I've had spyware and crap on my computer for over a year, but it never really bothered me as it was fairly minor. A month or two ago it started getting much worse, and now Winfixer 2005 has installed itself and is horrific. Winfixer starts doing crap to my computer as soon as I start up, and it has it's little icon on the bottom of the screen. It slows down my computer tremendously and I have a hard time doing anything. Note that I am EXTREMELY stupid about computer terms and basically know nothing about computers. Also, I'll say in advance that I don't have a printer. I apologize in advance if I've done anything wrong. I need help badly. Here's my HijackThis log:

Hello,

It is really important you perform everything I am asking you, because this is with a reason.

Go to start > controlpanel > Software > add/remove programs and uninstall next:

Istbar
BullsEye Network
MEDIA ACCESS
WEB_REBATES
WINFIXER 2005

Reboot afterwards

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware:
http://www.lavasoft....pport/download/

After installing AAW, and before running the program.
Please be sure to update the reference file following the instructions here:
http://www.lavahelp.net/howto/updref/

Reconfigure Ad-Aware for Full Scan:

Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.

Click the 'Scanning' button.

Click 'Click here to select Drives + folders' and select your installed hard drives.

Under Memory & Registry, select all options.
Click the 'Advanced' button.
Under 'Log-file detail level', select all options.
Click the 'Tweaks' button.

Under 'Scanning Engine', select the following:
'Unload recognized processes during scanning.'

Click on 'Proceed' to save these Preferences.

Run the Ad-Aware scan and allow it to remove everything it finds and then REBOOT to allow it to finish.

* Download DelDomains.inf and save it to your desktop.
Rightclick on it and choose 'install'.

Post a new hijacktislog.

Well, I've had a few issues, but the worst of it is gone.

First, I must admit that I got a bit impatient yesterday morning waiting for a reply and I really needed Winfixer off of my computer, so I decided to delete what I found to be obviously harmful stuff off of HijackThis. I deleted stuff that had Winfixer 2005, WebRebates, Bullseye Network, slotch.com, and xxxtoolbar if I remember correctly. I hope this doesn't matter.

I tried to remove BullsEye Network, WEB_REBATES, and WINFIXER 2005, but it said they didn't exist (I guess because I had already deleted them?). I couldn't find MYWAY or Istbar. So, the only ones I removed were ISTsvc and Media Access, although Media Access asked me a few questions trying to get me to keep it.

I did everything else you told me to do. I'll note that the first two times I used Ad-Aware it froze up on the "Deleting Selections" part and wouldn't delete the junk. For some reason, it worked the third time.

I'm still having a few problems, but most of it is gone. Thank you very, very much for the help you've provided so far. Here's the updated HijackThis log:

Hello, let's deal with the rest now..

It's better to print out the next instructions or save it in notepad, because you also have to work in safe mode without networking support, so this page wouldn't be available then.
It is also important you don't miss a step and perform everything in the right order!!

* Download and install CCleaner
Do not use it yet.

* Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

* Start HijackThis, close all open windows leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following:

* Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

* Reboot into Safe Mode`: ( without networking support !)
°To get into the Safe mode as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key". Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.


* Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them if still present:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IRH.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\PADI <== folder
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FBJA.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\RARU <== folder
C:\WINDOWS\nkpel.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\winupd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\xxpxiu.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Hdj.exe
C:\RJATYD.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\E6F1873B.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\D9EBC318C
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\D0CE0C16B1
C:\WINDOWS\pxckdla.exe

* Still in safe mode Start Ccleaner
click "Options", click the "Advanced" tab
Uncheck: "Only delete files older than 48 hrs.", click Ok
Click "Cleaner" and click Run Cleaner (bottom right)

* Reboot your system back to normal mode.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and I'll take another look.

And I see a clean log.. Well done!

Perform a full scan with an updated Adaware SE and/or Spybot S&D to get rid of the leftovers.
If you don't have those programs yet, you can find the downloadlocations in my sig.

To keep this clean in the future, I would suggest the following things:

Most important thing here --- Visit asap http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to download and install all the updates and security patches!!

Install Spywareblaster
SpywareBlaster doesn`t scan and clean for so-called spyware, but prevents it from being installed in the first place. It blocks the popular spyware ActiveX controls, and also prevents the installation of any of them via a webpage.

Avoid illegal sites, because that's where most malware is present.

Let your antispywarescanner(s) scan frequently and don't forget to update before.

And I do suggest you perform an online virusscan once in a while. (Housecall and/or Bitdefender). Because what one virusscanner can't find another one maybe can.
Also make sure that your virusscanner, the one that is installed on your system is always up to date!

Make sure your windows has the latest updates: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

If you are having XP SP2, read here how to configure Security Features for Internet Explorer:
http://www.microsoft...xp/iesecxp.mspx

More info on how to prevent malware you can also find here (By Tony Klein)

Happy surfing again!
