I got attacked by the nasty spy sheriff last night and was very thankful to find this forum. I followed the instructions and seem to have had luck removing the obvious problems. I cannot find anything that seems abnormal, but I wanted to have someone look at my hijackthis log to confirm. Here it is...

Trevuren,

I atempted to follow your directions, however I forgot to save the logs from the different scans that were performed. When running the AboutBuster, I received a message after it was done that said "Run-time error '339': component 'comctl32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

Here is my new HijackThis log. Please take a look and let me know what next step we should take.

Thanks for your help.

Your log looks good but I suspect that there is more junk lurking in your system. We had better check it all out:

I need you to download MWav to a convenient location.

This scan might take around 3+ hours to finish when set to scan everything.
I need you to run MWav by double-clicking on mwav.exe. This scan only produces a report, it doesn't clean your system. I will analyze the report and recommend a course of action depending on the results.

Put a check next to the below items before scanning:

• Memory
• Startup Folders
• Drive - All Local Drives
• Folder - then click "browse" to change the directory to C: (default is C:\Windows)
• Registry
• System Folders
• Services
• Include Sub-Directory
• Scan All Files

Please make sure ALL of these are checked, then press the Scan button. This typically will take hours to complete.

**NOTE*** Sometimes MWav will pause and it appears to be finished, but it isn't done. Just let it run until it says it's complete.

On the bottom portion of the window, you will see the lower panel where MWav is listing "infected items", please highlight everything in that lower panel and copy them by holding CTRL + C then paste it here. The whole log will be extremely BIG so there is no way to post the log. I just need the infected items list.

Regards,

Trevuren
