint Media Player
are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". In 2006, this may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware.

*Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall the items I listed in bold if found.
_______

Open HijackThis > choose Scan Only > Place a checkmark in the boxes beside these entries in bold.

R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)
