I'm looking for a little help... I've run adaware, spybot, AVG, the web scans and the windows servicepack updates, and I'm still getting constant SearchInqwire, PartyPoker.com, and some Registry Cleaner popups.

Soooo... I searched the post for related questions and found a posting by Walt that Metalicca answered with advice to run Findit. I've run it, and STILL the popups won't go awat! Below is the Findit Log, and I'm posting the Hijack This log after that. Any advice?

Hi pariaugs

Welcome to geekstogo ;)

Please read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

Please download and install these programs - don't run them yet!!

Please download and unzip
About:Buster to a folder. Inside the folder is a readme file that has instructions on the use of the program.
AboutBuster MUST be updated before you use it.
Start AboutBuster, click the update button, check for update, drag the box to the side and hit download updates, close the box . Don't run it yet.


Please download and install AD-Aware.
Check Here on how setup and use it - please make sure you update it first.

Download and unzip cwsserviceremove to your desktop. use either link below:
cwsserviceremove

cwsserviceremove.zip


Download CW-Shredder at the link below:
CWShredder

Open Windows Explorer & 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 untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

For anyone using Windows XP, 'Search' will not automatically show hidden files even if your folder options settings are set to do that. Do this so you can see hidden files and folders - Click here to download xphidden.zip. Extract xphidden.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop. When done, double-click the xphidden.reg and when asked to merge say yes.

Using Windows Add Remove Program Files uninstall the following Program:
C:\Program Files\VBouncer\VirtualBouncer.exe


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here's the fix:

Important Step
1. Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok
Scroll down and find the service called:

No items to delete move on to next step

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. If you don´t find this service listed go ahead with the next steps.

2. Reboot into Safe Mode: Click here if you don't know how to do this.


3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once -> Click Task Manager -> Click the Processes tab -> Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes -> Scroll through the list and look for:

C:\WINDOWS\javana32.dll (file missing)
C:\WINDOWS\System32\upmms.dll (file missing)
c:\documents and settings\rascal\local settings\temp\guX8wWbI.exe
c:\documents and settings\rascal\local settings\temp\iflJs.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\VBouncer\VirtualBouncer.exe
D0CE0C16B1,D0CE0C16B1
C:\Documents and Settings\Rascal\Application Data\eetu.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?pdb.exe

If you find the files, click on them, and then click End Process -> Exit the Task Manager.

4. CLOSE ALL WINDOWS AND BROWSERS Scan with HijackThis and put checks next to all the following,

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = www.google.com
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = www.google.com
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page_bak = about:blank

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VBouncer] C:\PROGRA~1\VBouncer\VirtualBouncer.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [98D0CE0C16B1] rundll32.exe D0CE0C16B1,D0CE0C16B1
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Aida] C:\Documents and Settings\Rascal\Application Data\eetu.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Upg] C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?pdb.exe
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {6685509E-B47B-4f47-8E16-9A5F3A62F683} - file://C:\Program Files\Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker\Sy350\Tp350\scri350a.htm (file missing) (HKCU)
O15 - Trusted IP range: 206.161.125.149
O15 - ProtocolDefaults: 'http' protocol is in My Computer Zone, should be Internet Zone (HKLM)
O16 - DPF: {10000000-1000-0000-1000-000000000000} - file://C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\egztydov.exe

O16 - DPF: {9BFC2253-B9D9-477E-9488-CA450232620D} (BinAg1 Class) - https://fastconnectk...flowActiveX.CAB

Then click on "Fix Checked"

5. Using Windows Explorer delete the following files if present:
If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. if it is uncheck it and try again.

C:\WINDOWS\javana32.dll <--Delete this file
C:\WINDOWS\System32\upmms. <--Delete this file
c:\documents and settings\rascal\local settings\temp\guX8wWbI.exe<--Delete this file
c:\documents and settings\rascal\local settings\temp\iflJs.exe<--Delete this file
C:\PROGRA~1\VBouncer\<--Delete the whole folder
D0CE0C16B1,D0CE0C16B1<--Delete this file
C:\Documents and Settings\Rascal\Application Data\eetu.exe<--Delete this file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?pdb.exe<--Delete this file

(and any other files with the same name that end in .dll, .exe or .dat, you may find them right next to each other, example - appsw.exe, appsw.dll, appsw.dat)

6. Run AboutBuster . This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report (copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.

7. Scan with AdAware and let it remove any bad files found.

8. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:

Download the ccleaner
I use this Program and is setup like this all boxs are check.

Clean out all temp files in Mozilla, Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer: Tools/ Internet Options/ General/ Temporary internet files/ Delete Files (NOTE, that this may take very long!). You can also set the memory limit to about 80 MB at the Settings.

Mozilla: Edit/ Options/ Extended/ Cache/ Clear Cache

9. Double click on the cwsserviceremove and when asked to merge say yes.

10. Run CW-Shredder - Hit the FIX button - let it run and fix what it finds.

11. Reboot into normal mode.

12. Download the Hoster from here Press "Restore Original Hosts. and press "OK". Exit Program.

Please run the following free, online virus scans.
http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm
http://housecall.tre.../start_corp.asp

[b]Please post the logs From both virus scans and HJT.log we will need them to remove previous infections that have left files on your system.
