Hi and Welcome to TSF

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run ad-aware SE with VX2 add-on cleaner, Spybot Search & Destroy (with updated database) and CWShredder as these programs will clean a lot of the crap out first. All links to programs are in my signature. Ok..on to the log…..


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. Please make sure system restore is enabled by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn OFF System Restore and make sure it’s NOT checked. We want system restore ON and monitoring your current hard drive. Once your clean we will turn this off and then create a new restore point.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Check and fix the following in HijackThis if they still exist (make sure you do not miss an entry)

O2 - BHO: WinStat - {EE02B99B-1D55-48bc-B8DB-649A42CE45F6} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinStat12.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mexup] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mexup.exe

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinStat12.dll <--delete that file

C:\WINDOWS\System32\mexup.exe <--delete that file

Once done reboot into Normal Mode and post a new HijackThis log file to confirm what was removed and if it's clean or not. Please visit microsofts update page and install the latest service packs and security updates for both XP and IE6. Both are seriously outdated!!!

Please post another hijackthis log..so I can confirm it's clean.
