Running Windows XP sp2

Things are sort of under control, (I think), but I believe I have PS Guard remenants and something that appears to be masquerading as Windows security, there are 3 entries in my start menu, Set Program Access and Defaults (the one that may be legit), Securty Troubleshooting, and Online Security Center. I'm also getting the flashing exclamation point telling me I have pop ups and I'm getting pop ups for a search2k.net. My homepage is back to Google.

Ran Trend Housecall and it found several instances of JAVA_BYTEVER.A and TROJ_DHIJACH.A but could not remove.

I know just enough about these kinds of problems to be a danger to myself and my computer.

Hijak This log below. (I've tried to remove the BHO, but it keeps coming back).

Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Download and install CleanUp! Here*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups.

4. Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

5. Open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.

6. Now open and run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • During the scan when it ask if you want to clean the first file, put a check in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections" then choose clean and click OK

  • Save the report to your desktop
Close Ewido

7. Next go to Control Panel click appearance and themes>click Display > Desktop Tab> click Customize Desktop > Web tab > Uncheck anthing in there if present.

8. Run the program CleanUp!

9. Reboot into normal mode and please run this online virus scan: ActiveScan - Save the results from the scan!
