Hello!
I've removed spysherrif from mystem, but I still have problems with the display settings and the net settings. I can't change my background or my home page. I've been scanning the different forums and have not been able to pinpoint what I need to do. I've done a HJT log, about 15 minutes ago. Please, please, PLEASE advise, the system is quite a shambles at this time. Thanks in advance for all assistance.

All done. I had to leave for a while, but I've followed the instructions and cleaned, anti-virused and did all that I could/should do. Please advise, as I'd like to get this *pooey* off of my computer!!! Thanks!

Here's my log.

You have quite a few nasties going on here at the same time. We must start by ridding your system of an infection called CWS About:Buster.

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

• Prepare CWShredder for use:
  • Download CWShredder.
  • Save CWShredder.exe to a convenient location.
  • Please do not do anything with it yet.
• Prepare AboutBuster for use:
  • Download AboutBuster.
  • Unzip the contents of AboutBuster.zip and an AboutBuster directory will be created.
  • Navigate to the AboutBuster directory and double-click on AboutBuster.exe.
  • Click "OK" at the prompt with instructions.
  • Click "Update" and then "Check For Update" to begin the update process.
  • If any updates exist please download them by clicking "Download Update".
  • You should not run the program yet so click "Exit".

Boot into Safe Mode:
Restart your computer and immediately begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear. Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter.
To return to normal mode just restart your computer as you normally would.

• Run CWShredder:
  • Double-click on CWShredder.exe.
  • Click "Fix ->" and click "OK" at the prompt.
  • CWShredder will scan and clean your system of CWS files.
  • Click "Next->" and then "Exit".
• Run AboutBuster and save the logs:
  • Browse to where you saved AboutBuster and run AboutBuster.exe.
  • Click "OK" at the directions Read: Important! prompt.
  • Click "Start" and then "OK" to allow AboutBuster to scan for Alternate Data Streams.
  • Click "Yes" at the About:Buster prompt to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
  • Please wait while AboutBuster scans your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
  • When it has finished, click "Save Log...". Make sure you save it as I will need a copy of it.
  • Click "Exit" and "Exit" again to exit AboutBuster.
• Clean out temporary files:
  • Start | Run | type cleanmgr | OK
  • Let it scan your system for files to remove.
  • Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
  • Click "OK" to remove them.
  • Click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.
• Restart your computer normally to return to normal mode.
• Free TrendMicro Housecall scan:
  • Vist the TrendMicro Housecall website.
  • Select your country from the drop-down list and click "Go".
  • Choose "Yes" at the ActiveX Security Warning prompt.
  • Please wait while the Housecall engine is updated.
  • Select the drives to be scanned by placing a check in their respective boxes.
  • Check the "Auto Clean" box.
  • Click "SCAN" in order to begin scanning your system.
  • Please be patient while Housecall scans your system for malicious files.
  • If not auto-cleaned, remove anything it finds.
  • Click "Close" to exit the Housecall scanner.
  • Choose "Yes" at the HouseCall message prompt.
• Prepare your reply:
  • Please post a fresh HijackThis log
  • Please post the AboutBuster log.
  • Please note any complications you had.

Regards,

Trevuren

Will do, thanks!

...i keep trying to download adbuster, but after the downloand i get a prompt saying "corrupt database" and "download again"

[Trevuren]

I have attached a copy that should work:

See attachment: About:Buster[attachment=5224:attachment]

[KFA]

Thanks!

[KFA]

...still the same problem... is my machine "blocking" this?

[Trevuren]

I just aw that the format has been changed so it may not be your computer, just my faulty instructions:

Try this instead:


1. Download AboutBuster.Zip to your Desktop

2. Right click in any open space on your desktop

• From the menu that appears, choose NEW>>Folder
• Name the new folder About Buster

3. Doubleclick the AboutBuster.zip file on your desktop to open the file:

• From the main ZIP toolbar, choose "Extract"
• A window will apppear. Make sure that the "All Files/Folders in archive" option is selected.
• Choose the newly-created AboutBuster folder on your desktop as the destination.

4. Open the About Buster folder

• Double-click on AboutBuster.exe file.
• Now, click on "Update"
• Do Not Run the Program Yet

Later in the fix, when it talks about running About Buster

• Open the AboutBuster folder
• Double-click on the AboutBuster.exe file
• Then click on "Begin Removal"

Trevuren
