Hi Buddha,
You’re most welcome, Buddha. I’m glad to hear that you had no problems following the directions I posted.
Let’s see if there’s anything else lurking in your system.
Please download
CCleaner (freeware) and save it to your desktop:
- Run the CCleaner installer.
- During installation process, please UNCHECK "Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar".
- Once installed, run CCleaner and click the Windows tab.
- Select the following:
- Check everything under the Internet Explorer section.
- Check everything under the Windows Explorer section.
- Check everything under the System section.
- Check ONLY Old Prefetch data under the Advanced section.
- Then, click the Applications tab:
- UNCHECK everything there.
- Next, click the Options button, then click the Advanced button:
- UNCHECK : "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours".
- Next, click the Cleaner button, then click the Run Cleaner button (bottom right), then Exit.
CAUTION: Please do
NOT use the
Issues button. This is a built-in registry cleaner. If you don’t know how to use it, you may cause irreparable damage to your system.

Let's run an online scan to make sure we're not leaving anything behind.
Please do an online scan with
Kaspersky Online Scanner:
- Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner.

- The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files.

- Now click on Scan Settings.
- In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
- Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
Extended
- Scan Options:
Scan Archives
Scan Mail Bases
- Click OK.
- Now under select a target to scan:
- This program will start and scan your system.
- The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
- Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
- Now click on the Save Report As button.
- In the File name: field, type kavscan.
- In the Save as type: field, select Text file (*.txt).
- Save the file to your desktop.
- Copy and paste that information in your next post.
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the
Accept button of the license, click on the
Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license has been accepted, reset to 100%.
NEXT:
Please
reboot your computer normally into Windows, and then please post the
log from the Kaspersky scan and a new
HijackThis log.
How are things running now?
