Hi Jimmy! =)

I've done a few searches on google and the problem seems to be solved! I would ask you what all those programs you asked me to do did to clear it up and why all my anti-virus scans did not work but I think I've already taken up more than enough of your time. I noticed a difference after I ran combo fix, programs on my computer seemed to revert back to normal. I really can't thank you enough for all your help on this matter I'm REALLY grateful to you and I really appreciate all you've done. It may not seem like a big thing to you but it definitely is to me. I've been so frustrated with this problem for the past 2 weeks and am so relieved it finally seems to be resolved. Thanks SO much once again, I really appreciate it! =D

Hello gz99,

ComboFix was able to remove the malware that you had that caused those problems, the malware you had has been going around a lot.

but I think I've already taken up more than enough of your time.

If you have a question, please feel free to ask. :)

Thanks SO much once again

You are welcome. :)


Your logs look clean, just a few more things to do.




You are using a old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, please update it here.








Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

Please download OTCleanIt and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double-click OTCleanIt.exe
  • Click the CleanUp! button to begin removing tools used to clean your computer
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, please select Yes

Please remove any leftover tools used to clean your computer.








The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

1. Spywareguard: Is realtime protection from spyware.

2. Spywareblaster: Helps protect against any bad ActiveX from installing on your computer.

3. SuperAntiSpyware: Use this program to help remove any spyware that may have gotten on your computer.

4. FireFox: This is a great alternate browser over Internet Explorer. Firefox is much more secure then Internet Explorer and also has a bulilt in pop up blocker.

5. ATF Cleaner: This program cleans out your temporary files. This is a great tool that can help speed your computer up.

6. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

7. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

Hi Jimmy!

I did all those recommended steps above as you suggested :) Do you by any chance have any suggestions to free up C drive? My C drive is running on very low space and I can't seem to free it up :S

Hello gz99,

Sure, remove any programs you don't need, delete any music, movie files that you don't want any more. Clean out your temp files and run a disk defragmenter to help speed up a little.
