It's badly compromised and may take several days to fix.

Preliminaries: Have these instructions printed or in a convenient Notepad (or Wordpad) file so you can view them in Safe Mode. Have "show hidden (or all) files" checked in Folder Options > View in case you have to search for any hidden files to delete. Also ensure you do NOT have "hide file extensions..." enabled in Folder Options > View

Before proceeding, move HijackThis into a PERMANENT folder, not temporary one.

Download and unzip to a convenient location the CoolWebShredder, CWShredder.exe available here: http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html

Then:

1 >> Restart in Safe Mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406

2 >> In Safe Mode run the CoolWebShredder, have it "fix" problems detected, then run HijackThis and check and "fix" the following entries:

Virtually ALL of the exes in the program paths above should be found and deleted. Too many for me to identifiy individuall. This needs to be done in Safe Mode.

3 >> Install, UPDATE and run both Ad-Aware and the VX2 plugin following directions below, reboot and post a new Scanlog. I will move this to the Security Forum for follow-ups.

Ad-Aware Home Page and Ad-Aware 6: Reference Guide by Winchester73

How Did I Get Infected?

{Basic Ad-Aware instructions: 1. Check for Updates. 2. Start > Activate in depth scan. 3. (note: green checks = enabled, it is best to leave defaults unless problems are encountered). 4. Use custom scanning options > Customize > Drives and Folders = Scan within Archives > Memory and Registry = check all. 5. Tweak > Scanning Engine = Unload recognized processes during scanning > Cleaning Engine = let windows remove files in use at next reboot > Proceed > Next. Upon completion > Select All. 6. Reboot}


How to use Lavasoft?s VX2 Cleaner plug-in

Close Ad-Aware 6 build 181 and Ad-Watch (if running)
Download the free VX2 Cleaner here
Install the VX2 Cleaner
Start Ad-Aware 6 build 181
Go to ?Plug-ins?
Select the VX2 Cleaner plug-in and click ?Run Plugin?
If your computer isn?t infected, click ?Close?.


If your computer is infected

Select ?Clean system?
Reboot your computer
Scan your computer with Ad-Aware
Remove any VX2 objects detected
Reboot your computer again
Run a second scan to make sure the files have been removed from your computer
