My System

Thats looking good

Reboot to safe mode & delete these files, and immediately empty your recycling bin:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\O9I3GZSO\screensaver[1].exe
C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\cache4\opr00T9R.htm
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Totem Shared <<--folder

Reboot to normal mode and your good to go!

I dont reccomend uninstalling IE, as it is needed to obtain critical windows updates, but alternate browsers are a good idea!


Crashes in your system can be from a corrupt system file somewhere along the lines...

Try this --You may need to reinstall some windows updates (thus IE is needed)--
go to "Start|Run" and type sfc /scannow this will check your system for missing or corrupt files, you may be asked for your windows installation CD, so keep it handy if you decide to go for it.

Otherwise:

Congratulations Your Log is Clean!!


System Restore

Turn off System Restore by Clicking Start > right-click My Computer and then click Properties. Click the System Restore tab > Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives". Click Apply. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this. Click OK.

Reboot your System.

Turn on System Restore by Clicking Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives." Click Apply, and then OK.



Windows Updates
I Highly reccomend making the upgrade to Windows XP Service pack 1 & Service Pack 2 Since you're junkware free, the time to get it is NOW. Service Pack 2 is a MAJOR upgrade for XP. It is chalk full of security patches and such, as well it comes with a Free Popup Blocker!!!!!


Preventative Measures

This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. Read How Did I Get Infected In The First Place?.

Also Consider...
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
  • IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.

You should also have a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:

How is she running now? Any further problems? If not, Good work, and Happy Computing!
