Hi,
I am having a dreadful time with a pop-up from WinFixer 2005 which has taken over my computer !
Multiple windows keep opening even if I click on cancel, it tried to run a scan and I close that window too, unfortunately after all this it freezes up my computer and I must turn off the power and then on again to reboot
All this despite having Norton 2006 installed and running

This is a copy of my Hijackthis log and I am hoping you can help

Hi Excal,
I am very happy to say all is running smoothly thanks to you
This episode has made me very wary, I don't know where that dratted problem came from and would just hate to get it again.
I am also of a mind to write to Norton and complain, I hate purchasing goods that don't do what they are supposed to do !
Is there any way to prevent this happening again ?
I am now also running SpywareBlaster, will this help prevent it coming back ?

This is my latest log from Hijackthis

I am now hoping my computer is clean

Great job, it appears your computer is clean

Ensure you rehide your “hidden files and folders” back to the way they were.

Now that your system is Malware Free, it is important to reset your system Restore. Click Here to learn how to.

I recommend that you Defrag your computer before setting your Restore points:

Go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Defragmentor Make sure it set to the proper drive (default should be your main driver) and click on defragment


Might I suggest the following Free Spyware programs, if you don't already have them, for added security, you can download them at the following links. These programs work great for detection:

Ad-aware SE
Spybot S&D
Microsoft Anti-Spyware


If you are unhappy with your current antivirus and want to replace it or if you dont already have one, I suggest one of these free programs:
*Note - do not use more than one anti-virus program as it will more than likely cause conflict.

AVG
Avast
AntiVir


The following free programs are great for prevention:

SpywareBlaster 3.4
Spywareguard
IE/Spyad

A Firewall is a must! Here are 3 good free versions:
(do not have more than one firewall running on your system)

Sygate
Kerio
ZoneLabs

There are other options other than Internet Explorer for a browser, which some say have better security. Two of them are:

Firefox
Opera

If you decide to keep Internet Explorer, This site is a great source for tightening up security on It's settings.

Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program:

Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided. Also read So how did I get infected in the first place?
