Download Killbox
Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. For each of the following files below, check the box that says 'Unregister .dll Before Deleting' if it's not grayed out. Copy and paste each of the following into KillBox (hitting the X button for each file - choose YES when it asks if you want to reboot) Click Yes at the 'Pending Operations prompt'. if you see it:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\DESKTOP\Remove Spyware.url

* If you received a message such as: "PendingFileRenameOperations registry data has been removed by external process", you have to restart Windows manually .

* If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run TheKillbox, download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try Killbox again.


Congratulations Your Log is Clean!!:grin:

Preventative Measures

This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. Read How Did I Get Infected In The First Place?.

Also Consider...

• 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:

• Sygate Personal Firewall
  
• Kerio Personal Firewall
  
• ZoneAlarm

How is she running now? Any further problems? If not, Good work, and Happy Computing!

Please reply once more so we know you have read these measures.
