I was bombarded with lots of adware/spyware when browsing some web sites about 10 days ago. I have followed the initial instructions and downloaded multiple anti-spyware/trojan virus removal tools, including SpyBot, Ad-Aware, Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta, Trend Micro Anti-Spyware, and Ewido Security Suite. They have ALL removed multiple things everytime that they run. Then, I reboot, scan again, and there are more on there.

I have managed to get it to the point where I don't appear to be getting the pop-up ads anymore, but there are some programs that still keep trying to reinstall themselves. The Anti-spyware programs seem to be keeping them at bay for now, but I am getting the pop-ups from those now telling me that things are trying to install. It appears to be this one wtta.exe file that we cannot get rid of. The programs will say that it is clean, but that seems to be the main one still trying to reinstall after rebooting.

I do have Windows XP with all updates. Here is the Hijack This log:

Welcome to Geeks to Go!. Sorry about the delay in getting to your post, we have been very busy.

Do you still require help or are your problems resolved?

Please let me know and if you still require assistance, please post a fresh HJT log.

(Please do NOT double space, just use single spacing)

Regards,

We tried so many different things with no success and no help, that we finally just bought an external hard drive, backed up our needed files, and reinstalled Windows. Probably needed to clean off the computer, anyway. Thanks for you reply.

:woot: :) :yeah: :spoton: :tazz: :tazz: :cool: :cheers: :happy: :prop: :rockon:


Congratulations! ;) your system is CLEAN!

WinXP Reset & All-Clean1

We have a couple of last steps to perform and then you're all set.

First, let's reset your hidden/system files and folders. System files are hidden for a reason and we don't want to have them openly available and susceptible to accidental deletion.* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading UNSELECT Show hidden files and folders.
* CHECK the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.
Next, let's clean your restore points and set a new one:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)1. Turn off System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
[/list]System Restore will now be active again.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
  • IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
You should also have a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:and a good antivirus (these are also free for personal use):It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visitmonthly. And to keep your system clean run these free malware scannersweekly, and be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this article by Tony Klein: So how did I get infected in the first place?
