I downloaded and installed the fixwareout program, but when i go to run the program I get this message....

"Download is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Unzip: cannot find either bfu.zip or bfu.zip.zip
BFU.exe was not present, unpacked or in the proper location.
Please make sure you have a working internet connection to download BFU.exe, and restart the batch. Press any key to continue..."


Also upon the initial attempt to start the program...by pressing a button. I get this warning from my AVG Virus Guard...

"VIRUS DETECTED! While opening C:\Fixwarout\Sub\download.exe"
Trojan Horse Downloader.Delf.CS"

Did I do something wrong with the program? I've searched for a BFU.exe file, and cannot find one..?

Thank you in advance for your time

Hi hellifiknow,

I am very sorry to not mention that you must have an active Internet connection when running this fix, in order to download the Brute Force Uninstaller (BFU) from Merijn's page. I'm sorry about that.

About the virus warning, you can just turn off your Antivirus Guard while you run the fix (it is not a virus so just let it run).

[hellifiknow]

Hi Emilita,

Thanks for the response although, I have yet to actually get the automatic download to work, I am on a cable connection and still unable to get the file to auto download, so this is what I did. I looked up the Merijn Page, and found the BFU.exe file, and downloaded it...When I ran that file it asked which script to run, and I assumed it meant the "XP-2k2.bfu" file in the fixwareout/sub folder, so I ran that script with BFU and that seemed to work.

Heres the fixwareout log, I'll just copy and paste the whole thing:

Hi hellifiknow,
Well done on making the tool worked.

* Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit.
* Save it to your desktop.
* Run Killbox.exe.
* Select "Delete on Reboot".
* Copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting both of them then press CTRL + C

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMFNQ.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\Help\SPAlert.chm

* Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".
(Make sure that no other files are being pasted)
* Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

I see you already have Ewido, if you can still get update for it please download updates and scan your system with Ewido in Safe Mode.
Then post the Ewido log as well as the new Hijackthis log please. Also give me updates of how your pc is going thanks.

[hellifiknow]

Hi Emilita,

Thanks Em, Oh and just to let you know I haven't seen the pop up now for a while, so maybe we got em 

Hi hellifiknow,
Your Hijackthis log looks clean!
You did a good job

To help protect your computer in the future I recommend 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.

You have Ewido Suite and AVG there, you don't really need both to protect you, you can just keep one and keep it updated.

It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft.
To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

Regularly running your AdAware and Spybot and make sure you check for updates and download updates before scanning.
AdAware
Spybot Search & Destroy

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
So how did I get infected in the first place?
and Spyware Aid's spyware article:
Spyware, Adware, Malware:
What it is, how it got on my computer, how to get rid of it, and how to prevent it.

Happy computing!

Happy Computing to you as well
