And I forgot to mention that I already scanned the computer with both AVG and Trend Micro's online scanner. It showed some viruses...but couldn't delete.

Hello and welcome to TSF

I would reccommend that you Subscribe to this thread so you are notified of any replies via email. To do this click Thread Tools, then click Subscribe to this Thread. Make sure it is set to Instant Notification, then click Subscribe.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out the following instructions.

Viewing Hidden Files
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. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files option.

Downloads(make sure to save these in a permanent location)
Findlop by Metallica. Unzip it to your desktop.
smitRem.exe - Run it and extract it to it's own folder on the Desktop.

Ewido Security Suite
  • Install Ewido Security Suite
  • When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
    • Install background guard
    • Install scan via context menu
  • Double-click the icon on Desktop to launch Ewido
You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
  • Then click on Start Update.
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido
When you have finished updating, EXIT Ewido.

Ad-aware-Install it if you don't have it already. Make sure it's the newest version and check for any updates before running it. Also download the VX2 plugin to download the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. To run this tool, go into Ad-aware->Add-ons and select VX2 Cleaner. Then click Run Tool and OK to start it. If it's clean, it will say Status System Clean. Otherwise, you will have to click on the Clean button to remove the VX2 infection. Also make sure to customize the settings in Ad-aware as described on this page for better scan results.
Do not run it yet.

Reboot your system in Safe Mode (By repeatedly tapping the F8 key until the menu appears).

Thank you for helping!!

I came across some problems however. First of all I was unable to download the Ad-aware VX2 plugin. Something called SpyTrooper (the thing that kept redirecting the websites) blocked me from viewing the link.

I successfully uninstalled Messenger Plus, but when I ran Hijackthis, I couldn't find the following two that I was supposed to fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DupeBaseFastMeow] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\Bold keep dupe base\dale long.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Soap byte] C:\DOCUME~1\Daryll\APPLIC~1\JUNKEG~1\dentaxis.exe

I do not want to delete the other 2 you told me to fix, as I know this might result in more problems, so I need your input first on what to do next.

Please proceed, the Messenger 3 Plus uninstaller managed to take out the entries. If the only thing you could not download is the VX2 cleaner plugin, don't worry about it for now. Wehn you post the logs we will address the problem.

Please download Hoster- Unzip it to your desktop.

Open up Hoster
  • Make sure that the "make hosts writable?" button in the upper right corner is enabled.
  • Click back up Host files
  • Click Restore orginal host files
  • Close the program

How is your system now? Are the popups ad redirects gone?

Yes, the popup ad redirects are gone. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Is the computer completely clean now? Or is there more to do?

The computer appears to be clean. There is a little bit more work to do to put things back the way they were and to help prevent future infections.

Your log appears to be clean. If you still have any problems let me know and we will work on diagnosing those through other means. If not, there are just a few more things to go through to finish this off and help prevent future infections. Please post one more time even if you have no problems so we can mark this thread as resolved.

Disabling the Viewing of Hidden and System Files
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Deselect the Show hidden files and folders option.
  • Select the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Select the Hide protected operating system files option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.

Setting a new Restore Point
Go to Start >> Run - type control sysdm.cpl,,4 & press Enter.
  • Tick the checkbox - Turn off System Restore on all drives
  • Click Apply
  • Turn it back 'On' by unticking the same checkbox & click OK

Windows Update
Make sure to get the latest updates for Windows and Internet Explorer at Microsoft Update Site.

Prevention
A good virus scanner is a necessity in today's computer environment. Many virus scanners include active components that protect you from infection without even running a scan. Some good free antivirus programs include:
AVG Free
Avast! Home Edition (Antivirus & Firewall)
AntiVir

A firewall is the first line of defense standing between the internet and your computer. Some good free firewalls are:
Zone Alarm
Outpost
Tiny Personal Firewall
Avast! Home Edition (Antivirus & Firewall)

Adaware SE and Spybot SD are a pair of anti-spyware scanners that should be run every week or two. Although there is some overlap there are many pieces of malware that is caught by one of these and not the other, therefore it is recommended you use both to compliment each other. Spybot also contains two other useful pieces. The first is "Immunize", this helps protect your computer against known exploits. The second is "TeaTimer", with this feature enabled you will receive notifications of all changes to the registry such as programs adding themselves to start-up and you default search page being changed.

Spyware Blaster is a powerful tool that prevents "drive-by" downloads and other unwanted installations. It also uses no system resources, run it once and you're all set. Spyware Guard Is a realtime protection engine to guard your computer from spyware. This program does for spyware what an antivirus program does for viruses.

IE-Spyad is a program that only needs to be run once to protect you from many malicious sites. It adds domains of known adware companies into the Restricted List of Internet Explorer, preventing them from performing malicious actions on your PC.

The MVPS HOSTS file is a file you can download and use to replace your regular hosts file. It prevents many sites from performing malicious actions by blocking the sites from ever being accessed.

Together these programs form a powerful barrier between the Internet and your computer. However, all the programs stand alone and feel free to eliminate any you are not comfortable with. Any protection you add to your PC is better than no protection at all.

Alternative Programs
Here are some alternatives that are either less suceptible than others to malware or don't contain malware where similar programs do.

Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

Desktop Weather - Free taskbar weather program that is free, malware free, and resource light.

Firefox - This is an increasingly popular alternate browser. Whilst Internet Explorer is not a bad browser, almost every exploit crafted is targeted to take advantage of an IE weakness.

Sun's Java - It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

There do not seem to be any more problems with the computer. I will post a new HJT log if problems do arise in the future.

Thank you for your help. =) =)

I have downloaded a few of the programs that you posted to prevent this from happening again.
