Should I remove it ?

Thanks

[JasMonkey]

Hi bjtrox,

XoftSpy is a bad/rogue antispyware program. See Here for more information.

Now, reboot into safe mode (Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.)


Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes
next to all the entries listed below.

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\AUserInit.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Exif Launcher.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: hpoddt01.exe.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: Venturi 2.lnk = ?
O9 - Extra button: Spyware Doctor - {2D663D1A-8670-49D9-A1A5-4C56B4E14E84} - blank (file missing)
O9 - Extra button: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {BF4D7C51-B393-4C29-AAF3-99C50EA4CD35} - (no file) (HKCU)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Microsoft AntiSpyware helper - {BF4D7C51-B393-4C29-AAF3-99C50EA4CD35} - (no file) (HKCU)

Now close all windows other than
HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

Please remove these entries from Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel(if present):

XoftSpy


Please delete these folders using Windows
Explorer(if present):

C:\Program Files\XoftSpy


Please delete these files using Windows
Explorer(if present):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\AUserInit.exe <--- This file.

After that, Reboot and post a new HijackThis log.

[bjtrox]

Ok.....sysytem is now looking for Xsoft at boot up......

[JasMonkey]

I need you to tell me exactly what the error you get says when your system tries to locate XoftSpy.

Also, are you setting the control panel restrictions?

[bjtrox]

The Xsoft error is gone!! By George I think you have cured me......



Thanks a bunch....

[JasMonkey]

Congratulations bjtrox! Your system is CLEAN

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.

• Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
  
• AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
  
• SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
  
• SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
  
• IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
  
• CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
  
• 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.
  
• Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
  
• 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)

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein
