Hello,

Please download FixwareOut from one of the following sites:
http://www.bleepingc.../Fixwareout.exe
http://downloads.sub.../Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. If your firewall gives an alert, (because this tool will download an additional file from the internet), please don't let your firewall block it, but allow it instead.
Then you will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log.

Hello,

* Start HijackThis, close all open windows leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following:

O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE <== this is a resource hog
O4 - User Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE <== this is a resource hog
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://207.188.7.150...ip/RdxIE601.cab

* Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Let me know in your next reply how things are now.

[j0nh d0e]

Hi,

Things seem OK now. The antivirus is not finding anything.

Thank you very much. Anything else I should do or check?

[miekiemoes]

Hi,

You should be ok here now. It won't hurt to perform another Antispywarescan to get rid of the leftovers if still present.

Glad I could help.

Please read my Prevention page with lots of info and tips how to prevent this in the future.
And if you want to improve speed/system performance after malware removal, take a look here.

Happy Surfing again!
