This has actually been posted about before but I couldn't find a solution for my computer. Yesterday I received a link from a good friend saying "is this you?" and then a link saying something about a photo and the end had my email address in it. I foolishly assumed it was actually a picture of me and opened it. Now its sending the same message to EVERY single person on my msn even if they're blocked or if I'm set to appear offline. I ran Ad-Aware SE, AVG Free Edition and Spybot Search and Destroy, with still no resolution.


I also ran Hijackthis and here is what it came up with:

Welcome to GTG.

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should 'not' have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' (or 'Show all files') is enabled. Also make sure that 'Display the contents of system folders' is checked. If you have Windows XP, the search feature is a little different. When you click on 'All files and folders' on the left pane, click on the 'More advanced options' at the bottom. Make sure that 'Search system folders', 'Search hidden files and folders', and 'Search subfolders' are checked.

For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we think is bad to keep).

Reboot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key until menu shows up. In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work. Make sure to close any open browsers. Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click 'Kill process' for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be - but double check):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\run.exe

Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:

Free Mp3 Finder

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://lciopiqrxrqhd...xHHXz1u949v.htm
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Free Mp3 Finder] C:\PROGRA~1\CEQUAL~1\FreeMp3\MP3FIN~1.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows] run.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows] run.exe


Delete the following Files/Folders (delete folders if no filename is specified) according to their directory (if none, just do a search for them) and delete them if they exist:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\run.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\CEQUAL~1\


Reboot into Normal Mode run a new HijackThis scan. Save the log file and post it here.
