Can't get rid of Spyware strike [RESOLVED]

I'm afraid I'm in need of some help here. Basically what's happening is the McAfee Virus Scan is indicating that it is deleting Spyware Strike every time I turn on the computer. I followed the instructions as best as I could in regard to Spyware Strike removal. I started with Smitrem. Next, I ran Ad-Aware and it removed 3 negligible items. The scan by Ewido was clean. This was all done in safe mode. I rebooted and ran the Panda Scan. I'll paste this below. As you'll see, there is a dialer that is not being removed. If possible, I was hoping for some assistance. Thanks.

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
Click here: http://www.microsoft...p1/default.mspx
Apply the update, reboot, and post a fresh Hijack This log.

DO NOT update to service pack 2 until we have finished cleaning your computer.

That looks much better. We make sure all users upgrade to service pack 1 to make sure they have a legal copy of windows. Otherwise we can't help them. Glad you got it to work. :tazz:

We need to take a closer look at one of those entries.

Jotti File Submission:
  • Please go to Jotti's malware scan
  • Copy and paste the following file path into the "File to upload & scan"box on the top of the page:
    • C:\WINDOWS\System32\89o9e8ea.exe
  • Click on the submit button
  • Please post the results in your next reply.
Download CWShredder Here to its own folder.

Update CWShredder
  • Open CWShredder and click I AGREE
  • Click Check For Update
  • Close CWShredder
Download smitRem.exe ©noahdfear, and save the file to your desktop.
Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop (in Internet Explorer, right click on Panda ActiveScan link select "Copy Shortcut" then right click on your desktop and select "Paste Shortcut" or in FireFox right-click the link and select "Save Link As" and save it to your desktop).

Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware here:

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Now scan with HJT and place a checkmark next to each of the following items and click FIX CHECKED:

===================================================

Close HiJackThis.

Please navigate to this file and delete it:

C:\Program Files\Security Toolbar\Security Toolbar.dll

Now run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about. Reboot your computer into normal windows.

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.

Run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
  • When it asks 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.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
Close ewido anti-malware.

Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut.
  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button.
  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button.
    • Enter your Country
    • Enter your State/Province
    • Enter your e-mail address and click send
    • Select either Home User or Company
    • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When the download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of smitfiles.txt, the report from Jotti, and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.
Let us know if any problems persist.

MasterJ :)

Here are the results from Jotti in regard to C\windows\system32\89o9e8ea

The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file.

I'll run the other programs and let you know.

The results from cw shredder indicated that coolwebsearch was not found. I am also receiving notice from the McAfee scanner that ExploitMht.redir.gen exists. I don't remember seeing that one in the past. Below are the results from Smitrem, Panda, Ewido. I also added HJT. Thanks for all of your time spent. Its much appreciated.
