• You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.

  • Then click on Start Update.
• The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

ewido manual updates

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware from HERE (if you already have Ad-Aware installed, make sure that it is the latest version 1.0.6 and always go online and update it before you run it).

If it's NOT the version 1.0.6, can you then uninstall your current version/delete folder: C:\Program Files\Lavasoft & empty recycle bin. Finally install the latest version.

1. Launch Ad-Aware SE and run the WebUpdate feature. (Click on the Globe icon, Click "connect", Click "OK", Click "Finish".)

IF you are having problems with the updating, get the manual updates here; http://download.lava...public/defs.zip

Exit Ad-Aware for now, we'll run it later.

Download SpyBot S&D, Click Here.

When on the site, the download should start automatically. Save it to disk. When downloaded.. Take these precautions before installing the program:

IF you have an older version of SpyBot installed, please do the following first:

1. Undo immunization
2. If SDHelper and TeaTimer are enabled, deactivate them first.
3. If Opera Browser is installed, de-select protection for Opera Immunity
4. Uninstall old version of Spybot S&D
5. Reboot

Then install the SpyBot S&D. (Do NOT install TeaTimer at this time.)

When installed, launch the program. Go to the "Mode"- menu, and select "Advanced Mode". Hit yes if it gives you an warning. Next, click "Settings". Go to -> "Settings". Look for the following and once found, check the box next to "Display Available Beta-versions". Then click to "Search For Updates". Check every update, and install those updates. Next, click on "Immunize". Hit "Immunize" again. Exit the program.. We'll run it later.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Launch Ad-Aware...

2. Set up the Configurations as follows:

• Click the Gear wheel at the top of the Ad-Aware window
  
• Click General > Safety & Settings: Check (Green) all three.
  
• Click Tweak > Cleaning Engine > UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion".

3. Click on "Proceed"
4. Click on "Scan Now"
5. Deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
6. Select "Search for low-risk threats"
7. Run the scanner using the Full Scan (Perform full system scan) mode.
8. When the scan has completed, select Next.
9. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab.
10. Check the box next to every "target family" for removal.
11. Click "Next", Click "OK".

Now launch SpyBot.. Go to -> Settings. Then choose to go to "Ignore Products". DEselect (Uncheck) EVERY each of the objects in the list.

Next run the scan. Remove ALL the objects found in RED color.

Exit SpyBot..

Now open Ewido and do a scan of your system.

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• Clean anything it finds.
• 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.

Close Ewido.

Now run the CleanUp program:

*IMPORTANT NOTE*
CleanUp deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders, it does not make backups.
If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, please make a backup of these before running CleanUp

Running CleanUp

• Start CleanUp by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
• When CleanUp starts go to the Options button (right side of CleanUp screen)
• Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
• Now place a checkmark next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
  • Delete Cookies
    This is optional, if you leave the box checked it will remove all of your cookies, at this point removing cookies is a good idea
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Cleanup! All Users
• Click OK
• Then click on the CleanUp button. This will take a short while, let it do its thing.
• When asked to reboot system select No
• Close CleanUp

Finally reboot into normal mode and post me the Ewido log along with a fresh HiJackThis log.

IF you have an older version of SpyBot installed, please do the following first:

1. Undo immunization
2. If SDHelper and TeaTimer are enabled, deactivate them first.
3. If Opera Browser is installed, de-select protection for Opera Immunity
4. Uninstall old version of Spybot S&D
5. Reboot

Then install the SpyBot S&D. (Do NOT install TeaTimer at this time.)

When installed, launch the program. Go to the "Mode"- menu, and select "Advanced Mode". Hit yes if it gives you an warning. Next, click "Settings". Go to -> "Settings". Look for the following and once found, check the box next to "Display Available Beta-versions". Then click to "Search For Updates". Check every update, and install those updates. Next, click on "Immunize". Hit "Immunize" again. Exit the program.. We'll run it later.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Launch Ad-Aware...

2. Set up the Configurations as follows:

• Click the Gear wheel at the top of the Ad-Aware window
  
• Click General > Safety & Settings: Check (Green) all three.
  
• Click Tweak > Cleaning Engine > UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion".

3. Click on "Proceed"
4. Click on "Scan Now"
5. Deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
6. Select "Search for low-risk threats"
7. Run the scanner using the Full Scan (Perform full system scan) mode.
8. When the scan has completed, select Next.
9. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab.
10. Check the box next to every "target family" for removal.
11. Click "Next", Click "OK".

Now launch SpyBot.. Go to -> Settings. Then choose to go to "Ignore Products". DEselect (Uncheck) EVERY each of the objects in the list.

Next run the scan. Remove ALL the objects found in RED color.

Exit SpyBot..

Now open Ewido and do a scan of your system.

• Click on scanner
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• Clean anything it finds.
• 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.

Close Ewido.

Now run the CleanUp program:

*IMPORTANT NOTE*
CleanUp deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders, it does not make backups.
If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, please make a backup of these before running CleanUp

Running CleanUp

• Start CleanUp by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
• When CleanUp starts go to the Options button (right side of CleanUp screen)
• Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
• Now place a checkmark next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
  • Delete Cookies
    This is optional, if you leave the box checked it will remove all of your cookies, at this point removing cookies is a good idea
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Cleanup! All Users
• Click OK
• Then click on the CleanUp button. This will take a short while, let it do its thing.
• When asked to reboot system select No
• Close CleanUp

Finally reboot into normal mode and post me the Ewido log along with a fresh HiJackThis log.
