I will get to all of this, however, I already downloaded all this stuff and ran the scans because that is what the site asked me to do before I could post anything. Does this pose a problem or can I kick to safe mode and rerun the schedules with your directions?

[tampabelle]

The programs that we tell you to run before posting in the Malware Removal forum are all good programs. They try and remove a lot of infections. They do not do harm to your PC.

So please proceed with the fix fearlessly

[jnhumpherys]

Alright, sorry for the delay. Here is the new EWIDO log and HJT log:

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on nailfix.exe.
Click "Next" in the setup, then make sure "Run Nailfix" is checked and click "Finish".
Your desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

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


Delete the file - C:\WINDOWS\system32\rowfhd.exe - if found.

Now open ewido and do a scan of your system.

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• You will be prompted to clean the first infection.

• Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
• Click Save report.
• Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Finally, restart your computer back into Normal Mode and please post a new HJT log, as well as the ewido report log from the Ewido scan by using Add Reply
