Hijack This log file - any ideas?

Hi,
I got hijacked yesterday with the following symptoms:
1) Toolbar was added to IE and home page redirected to www.slotch.com
2) New dial-up connections were created (e.g. GBdialer).
3) Heaps of unwanted software was downloaded (e.g. Power Scan, ISTsvc) and heaps of pop-ups (including Xads).
4) Can't access some web pages anymore (e.g. hotmail).

I have remove the unwanted software where possible and have run Adaware and Spybot (with the latest definitions). Most of the problems seem to be gone but I still cannot access some webpages and every now and then a DOS-like window called C:\\Windows\System32\cmd.exe opens up which looks like it is downloading new ad software.

Here is my Hijack This log file after running Adaware and Spybot:

Restart to safe mode.

How to start your computer in safe mode

Because XP will not always show you hidden files and folders by default, Go to Start > Search and under "More advanced search options".
Make sure there is a check by "Search System Folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search system subfolders"

Next click on My Computer. Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Now find and delete these files:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\xvapyl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\winsys.exe

Empty the Recycle Bin.


Go here and download Adaware SE.

Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window :Click Start then under Select a scan Mode tick Perform full system scan.

Next deselect Search for negligible risk entries.

Now to scan just click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose select all from the drop down menu and click Next)

Restart your computer.



Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Restart your computer.

When you are sure you are clean turn it back on and create a restore point.


Go here and do an online virus scan.

Be sure and put a check in the box by "Auto Clean" before you do the scan. If it finds anything that it cannot clean have it delete it or make a note of the exact file name and file location so you can delete it yourself.
