Hello there,

I'm pretty much at my wits end with this piece of garbage spyware, as it seems I've tried everything. Spybot, Microsodt, and Ad-Aware don't seem to be able to find it. AVG doesn't find a virus on the system. I've deleted the file (and other that seem to spawn after it, like cool.exe for example) in safe mode dozen of times. Here's what it is doing:

Start-up the computer
A dialog box pops up and says "For Your Instant Access Please Click Yes".
After closing the box, AVG will pop up and detect a few viruses, which I Delete.
This spyware also disables the use of the Task Manager and I think Active Desktop as well.

Thanks for ANY help anyone can give me in removing this!

Here is my HJT Log:

Hello Coldfusion

I have had a look at your log and I can see the probable cause of your problem, however the last time you posted and I replied to it, you did not contact me afterwards and the post was eventually closed due to lack of feedback. That was May 2005, so excuse me for not writing the fix at this stage.

Please confirm that you will co-operate.

Hello there Crusty

Since posting this problem I have done a Windows update and downloaded and installed Ewido. Ewido has seemed to remedy the private.exe and cool.exe as they no longer start at start up, Task Manager is no longer disabled, and I don't get a dialog box upon log on. I deleted both files in safe mode, among a few others, like s.exe. I am going to post a new HJT and hopefully you can tell me if you see anything that has fallen through the cracks. Thank you for your time and speedy respone! :tazz:

Congratulations! your new log is clean. :tazz: Just a little bit more to do to prevent further infection.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programmes changing them. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected.)

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)
1. Turn off System Restore.
    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    Click Properties.
    Click the System Restore tab.
    Check Turn off System Restore.
    Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    Click Properties.
    Click the System Restore tab.
    UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
    Click Apply, and then click OK.

I recommend going to the following link and update as recommended by Microsoft. This adds more security and extra features including a pop-up blocker for Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update

Now that everything is fixed, I suggest that you consider getting these programmes to help keep the computer clean:

SPYWARE BLASTER - Blocks bad ActiveX items from installing on your computer.
MICROSOFT ANTISPYWARE - With daily updates and scans, this programme offers good security against malware.
AD-AWARE PERSONAL – A fine free malware detector and removal programme
SPYBOT S&D – Excellent free spyware detector and removal programme
GOOGLE TOOLBAR - Blocks many unwanted pop-ups in Internet Explorer.
FIREFOX - Safer alternative to the Internet Explorer web browser.
AVG ANTIVIRUS FREE EDITION - Free antivirus programme if you currently are not using one.
ZONEALARM - Free firewall programme if you currently are not using one (Windows XP has a built-in firewall).

Remember to update these frequently.

Please note that whilst there is nothing wrong in having more than one antispyware programmes for “on demand” scanning, having two or more antivirus systems is not recommended as they may well cause conflicts and slowness.

You may also want to read "How did I get infected in the first place" to learn how to better secure your computer.

Be sure to keep your Windows, antispyware and antivirus updated. :)

I wish you happy safe surfing!

Excellent. Thanks again for the follow-up and link to Spyware Blaster. I've never heard of it before, but going to give it a try! Thanks!
