1. What antivirus program and what firewall are you running?

2. How is your system performing now, malware wise?


Regards

Trevuren

[eliteknightz]

I'm always running Microsoft Antispyware and occasionally Ewido now and then. I have Windows Firewall on.

I think my computer is fine now. Thanks a lot

[Trevuren]

You should be running a dedicated "always on" type antivirus program and a firewall. Suggestions for excellent free programs of this nature can be found either in my signature block or in the final link to this post.

Congratulations, your log shows that your SYSTEM IS CLEAN

There are a few things you must do once you are completely clean:

1. We need to make sure all hidden files are no longer showing so please:[/b]

• Open My Computer.
  
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  
• Select the View Tab.
  
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading deselect Show hidden files and folders.
  
• Check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  
• Click Yes to confirm.
  
• Click OK.
  
• Click Start, Programs and Accessories
  
• Open Windows Explorer.
  
• Select the hard drive from the left hand side of the Windows Explorer window.
  
• De-Select View the Entire contents of this drive

2. Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files from the backup that Windows makes as no program is able to clean those files:

TO DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE

• Right-click "My Computer", and then left click "Properties".
• Left click on "System Restore Tab"
• Check box beside "Turn Off System Restore"
• Left click on "Apply"

TO ENABLE SYSTEM RESTORE

• Remove check mark from "Turn Off System Restore"
• Click on "Apply"

3.Preventitive measures:

Please read and follow the following advice by TonyKlein on how to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:

How Did I Get Infected in the First Place
