I sure hope someone out there can help me! I've been at this for 2 days. The first notice I had of a problem was the AIM Bestfriends virus. This, I believe, has been removed, but something is wrong with IE. If I go to the Tools setting and go to my computer it has a "High" security rating, which I can't change. (It looks like it's changing, but just immediately goes back to High. I've run spy bot, ad aware, Norton and Jay Loden's software, but can't adjust this security rating. Would someone please, please, please help me??

Hi dwall

Please set your system to show all files; see here for how to do this if you're unsure.

Please print out this instruction sheet

Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager.
Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

C:\WINDOWS.000\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe
C:\WINDOWS.000\system32\ddao36.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished

Close all programs down, leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ddao36] C:\WINDOWS.000\system32\ddao36.exe
O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS.000\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS.000\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.jayloden.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.windowsupdate.com

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: see here if you don't know how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS.000\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe <--Delete this whole folder
C:\WINDOWS.000\system32\ddao36.exe<--Delete this file
C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe<--Delete this file

Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look.

Hi dwall

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN :tazz:

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use). Click Here
QUOTE
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox user posted image.
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats. :thumbsup:

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my logs. I really appreciate it!! I think I've gotten rid of most of the stuff that was wrong, but am still having problems adjusting the security settings on any docs that are in folders on the computer. I'm not even able to move them off to another device. Any ideas?
