Solved: panda activescan/oneclicksearches

[123precision]

I've got the oneclicksearches hijack & I've tried to fix it with Spybot S&D, Adaware, Microsoft Antispyware, Hijack this, etc. But it keeps coming back. I'm trying to run a Panda activescan but the oneclicksearches page pops up whenever I try to run the scan. Please help! Thanks!

Hi 123precision

Welcome to TSG!

I'm going through your log now. I'll post diredtions in the next ten or fifteen minutes.

 

[Flrman1]

** Before you proceed with the removal directions below you need to turn off MS Anti-Spyware's realtime protection as it will interfere with the changes we are trying to make.

Open MS Anti-Spyware and click on Options > Settings. Click on "Realtime Protection" in the left pane.

Remove the check by these:

"Enable the Microsoft Security Agents on startup (recommended)"

"Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended)"

Click "Save"

Now right click the MS Anti-spyware icon in your system tray and choose "Shutdown Microsoft Anti-Spyware"

You should re-enable these when we are finished here.


Please read these instructions carefully and copy them to notepad! Save the notepad file to your desktop so you will have it to refer to. Be sure to follow ALL instructions!


* * Go here to download CCleaner.

• Install CCleaner
• Launch CCleaner and look in the upper right corner and click on the "Options" button.
• Click "Advanced" and remove the check by "Only delete files in Windows temp folders older than 48 hours".
• Click OK
• Do not run CCleaner yet. You will run it later in safe mode.

* Click Here and download Killbox and save it to your desktop.


* Click here to download smitfraud.reg. Download it and "Save" it to your desktop and have it ready to run later.


* Click here for info on how to boot to safe mode if you don't already know how.


* Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and remove the following programs, if found:

Security IGuard
Virtual Maid
PSGuard
AdwareDelete
Search Maid

Exit Add/Remove Programs.


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

* Double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Now put a tick by Standard File Kill. In the "Full Path of File to Delete" box, copy and paste each of the following lines one at a time then click on the button that has the red circle with the X in the middle after you enter each file. It will ask for confimation to delete the file. Click Yes. Continue with that same procedure until you have copied and pasted all of these in the "Paste Full Path of File to Delete" box.

C:\wp.exe

C:\wp.bmp

C:\bsw.exe

C:\Windows\sites.ini

C:\Windows\popuper.exe

C:\Windows\System32\wldr.dll

C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp5C68.tmp

C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe

Note: It is possible that Killbox will tell you that one or more files do not exist. If that happens, just continue on with all the files. Be sure you don't miss any.

Exit the Killbox.


* 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"

Find and delete these folders if they exist:

C:\Program Files\Search Maid
C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid
C:\Program Files\PSGuard
C:\Program Files\AdwareDelete
C:\Program Files\Security IGuard
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Services
C:\Windows\System32\Log Files



* IMPORTANT!: If you forget to run the smitfraud.reg file you may not be able to boot your computer normally. DO NOT forget this step. Locate smitfraud.reg on your desktop and doubleclick on it. When asked if you want to merge with the registry click YES. After you receive the prompt "merged successfully", follow the rest of instructions below.


* Start Ccleaner and click Run Cleaner


* Go to Control Panel > Internet Options. Click on the Programs tab then click the "Reset Web Settings" button. Click Apply then OK.


* Before you restart your computer back to Windows normally, go to Control Panel > Internet Options and click on the "Connections" Tab. Click on the "Settings" button under your Dialup connection or on the "LAN Settings" for broadband. Remove the check by "Use a proxy server for this connection" for dialup or for broadband remove the check by "Use a proxy server for your LAN". Click Apply then OK and then restart your computer to Windows normally.


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


* Run ActiveScan online virus scan here.

When the scan is finished, anything that it cannot clean have it delete it. Make a note of the file location of anything that cannot be deleted so you can delete it yourself.
- Save the results from the scan!

Post a new HiJackThis log along with the results from ActiveScan
