| download the attached CFScript.txt and save it to your desktop ( click on the link underneath this post & if you are using internet explorer when the "File download" pop up comes press SAVE and choose desktop in the list of selections in that window & press save) Close any open browsers and make sure you are disconnected from the net. Unplug the cable if need be before going any further Then drag the CFScript.txt into the ComboFix.exe as shown in the screenshot below. ![]() This will start ComboFix again. It may ask to reboot. Post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a new HijackThis log. Remember to reconnect to the net and enable any disabled antivirus etc BEFORE reconnecting Note: these instructions and script were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these instructions or use this script as it could damage the workings of your system. This will create a zip file named something like [38]-Submit_2008-01-17@17.50.zip at the end it will pop up an alert & open your browser and ask you to send the zip file please follow those instructions. We need to see the zip file before we can carry on with the fix If there is no pop up alert or open browser then please go to http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?board=1.0 and upload these files so I can examine them and if needed distribute them to antivirus companies. Just press new topic, fill in the needed details and just give a link to your post here & then press the browse button and then navigate to & select the files on your computer, If there is more than 1 file then press the more attachments button for each extra file and browse and select etc and then when all the files are listed in the windows press send to upload the files ( do not post HJT logs there as they will not get dealt with) Files to submit: the zip file on desktop created by combofix named something like [38]-Submit_2008-01-17@17.50.zip

| should be fine now *Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware* * Click *START* then *RUN* * Now type *Combofix /u* in the runbox and click *OK*. Note the *space* between the *X* and the *U*, it needs to be there. [img] http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...CF_Cleanup.png [/img] then Turn off system restore by following instructions here for XP http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?page=8 or for Vista http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial143.html That will purge the restore folder and clear any malware that has been put in there. Then reboot & then re-enable system restore & create a new restore point. Now Empty Recycle bin on desktop go here http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?page=3 for info on how to tighten your security settings and how to help prevent future attacks. and scan here http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ for out of date & vulnerable common applications on your computer Then pay an urgent visit to windows update & make sure you are fully updated, that will help to plug the security holes that let these pests on in the first place
