Hi tommy123123,

Can you disable SpySweepers protection before you start the fix?

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AcAIec] C:\WINDOWS\ryclambh.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windoxs Update Center] W32RfSA.exe

O16 - DPF: {42F2C9BA-614F-47C0-B3E3-ECFD34EED658} (Installer Class) - http://www.ysbweb.co...ysb_regular.cab

Then reboot.

Now cut & paste these two files:
C:\WINDOWS\ryclambh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\W32RfSA.exe
into a zipfile and mail that to me please.
The address is pieterATwilderssecurity.org (replace AT with @)

They don't look like ISTbar to me but they sure look nasty.

Regards,

Pieter

Since this issue appears to be resolved ...

Then it must have been the O16 line that represents an ActiveX installer.
