Hello, :tazz:
I've been looking at the posts relating to freeprod.com, but still can't get anywhere with removing the thing. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out. I've been through your initial recommended steps, and have microsoft antispyware software installed on my computer. It keeps picking up things, but after deleting them they come back!
Freeprod.com says it's installing my content... and keeps coming back. Anyway, I've done a Hijack This scan, which I attach below. There seems to be a file called mc-58-12-0000093.exe which is causing this, but I can't delete it.

Thanks for all help, I hope you're not fed up with fixing this problem!

Hello again, thanks for all your help. I thought things were going better, but have just looked at the hijack this log, and am now not so sure.

I followed instructions, but came across a few problems:
Ad-aware wouldn't update - it said "error retrieving update".
Killbox, no problem.
Spybot couldn't install because "framedyn.dll" was missing. It recommended reinstallation, but that didn't help.
Ewido downloaded ok, but when I tried to run the scan later on as instructed, it couldn't update due to no online connection (even though I was on the internet at the time), and therefore wouldn't run.

Anyway, I went into safe mode, but it wouldn't let me merge the info to the registry, because RemoveTrustedZone.reg was "not a registry script". It also said it could only import binary reg files, if that helps.
As mentioned earlier, Ewido wouldn't run due to failed updating.
I cleared out prefetch and then ran hijack this and fixed checked as instructed. I then ran ad-aware, and let it remove what it found. I then cleaned out temp and tif files, and ran killbox and cleanup as directed.

For some reason the virus scan from pandasoft wouldn't work, so the only logfile I could save and post is HJT. I hope we are getting somewhere, thanks again for your help.

Hi wg76

You did not install ewido this is very good at removing trojans and malware.

Please read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

You are running HijackThis from its zipped archive; please create a new folder for it and unzip the program into it. It is very important you do this before anything else!

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows Service] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sex.exe
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.addictivetechnologies.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.addictivetechnologies.net
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.awmdabest.com

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.megapornix.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.overpro.com

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sex.exeExit Explorer.Reboot as normal.

Download Pocket Killbox and unzip it; save it to your Desktop.
Run killbox and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. Paste the file's one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.
The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.
Let the system reboot.

Please run the following free, online virus scans.
http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm
http://housecall.tre.../start_corp.asp
Please post the logs From Panda virus scan and HJT.logWe will need them to remove previous infections that have left files on your system.

Hello again, and thanks again, I think we are on track!

I tried Ewido again, but couldn't get it to work. I did as requested with Hijack this, and then rebooted in safe mode and tried to delete the file as requested. I couldn't find it either using Windows Explorer or looking in system32 files manually.

I rebooted, and tried to delete the files using pocket killbox, but it said "PendingFileRemoveOperations Reg Data has been removed by external processes" - does this mean it was already gone? I hope so!!!

Again, neither Panda or Housecall online virus scans would work, but here is my HJT log. Are the svchost.exe files meant to be there?

Looks good, no problems so far. I ran the McAfee Stinger programme, it picked up nothing, and for the first time the Microsoft AntiSpyware program was also clear.

Do you think all is ok?

Thanks again!

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use). Click Here
QUOTE
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox.
http://www.mozilla.o...oducts/firefox/
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .
You can download Sun's newer JVM for Windows at http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html.
http://www.java.com/...load/manual.jsp Windows (Offline Installation)

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.

Have a nice Day.
