Next step....

Download Hoster http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Hoster.exe
Download and install CleanUp http://cleanup.stevengould.org/

Download the attachment I posted here DANGER: SPYWARE...Smart Security 59.95$ called fixsec.txt. Save it to your desktop. Now rename it to fixsec.reg. DO NOT run it yet.


Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled. Also make sure that the System Files and Folders are showing/visible also.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Now locate and delete the following files...

**Note** You may not have all these...but check for each.

C:\WINDOWS2\winpos.exe
C:\WINDOWS2\System32\vbsys2.dll
c:\WINDOWS\Aja.html
c:\WINDOWS\Cjr.exe
c:\WINDOWS\desktop.html
c:\WINDOWS\popup.html

c:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\DataColl\CollectedData _75.xml
c:\WINDOWS\system32\Hcc.exe
c:\WINDOWS\PCHEALT
<--folder

FDI.EXE <--locate and delete that one!!

Open the hoster file and run the program and select "Restore hosts file".

(If XP) Navigate to the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder and delete all files in that folder

Run the cleanup utility and reboot/logoff when prompted.

Reboot back to normal mode. Now double click that fixsec.reg file we made and merge it into the registry. If it asks you..say YES to merge.

Once thats merged...Reboot the PC.

Now..once your back to normal windows..right click on the desktop..select properties...desktop..customize desktop...web..and uncheck anything listed. Now highlight and delete any entry that says security..or anything other then the default "My Current Homepage". Leave that entry be.

Run the cleanup utility again...Reboot. Once back to normal windows post another hijackthis log. If those 04 entrys are back...repeat the process as you missed a file for deletion. You MUST get them all..otherwise this thing reinstalls itself.

**Note** The fixsec.reg file MUST be run as this restores the entry keys that this hijacker disables. You can also review the fix I did at the post were the fixsec.reg file has been attached
