Hi robonjoy

Welcome to TSG!

Run Hijack This again and put a check by these. Close all windows except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"

Restart to safe mode.

How to start your computer in safe mode

First in safe mode 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:

The C:\Program Files\TestCoal folder
The C:\Program Files\EXITFU~1 folder

I have no way of knowing the exact name of this folder, but the first six letters will be EXITFU

Also in safe mode navigate to the C:\Documents and Settings\ROBINJ~1.WEI\Local Settings\Temp folder. open the Temp folder and go to Edit > Select All then Edit > Delete to delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.

Boot back to normal.


Click here to download LspFix

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

Check all instances of inetadpt.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\inetadpt.dll file

 

THank you very much for your quick and helpful reply. I seem to have one lingering problem...now my explorer opens up to an "about:blank" page. any suggestions? thanks again

 

Let's see another Hijack This log please.

 

Here is the latest logfile. besides the about:blank hompage, I am also getting many repeat pop-ups from NiTechNetworks.com titled system performance info. is this something that would also appear in the hijack this log? thanks for you help!!!

Now you must delete the C:\Program Files\EXITFU~1 folder

Like I said before, I have no way of knowing the exact name of this folder, but the first six letters will be EXITFU. It is absolutely necessary that this folder be found and deleted.

 

I did what you said. I deleted the EXITFU file both times. I am still getting the "system Performance" popup from NicTechNetworks.com everytime I go to my home page. my system also seems to be operating slower. here is the latest hijack log

also how do I go out of safe mode when i am done. i am not sure i am doing the correct thing. because when i restart i get a message about selecting normal windows setup from the general tab. thanks

 

Now I am getting pop-ups without even opening up the internet explorer (I have a cable modem). also my start up is definitely slower and I am getting some freezing which i never got before. please, please help with this post and the one above. i am soooo frustrated and completely helpless when it come to computer technology. thanks so much

 

I suspect that you have the Look2Me parasite. This scumware is constantly changing to avoid detection and removal. Before we proceed I need to know if you are using XP Home or Pro.

Meanwhile I'll do some checking on the latest removal procedures for L2M.

 

i have XP home thanks
i even installed soy ferret and it is still lingering.

 

Sorry I haven't posted back here before now, but my son is in the hospital and I haven't had much time to be online. I'm working on it now.

 

Start with these steps:
Download:

http://download.broadbandmedic.com/VbStuff/VX2Finder.exe

Run VX2Finder.exe and click the FindVX2 button. It will display a list of what it found. Now click the Log button. The log should open in Notepad. Copy
and post it's contents.
(It is saved by default to your
%User%\Local Settings\Temp directory)

Next, go here:

http://www10.brinkster.com/expl0iter/freeatlast/dumprights.htm

Download the DumpRights.exe & Privilege.exe file and the ProcessFinder(tool)

UnZip the files.


First, DoubleClick on the tool.bat file found inside the ProcessFinder(tool).
*It'll generate a report . Copy and post it here.

Next, Run both 'Privilege.exe' and 'DumpRights.exe' tools.
in: "privilege": Check for the location of this string:
"SeDebugPrivilege->(Debug Programs)"
It should appear in one of the columns:
->'privileges that you have...'
or ->'privileges that you don't...'
*Post that info as well.(which column)

In 'DumpRights' Check for same string:
'SeDebugPrivilege'; whether it contains "+" sign and
can be expanded..
--Or not!
*Post that info as well.
