can Anyone Help Me????????????????????????????

[Flrman1]

IMPORTANT!: Before you run this tool please close ALL running programs. Sign off and stay off the internet until the entire procedure is complete.


Now run VX2Finder again and click on the Find VX2.Betterinternet button. It will display the entries as before. Select all these files

C:\WINDOWS\System32\6vo4svc.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\aoptif.dll

This time click on the Delete these files button. It will give you a message about one file to be deleted on reboot.
It will ask to reboot to delete the last file. Go ahead and Restart the computer

After it reboots run VX2Finder again and click on the User Agent button and it will delete the user agent string.

Next click on the Guardian.reg button and it will delete the Guardian Key.

Finally click the Restore Policy button to restore the Debug policy altered in the look2Me installation.

Restart your computer


Download the Hoster from here . UnZip the file and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.


Run VX2Finder again and save the log as you did before. Come back here and post that log.


Also please do this:

First create a permanent folder somewhere like in My Documents and name it Hijack This.

Now Click here to download Hijack This. Download it and click "Save". Save it to the Hijack This folder you just created.

Click on Hijackthis.exe to launch the program.

Click the "Scan" button when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.

The log should open in notepad. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.

DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Post that log and another VX2Finder log.

[Cookiegal]

Download the LPS Fix:

http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Launch the application, and click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox.

Check all instances of calsp.dll and aklsp.dll (and nothing else), and move them to the "Remove" pane.
Then click Finish.

Now start your computer in Safe Mode and delete:

The C:\windows\system32\calsp.dll - file
C:\windows\system32\aklsp.dll - file

Download the VX2Finder.exe tool. Click on the VX2Finder.exe and then click on the Click to Find VX2.Betterinternet button. It will display the files, the Guardian Key and User Agent string. Now click the Make Log button. It will open the log in notepad. Copy and paste that log here along with a new Hijack This log and wait for further instructions.

Thanks for the reply, here are the new logs after what you told me to do...One question, using the hosts file program, should I make it "read only"?

Boot to safe mode and delete bargain.exe.

How to start your computer in safe mode

[joey16g]

I deleted "bargains.exe" while in winXP but Im having a horrible problem with this whole thing, I go into safe mode and Ad-aware doesnt find it. I tried to delete everything I thought was associated with it while in Safe Mode. When I restart in winXP it is there again, over 130 malicious entries. Also, Spybot catches it as "eXact Advertisting.BargainsBuddy". What should I DO? I've tried everything, I'm at my wits end....thanks....

I think that worked, here are my logs:

Now, I'm having a different problem, I deleted "bargains.exe" while in winXP but Im having a horrible problem with this whole thing, I go into safe mode and Ad-aware doesnt find it. I tried to delete everything I thought was associated with it while in Safe Mode. When I restart in winXP it is there again, over 130 malicious entries. Also, Spybot catches it as "eXact Advertisting.BargainsBuddy". What should I DO? I've tried everything, I'm at my wits end....thanks....

[Flrman1]

Click here to download getservice.zip and unzip it to your desktop. Open the Getservice folder and click on the getservices.bat file. A notepad will open up with a long list of Services. Please save that notepad file and attach it to your next reply to this thread. It will be easier to attach it rather than copy and paste because it will be too long to paste in one post.

[Cookiegal]

The log looks good.

Did you not fix it with Spybot?

Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove and remove anything that looks like:

BargainBuddy
CashBack
NaviSearch

[joey16g]

I do that with Spybot and Ad-aware but this bargain buddy stuff keeps coming back...any new advice?
