=====================================

Run HijackThis, and press "Do a System Scan Only".
1. When the scan is complete place a check mark next to the following entries:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [oscmaie] c:\users\aaron\appdata\local\oscmaie.exe oscmaie

2. After checking these items CLOSE ALL open windows EXCEPT HijackThis and click "Fix Checked." Then, reboot your computer...


Let me know if you are still getting the popups.

Hey sorry I was out of town for the weekend. I ran the OTMoveIt2 software and it successfuly moved the file on the reboot- the contents are posted below. However, when I ran HijackThis, it did not list "04 - HKCU\..\Run: [oscmaie] c:\users\aaron\appdata\local\oscmaie.exe oscmaie." I would imagine this is because the file was moved by OTMoveIt2. Should I do something differently to find it? I am still getting the popups at this point. Thanks

File move failed. c:\users\aaron\appdata\local\oscmaie.exe scheduled to be moved on reboot.

Download HostsXpert

• Extract the zip file to your desktop or a permanent folder on your hard drive.
• Open the folder and double-click on the HostsXpert.exe
• Press "Restore MS Hosts"
• Press "OK" and exit the program.
• Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.

Reboot and let me know about the popups.

[mmm_beer]

ugh... I tried the restore, but after pressing Ok I get an error that says : "ERROR: Cannot create file C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts." I tried it several times and get the same thing.

[sjpritch25]

Try this

Right-Click on HostsXpert.exe and choose Run as Administrator. Let me know if you still get that error.

[mmm_beer]

Still get it. May just be my wonderful computer.

[mmm_beer]

So is there any hope for me? I'm sorry my computer has been such a pain in the a$$ but I really do appreciate all the help you've given me.

[mmm_beer]

Actually, craziest thing happened. I just tried the HijackThis program again and the oscmaie thing finally showed up. I went ahead and fixed it and rebooted my computer. So far no popups, and in fact my computer seems to be running much faster (plus no mis-keys whatsoever). I'm really excited and hopeful right now but I'll monitor it for another day or so and let you know. Thanks again!

[sjpritch25]

great. Let me know.

[mmm_beer]

You are a genius! I have had no popup windows since removing that file, my computer is much, much faster, and all my keyboard keys are working perfectly again. Thank you so much! I have no idea how you figured it out, but you're brilliant. I really appreciate your help!

[sjpritch25]

Your Welcome!!!

Open OTMovit.exe and press the Cleanup button.
