We'll use some clean-up tools first - if you already have any of these and you are sure they are the latest version then just skip and move on to the next one.

Click here to download Spybot Search & Destroy v1.3 - install, update, scan and fix all RED items it finds. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Ad-Aware SE and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?". Reboot when done.

Click here to download Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, check for updates and run it. Reboot when done.

Rescan with mwav and post the results here again here so that any remnants can be removed manually.

Click here to download Pocket Killbox by Option^Explicit. Extract it from the zip file to your desktop.

Start Killbox and click on Tools->Delete Temp Files. When that finishes, copy and paste each of the following lines into the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each. Keep track of any files it tells you either could not be found or could not be deleted, as you'll need those later:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp2.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp3.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp3A.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp3C7.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp4C.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\drp99.tmp\thnall2c.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\ptf_0006.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\ptf_0015.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\THIF33.tmp\ceres.cab
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Owner\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\uninstall.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\dist001.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\gogotoolssilawo19pi.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\GSM2.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\guninst.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wldr.dll


For the files that it either couldn't find or couldn't delete, in the killbox again this time, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.

Reboot if it doesn't do so automatically. Post a new mwav scan and HJT log in your next reply.

Click here to download and install Registrar Lite. Double click the purple Registrar Lite icon on your desktop. Copy the line below and paste it into the "Address" field (located at the top) of the program:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

Click the "Go" button and it will take you into the "Policies" folder. Locate the "System" folder (in the right panel), if found, right-click on the System folder and go to Delete

Be very careful that you only delete the System folder that is inside the Policies folder.

Reboot your computer again.

Let me know.

You're welcome - glad to help :tazz:

To help keep you clean follow the recommendations in Tony's article here:

So how did I get infected in the first place?
