Re: Please help - Desktop warning message taking over my computer

Hi,

Please scan with HijackThis and put a checkmark against the following entries:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust...search/ie.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust...search/ie.html
R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: getsn32.msiesn - {2D9F1530-0B38-4DCB-A90A-CECD559F3514} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\getsn32.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ctfmona] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmona.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BitTorrent] "C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\bittorrent.exe" --force_start_minimized


Close all browsers and windows other than HijackThis and click on 'fix checked'. Exit HijackThis.

===============================

Next, please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the Combofix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide very carefully and install the Recovery Console first. (use the instructions for "If you use Windows XP and do not have the Windows CD")

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:
  1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.
When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New HijackThis log.
