S& D Spybot's Tea Timer

While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent HijackThis from fixing certain things.
Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your HijackThis log is clean.

• Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
• In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
• Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt.
• Expand the "Tools" menu.
• Click "Resident".
• Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box.
• In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.
• See this link for a tutorial

Download ResetTeaTimer.bat by right-clicking on the link, and choosing Save As. Save it to your desktop, or somewhere you can find it easily.
Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer.

1. Disconnect from the internet....pull the plug!
   
2. Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
   
3. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts. Type 1, then press Enter to start the fix.
   
4. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.
   
5. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
   
   Note:
   Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
6. Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled. A reboot should have done this.
   
7. Re-establish an internet connection.
   
8. Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan and save a Logfile'. Save the log file and post it here.
