Run HiJackThis. Place a check next to the following item and click FIX CHECKED:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gwxpuzrt] i:\windows\system32\gwxpuzrt.exe -start

Close HiJackThis.

Reboot and post a new HiJackThis log.

Are you having any other problems at all? When you right-click on the desktop and go to properties are all your tabs present (there should be 5)?

Item removed.

I Have not noticed anything obvious. My dad uses this machine quite a lot and he's quite a newbie, thats how i got bogged down with all this trouble originally, he does'nt know enough yet to be able to avoid all the tricks, scams and spurious popups. I have my browser security set real high, to the extent that i have to click to approve nearly every bit of scripting, usually several times for every page. It's a pain in the [bleep] but it allows me to maintain some control of my browser, maybe i'm wrong about that, or perhaps there's a better way. I've instructed my dad to click on "no" every time unless the page does'nt load and he knows it is a reputable site, i was under the impression that that tactic would work quite well... Before that there was new spyware and unidentified desktop icons and stuff in the task bar nearly every week!

Everything seems to be back in order now, no more popups yet and norton has been quiet ever since. There does appear to be a wild number of processes running but i figure thats just innefficient configuration. I once knew of a helpfull site which listed nearly all the known task manager processes and classified them as malicious, system critical or just downright innefficient 3rd party resource hoggers etc. It was very helpfull and i was able to get the process count down to around 25, it's sitting at 41 at the moment!

Anyway enough waffling, here is my updated logfile...

Your log looks great! If you want to block pop-ups, I highly recommed the Google toolbar :)

Let me know if you would like to remove optional items from startup because we can certainly do that :tazz:

Congratulations your log is clean! Great job on the clean up ;)

I recommend checking the http://www.microsoft.com website periodically for critical updates to install.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

Ewido Security Suite <= Protection against Trojans, Worms, Dialers, Hijackers, Spyware, and Keyloggers.

Detect and Remove Programs:
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
Prevention Programs:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= block pop-ups!
