About a month ago I had a 699 sexsearch & realsearch.cc "virus" and I got rid of it. Now the sex icon is on my desktop again. I ran Hijackthis and will post my log. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi crazygurl31

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

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

C:\WINDOWS\System32\tmpf01.exe
C:\Program Files\WebSiteViewer\127051.dlr

Exit the Task Manager when finished

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\System32\tmpf01.exe
C:\Program Files\WebSiteViewer\127051.dlr

Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

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

I downloaded and ran pserv 2.4 but I didn't see mszx23.exe on the list. What should I do next?
