Dear avajo4,

Grisoft the makers of the AVG Anti-Virus, bought ewido networks the makers of ewido anti-spyware 4.0, and renamed the application to AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5.

See the instructions below.
************************

You may want to print out these instructions or save them as a text file with "Notepad" to your desktop because we will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet.
******************************

First download AVG Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.
This is a 30 day trial of the program

• Once you have downloaded AVG Anti-Spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
• Once the setup is complete you will need run ewido and update the definition files.
• On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "Update now" link.
  • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
• Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
• Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
• Under "Reports"
  • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
  • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"

Close AVG Anti-Spyware, Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.

• Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
  IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
• Lauch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
• Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
• ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
  Once the scan is complete do the following:
• If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
• Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
• Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
• Close AVG Anti-Spyware and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the results of the AVG Anti-Spyware report scan.

Restart your computer and then post a new HijackThis log, along with the results of the AVG Anti-Spyware report scan.

In addition, let me know in detail how your computer system is running after performing the above steps.

Dear avajo4,

Just what does the hosts files do? Am I correct in saying that they keep us from going to the "bad" places on the intrernet? Did I block all hosts when I renamed it Xhost? That is what I get from the link you gave me, but don't know if I am reading and understanding correctly.

See the following links as a reference:

Dear avajo4,

(Note: Please read through these instructions a couple of times before executing the steps in this post.)

You may want to print out these instructions or save them as a text file with "Notepad" to your desktop because we will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet.
**************************

• Please download the Killbox by O^E. Unzip it to the desktop but do NOT run it yet.
  
• Then please reboot into Safe Mode by restarting your computer and pressing F8 as your computer is booting up. Then select the Safe Mode option.
  
• Once in Safe Mode, please run Killbox. Put a check mark next to "End Explorer Shell While Killing File".
  
• In the main screen of Pocket KillBox, go to Tools in the top menu bar, and select: Delete Temp Files.
  
• When a box pops up, click the "Deleted Selected Temp Files" button.This may take a while.
  
• When it is done, click the "Exit (Save Settings)" button.
  
• Next, select "Delete on Reboot" button. The "Single File" button will be selected by default.

Please restart your computer and then post a new HijackThis log, along with a new log from the Panda online scan.

ok a new Panda scan coming up

[avajo4]

Rambro,
I could not find them , but some are still here somewhere and it looks like a couple of new ones. Here is the Panda scan


Incident Status Location

Spyware:Cookie/bravenetA Not disinfected C:\!KillBox\cookies.txt[.bravenet.com/]
Spyware:Cookie/Atwola Not disinfected C:\!KillBox\cookies.txt( 1)[.atwola.com/]
Spyware:Cookie/Apmebf Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Vania\Cookies\vania@apmebf[2].txt
Possible Virus. Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Vania\Desktop\everything\internet business classes\Browers\Google Pack Installer.exe
Possible Virus. Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Vania\My Documents\internet business classes\Browers\Google Pack Installer.exe
Is this saying that the google pack installer is bad? Should I uninstall that google pack?
Did I get spyware from Killbox?

Shoot, I thought things were going better

Avajo4

[rambro]

Dear avajo4,

The Panda Online scan log looks good.

1. The "Google Pack Installer.exe" file is a legitimate file so leave alone.

2. Another file their is a cookie and you can remove that via my instructions in post #64 of this thread.

3. The Killbox application makes backups of the files you delete through it. If you want to delete the files in the !killbox directory do the following:

Go to the following directory: C:\!KillBox <-- (Note: Do not delete the "!KillBox" folder, but all the files in the "!Killbox" folder.)

Dear avajo4,

You need to disable your system restore, because if you go back in time with "System Restore", it's possible that you will be infected again. Here is how to do that:

(Note: By disabling "System Restore", all existing restore points will be deleted. However, if these existing restore points contain spyware, then you should follow the rest of these instructions).

To turn off Windows XP System Restore

1. Click the Start button.
2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3. On the System Restore tab, check Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives.
4. Click Apply.
5. A dialog message box should pop up asking you, Do you want to turn off System Restore? Click Yes to do this.
6. Click OK.
7. Restart Windows.

To turn on Windows XP System Restore

Follow the steps in the previous section, but in step 3, uncheck Turn off System Restore or Turn off System Restore on all drives. Then click OK.

See the following link as a reference: http://service1.syma...src=sec_doc_nam

Please restart your computer and then post a new HijackThis log.

In addition, let me know in detail how your computer system is running after performing the above steps.

[rambro]

Dear avajo4,

In my previous post, I had you clear out (remove) your system restore points from your computer. In this post I would like you to create a "restore point". This is how it is done:

To create a restore point:

1. All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore
2. Press Create a restore point and press Next.
3. In the Restore point description box, type a descriptive name to append to the date and time.
4. Press Create.

Let me know in a reply to this post when the "restore point" has been created.

[avajo4]

Rambro, I am still with ya. I have been really busy the last couple of days. i will do this tonight.

Thanks
Avajo

[avajo4]

Hi Rambro,

I have removed the restores and created a new system restore.

sorry for the delay.
