1. Experiencing persistent popups - (including OuterInfo), radio celebrity gossip plays periodically in the background, and some popups are trying to make me download certain programs. I have determined that the radio music is "Qwikcast."
2. Even though I use Firefox as my main browser, I hear clicking sounds in the background like IE is trying to load a page. All popups appear in IE, except when the spyware/malware tries to download a program (i.e. "Error Protector," "System Doctor"). Then the download page (and dialog box) appears in Firefox, asking me if I want to download whatever app. they're promoting. The popup problem becomes even worse when I open IE (I have to keep IE installed, since I must check webpage design work in both IE and FF).
3. I have followed the instructions in this thread on how to remove OuterInfo. But, even though I've run ComboFix (and installed AVG AntiSpyware), I still have popups! Including OuterInfo.
4. Upon startup, I get a Windows Script Host error from a Javascript file. (I'm assuming this is related to the spyware.)
C:\Program Files\func.js "Error: The system cannot find the file specified. Code 8007002."
5. Upon startup, AVG Spyware shows: Adware.ZQwest "C:\Windows\Tk58.exe" and many of the "Quarantined" files inside AVG Anti-Spyware are DLL's. I am afraid to delete them b/c I don't know if they're connected to other Windows applications. Among the files I have inside the Quarantine folder are:
WINDOWS\System32\eg.dll
WINDOWS\System32\gfnbxnt.dll
C:\Program Files\func.exe\Messenger\wopud512.dll
C:\Program Files\func.exe\Messenger\wopud569.dll
C:\Program Files\func.exe\Messenger\wopud601.dll
And some EXE files:
C:\sysgcbq.exe
C:\syseefw.exe
C:\sysbwip.exe
C:\sysbxbs.exe
C:\syscdwm.exe
And of course, there are others. If needed, I can post a full log of everything inside my AVG quarantine folder.
