Hi,

Please run a new HJT! Scan, and check to fix the following entries, being sure to double check that you haven't missed any. Next, close all browser windows and click the Fix checked button…

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WNSC] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wnsintcc.exe


Next, please double click on the My Computer icon on the desktop. 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. Now click Apply to all folders, then click Apply then OK.

Then boot into safe mode, (see here for info if needed) and delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Temp folder, but not the folder itself. Next please find and delete the following bolded file...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wnsintcc.exe

Then please boot back into normal mode and post a new log, just to make sure. That should be you sorted out regards popups. This seems to be a new strain of executables causing multiple popups, and although the filename is ultimately random, they usually look like this..

wnxxxxxx.exe (random string length)

..to make them look as though they are genuine Windows files at first glance.

I do however urge anyone who wants to suddenly delete any files that look like this to proceed with caution..!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Liam
