Thanks, Naomi420.

No worries about the online scan just yet--I understood the issue with online scans and IE from your first post.

I see plenty of Anti-Malware programs onboard, which is good--but they do not take the place of an Anti Virus program. An Anti Virus program is essential to have onboard as well, and is one of the reasons your system is so infected right now.

As soon as we stabilize the system a bit, I'll have instructions for a very good free AV program to use.


The other reason is the use of P2P programs. Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

This will require more than one round to properly eradicate. Please stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms seemingly abate.

Please copy this page to Notepad and save to your desktop for reference as you will not have any browsers open while you are carrying out portions of these instructions.

It's IMPORTANT to carry out the instructions in the sequence listed below.

***************************************************

Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Disconnect from the internet.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. 'Check' the following entries:

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://click.getmirar.com (HKLM)
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://click.mirarsearch.com (HKLM)
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://redirect.mirarsearch.com (HKLM)


Click 'Fix Checked' and close HijackThis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

When finished, it will produce a report for you. I'll need to see that in your next reply to continue cleaning the system.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall

********************************************************
