Hello there, I'd like to say thank you to any who may be reading this and adding helpful information first before I continue.

Okay, my problem is that I did indeed try to download this fake codec and install it on my system. Not once, but twice, when I wondered why I couldn't see the video still. I don't know if that matters at all but I don't want to leave anything out just in case. I have run Spybot - Search and Destoy, Avast! Anti-virus, Lavasoft AdAware and also the program that your own topic recommends FixIEDef. I noticed that the wording in the Critical Warning box I received was different than those that were shown and perhaps it's something new. I'll show it here



Below I'll post my HijackThis log.

Hello there again, I'd like to say firstly that I'm sorry if I have wasted anyone's time on this. It looks like the problem is now fixed. After running all of the scans I had and stumbling upon this site by way of Google. I had posted after the FixIEDef program did not work, where it had said to post a HijackThis log here.

After I posted that I 'thumbed' through, so to speak, the sticky posts at the top of the forums and downloaded and ran the programs. Lo and behold SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition detected my problem and took care of it. In case anyone is interested, the problem lay in O2 - BHO: IE plugin - {6F6D1C90-7BEE-4A15-8DAB-9C37A643FD3A} - C:\WINDOWS\pmspl.dll.

Once again, I'm sorry if I took anyone's time in this. I would like to say though, after reading through many posts as I waited for the scans to run on the affected computer, that this is quite possibly the best and most helpful site/forum group I have ever come across. I'm sure had it come to it the problem would have been fixed handily. Keep up your awesome work, I am sure everyone appreciates everything you do and have done.

No apology needed. Nobody's time was wasted.

We get so many logs, it makes it tough to answer them all. However if you wish to do the following I can double check to make sure your PC is running ok(it won't take long)



Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.
  • Close all other windows before proceeding.
  • Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
  • If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
  • When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

That happens sometimes it seems. Try this instead

Download WinPFind3U.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.
  • Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.
  • Under Additional Scans on the bottom right, check the boxes for Reg - Disabled MS Config Items.
  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
Use the Add Reply button and Copy/Paste the information back here in an attachment. I will review it when it comes in. The last line is < End of Report >, so make sure that is the last line in the attached report.

Make sure you attach the report in your reply.



Also post a new HijackThis log

You just have some left overs, so there isn't much work to do

Start WinPFind3U. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the pane where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

QUOTE
[Kill Explorer]
[Registry - Non-Microsoft Only]
< ShellExecuteHooks [HKLM] > -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks

[Empty Temp Folders]
[Start Explorer]
[Reboot]


The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix. Post that information back here along with a new WinPFind3u scan(attach the WinPFind3 scan report).

I will review the information when it comes back in.




Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT

    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
      Scan Archives
      Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
      Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
    • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.


Also post a new HijackThis log. No need to attach any of these reports, you can just paste them here

And finally the WinPFind3U scan. I followed your instructions on this and it didn't open any notepad showing the fixes after the fix, it just told me that to finish it had to reboot the computer so I clicked yes. I am attaching the scan done after the reboot though.

Your logs are clean ! We need to do a few little things

You can delete the tools that we used


You now need to update your Java and remove your older versions.

Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.

* Click Start > Control Panel.
* Click Add/Remove Programs.
* Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name.
* Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and install it to your computer from
here



Now we need to create a new System Restore point.

Click Start Menu > Run > type (or copy and paste)

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Next goto Start Menu > Run > type

cleanmgr

Click OK, Disk Cleanup will open and start calculating the amount of space that can be freed, Once thats finished it will open the Disk Cleanup options screen, click the More Options tab then click Clean up on the system restore area and choose Yes at the confirmation window which will remove all the restore points except the one we just created.

To close Disk Cleanup and remove the Temporary Internet Files detected in the initial scan click OK then choose Yes on the confirmation window.



Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:
SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

Make Internet Explorer more secure
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.
