Hi folks, thanks for all your help! On running Adaware with the VX2 addon, it claims I dont have the VX2 malware? I did, but now something else is coming up
, which I am trying to find the name of so I can then find a specific addon to try and remove it!
Richard thanks for the suggestion. I ran Hijackthis and got the following error about 4 seconds after it begins the scan:
"An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modMain_FixUNIXHostsFile()
Error #28 - Application-defined or object-defined error
Please email me at
[email protected], reporting the following:
* What you were doing when the error occurred
* How you can reproduce the error
* A complete HijackThis scan log, if possible
Windows version: Windows NT 5.01.2600
MSIE version: 6.0.2900.2180
HijackThis version: 1.98.2
This message has been copied to your clipboard."
It finds 2 entries before it gets to that stage, but then it does not complete the scan and closes the program - so there is no log that I can show you unfortunately.
It is scanning "O1 Hosts Files redirection" when it displays the error. The 2 entries it finds are:
* R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSetti ngs,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
* F2 - REG:system:ini Userint=C: \WINDOWS\system32\userint.exe, C: \WINDOWS\system32\wsaupdater.exe,
The F2 one looks like it has more info on the end of it, but I am unable to view it...
I tried re-downloading HijackThis incase it was corrupted during download, but get the same problem. Is there anything I should be changing in the Config section?
Thanks again folks for all your help, we can beat this b
tard thing yet!
Oh and for the record, I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (which I think was a mistake to download, problems just getting worse since I have done that!) - guessing XP is just a later version of NT?
(edited to put a space between the c: and the \, otherwise you get emoticons there - oops!)
