Hello pyanna7,

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.

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

1. Close any open browsers.

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 entry:

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbar...p=ZCxdm238YYGR

Click 'Fix Checked' and close HijackThis.

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

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code box below into it:

Code:

File::
Folder::
C:\Program Files\Spyware Terminator
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spyware Terminator
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Spyware Terminator

Registry::
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer\run]
"{6C6CED07-09BB-1032-0530-02020321001e}"=-
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon\notify\hggdc]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\MyWebSearch Email Plugin]

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt

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

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

Please run this online scan to search for any remnants. It can take some time, so please be patient and allow it to run it's full course:

Using Internet Explorer, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

Answer Yes, when prompted to install an ActiveX component.

The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
Locate the Scan Settings button & configure to:
- Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  - Extended
- Scan Options:
  - Scan Archives
  - Scan Mail Bases
Click OK & have it scan My Computer
Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

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

Run a new scan with HijackThis and save the log.
