Hi Devlin Carnet,

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…

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about :blank

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about :blank

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7C216C01-E8F6-4ECF-9DF4-F4DD1C0B0C1A} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ecc.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinLogin] win32x.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [delcab] C:\drivers\deltreew.exe C:\cabs

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [p0] C:\documents and settings\local settings\temp\p0.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [lB] C:\documents and settings\local settings\temp\lB.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [L] C:\documents and settings\local settings\temp\L.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 files...

win32x.exe (Probably in the C:\Windows\System32\.. folder, but if not, you'll need to search for it)

C:\documents and settings\local settings\temp\.. (please delete the entire contents of this folder, but again, not the folder itself.)

Then please boot back into normal mode and download AdAware SE from here.

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

Next, we need to configure Ad-aware for a full scan.

Click on the Gear icon (second from the left) to access the preferences/settings window

1. In the General window make sure the following are selected:
· Automatically save log-file
· Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
· Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

2. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select :
· Scan Within Archives
· Scan Active Processes
· Scan Registry
· Deep Scan Registry
· Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
· Scan my Hosts file

· Under Click here to select drives + folders, choose:
· All of your hard drives | Proceed

3. Click on the Advanced button on the left and select:
· Include additional process information
· Include additional file information
· Include environment information

4. Click the Tweak button and select:
· Under the Scanning Engine:
· Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
· Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
· Under the Cleaning Engine:
· Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

5. Click on Proceed to save the settings.

6. Click Start and on the next screen choose:
· Use Custom Scanning Options

7. Click Next and Ad-aware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

When 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).

Next, please reboot again and download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 from here: if you haven't already got the program.

Click on Updates | Download Updates, and follow the prompts.

Next, close all Internet Explorer windows, and click Check for Problems. Once the scan is complete, have SpyBot remove all it finds marked in RED.

Next reboot and go here, and run the online virus scan; choosing the Autoclean option just before clicking the Scan button.

Then please post a new log for a final once over.

This should do it, and is the easier option. If not, we'll go the more complex route and get rid of it that way instead.. :)

Cheers

Liam
