Allright ...let's clear the System Volume Information folder in this round.
- click Start >> Run - type SYSDM.CPL & press Enter
- select the System Restore Tab
- tick on the checkbox - "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
- click Apply
- then untick the same checkbox & click OK
It appears that some are fresh infections. Have you installed those tools I recommended to you? If not done, I want you to do it now.
- 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.
I have attached another file with this post -
regdel.txt
Download it & rename it "regdel.reg" (inclusive of the quotes)
Double-click on it & answer YES when prompted to merge into the Registry

Run a scan with HiJackThis & Fix this entry :
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{D74D6144-A420-4CC0-97EC-9F10E668DB9D}: NameServer = 69.50.188.180 85.255.112.5

REBOOT
I would also like you to install another program -
Spybot Search & Destroy. These programs will help prevent new infections.
- After you have installed it, Click on the Search for Updates button. Install any updates that are available.
- Go to the Mode menu and choose Advanced Mode.
- Next click on Immunize to your left.
- In the ensuing window, Click the Immunize button (green cross) on top to Immunize your computer - you should do this each time there is an update.
- Click on the 'Spybot-S&D' option on the top left to go back to the main screen.
- Click on the Check for Problems button. Let it run the scan.
- If it finds something, Select all those in RED and hit the Fix Selected Problems button.
- Exit Spybot.
If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the
Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.
