[Warwix]

Hey all. First time posting here, even though I've searched and found answers to many problems in the past. I am here right now because of an issue with my firefox browser. While mindlessly surfing a while ago, I ran into a popup for spy sherrif. Right off the back I started sweating cause I have dealt with that particular issue before and it took a while to get my system righted again. I slowly eased away from the popup (closed the window) only to find that the next time I tried to open firefox, it never opened. I checked the task manager and saw that is was running, but no window had opened. I immediately ran programs including Symantec, Ad-Aware, registry mechanic, super cleaner and ewido to try and combat what ever the hell got into my comp. I eventually found and cornered a backdoor.haxdoor as well as another trojan. Basically I have expelled all of my know how to try and get the bugs outa my system. Another thing to note is that IE works just fine as well as Firefox (safe mode) as that is what I am on right now. Here is my hijack this file

# Launch Ewido Anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
# Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
# Ewido will now begin the scanning process. Be patient this may take a little time.
Once the scan is complete do the following:
# If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
# Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
# Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
# Close Ewido and reboot your system back into Normal Mode.



reboot to normal mode and run a few online scans!


Make sure your ActiveX controls are set as follows:

Go to Internet Options - Security - Internet, press 'default level', then OK.
Now press "Custom Level."
