Open My Computer-->Tools-->Folder Options-->View-->Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files and click YES and then OK..

Download and install CleanUp! but do not run it yet.

Download, install, and update Ewido Security Suite

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.

The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
After the updates are installed, exit Ewido

Reboot into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter.

Go to Start->Run and type Services.msc then hit Ok

Scroll down and find the service called: Microsoft SSL (ssl)

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

Check and fix the following in HijackThis if they still exist (make sure you do not miss an entry)

O19 - User stylesheet: (file missing)
O23 - Service: Microsoft SSL (ssl) - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\system32\ssl.exe


C:\WINNT\system32\ssl.exe<--delete that file

C:\WINNT\system32\B.tmp <--delete that file

Run Ewido:

  • Once finished, click the [Save report] button
  • Save the report to your desktop
Close Ewido

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
