Hi,
I seem to be having the same problems as several others with the "oneclicksearches" virus/adware. It redirects my homepage like everyone else's. It seems to be slowing my machine down somewhat. Before I found this website I ran every adware program I could find with no luck. I have already run all the ones that you guys have suggested and no help. I also have a red balloon with a "!" in it next to my clock the tells me my computer is infected... when you click on it it takes me to PSGuard.com wanting me to purchase something. Any help I would love... I've been trying to get rid of it for a long time. Here is my log.... THANK YOU!

1. We must stop, disable and delete an added service (023)

To stop a service and set to 'disabled'

Go to Start > Run and type in Services.msc then click OK

Click the Extended tab.

Scroll down until you find the service.

Service: SVX Control Service (Microsoft Config)

Click once on the service to highlight it.

Click Stop

Right-Click on the service.

Click on 'Properties'

Select the 'General' tab

Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side on the 'Start-up Type' box

From the drop-down menu, click on 'Disabled'

Click the 'Apply' tab, then click 'OK'

The service is now stopped and disabled.


2. I need to disable your Microsoft AntiSpyware Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes.

• Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
• Click on Options, Settings.
• In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
• Under Startup Options uncheck: Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
• Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck: Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
• After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
• Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware

3. Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

First we need to make all files and folders VISIBLE:

Go to start>control panel>folder options>view (tab)
*choose to "show hidden files and folders,"
*uncheck the "hide protected operating system files" and the "hide extensions for know file types" boxes.
*Close the window with ok
*All hidden files will now be visible

Please RUN HijackThis.
. Click the SCAN button to produce a log.

Place a check mark beside each one of the following items:

O2 - BHO: VMHomepage Class - {FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFA} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp5EBA.tmp
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [XML Service] msxml.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [91874a23e9d7] C:\WINDOWS\System32\adsldpc5.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [2s5R3tT] pngfg32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AtyNC] C:\WINDOWS\qmpxmi.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [intel32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\intel32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [SVX Control Service] svxhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [XML Service] msxml.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SVX Control Service] svxhost.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [JBu5Rjf6O] por_mtf.exe
O23 - Service: SVX Control Service (Microsoft Config) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\svxhost.exe" -netsvcs (file missing)


Now with all the items selected, and all windows closed except for HJT, delete them by clicking the FIX checked button. Close the HijackThis window and Reboot Your System in Safe Mode

How to use the F8 method to Start Your Computer in Safe Mode

*Restart the computer.
*as soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
*Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode menu item
*press Enter.


Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files, and DELETE them (if they are present):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\adsldpc5.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\intel32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp5EBA.tmp
msxml.exe<---You will have to search for this one
pngfg32.exe<---You will have to search for this one
C:\WINDOWS\qmpxmi.exe
por_mtf.exe<---You will have to search for this one too
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svxhost.exe

Exit Explorer, and REBOOT BACK INTO NORMAL MODE

Finally, RUN Hijackthis again and produce a new HJT log. Post it in the forum so we can check how everytjhing looks now.

Regards,

Trevuren

I am so grateful.... It seems to have worked awesome!!! Here is my final Log. I was wondering if there is anything else I can to do to prevent that from happening again? Much Thanks

Congratulations, your log shows that your SYSTEM IS CLEAN

There are a few things you must do once you are completely clean:

1. Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files from the backup that Windows makes as no program is able to clean those files:

TO DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE
1. Right-click "My Computer", and then left click "Properties".
2. Left click on "System Restore Tab"
3. Check box beside "Turn Off System Restore"
4. Left click on "Apply"

TO ENABLE SYSTEM RESTORE
1.Remove check mark from "Turn Off System Restore"
2.Click on "Apply"

2. Cleanup the leftovers. Download 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.


3. Finally, Re-hide your System Files and Folders to prevent any future accidents.


Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:

Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update
regularly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. With out these you are leaving the backdoor open.

I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
• 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.

To protect yourself further:

• Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
So how did I get infected in the first place? (My Favorite)
