Hi BruceandPhil,

Please print out these instructions or copy them into a text file on your Desktop for easy access.

During the fix, u will be asked to fix some entries, delete some files or uninstall sosme programs. If in case, you do not see those entries / files / programs, please make a note of it. Continue with the fix and in your next post please inform me of all deviations from the fix prescribed.

1. Download Programs

Please download these programs and save them in a new folder on your desktop -

SSFix.exe
CleanUp
Ewido Security Suite

Update the definitions of Ewido to the newest files and then close it. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Restart the PC in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key when the PC is starting up).

2. Remove Infections

Run SSFix.exe

Run Ewido full scan. Let it fix any items it finds.

Close all windows

3. Run Hijack This

Run Hijack This and click on scan. The following items need to be fixed -

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C8B2A36-3DB1-42A4-A3CB-D426709BBFEB} - (no file)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [qrqf] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\qrqf\qrqfm.exe


Close all windows other than Hijack This. Check the boxes next to above items and click on Fix checked.

4. Delete Rogue files

Open Windows explorer (right click on start and then click on explore). Locate and delete the following folders, if found -

C:\Program Files\SpySheriff
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\qrqf


Run CleanUp and delete all temp files including temporary internet files.

Reboot the PC in Normal Mode.


Run Hijack This and post a fresh HJT log along with Ewido scan report.
