Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.


**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
  • Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
  • Close any open browsers.
  • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
NOTE 1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.

  • Close any open browsers.
  • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
  • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
  • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
  • Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.
**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!
 
Hi,

Ran combofix, log attached along with new hijackthis log. I had to copy and paste them to my usb memory stick and post them as I can't get to tech spot forum via my laptop, even with a reboot.

regards

Download the MBR Rootkit Detector: http://www2.gmer.net/mbr/mbr.exe to your desktop.

* Doubleclick mbr.exe and follow prompts (Vista users: right click on mbr.exe and click "Run As Administrator").
* A black DOS window will quickly appear then disappear.
* When mbr.exe is finished it will create a log on your desktop.
* Copy and paste contents of that log (mbr.log) file to your next reply.

Download TDSSKiller and save it to your Desktop.
Extract its contents to your desktop and make sure TDSSKiller.exe (the contents of the zipped file) is on the Desktop itself, not within a folder on the desktop.
Go to Start > Run (Or you can hold down your Windows key and press R) and copy and paste the following into the text field. (make sure you include the quote marks) Then press OK.

"%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -l C:\TDSSKiller.txt -v

If it says "Hidden service detected" DO NOT type anything in. Just press Enter on your keyboard to not do anything to the file.
When it is done, a log file should be created on your C: drive called TDSSKiller.txt please copy and paste the contents of that file here.
 
Hi,

TDSSKiller.txt attached.

thanks

psxnut

P.S. It asked me to reboot.

As you can see from Kaspersky report, downloading bootlegged Windows copies comes with a risk.
Please, delete Windows XP Professional 32-bit en-US - Black Edition v2009.4.19.iso file from C:\Documents and Settings\Dean\My Documents\downloads. Empty Recycle Bin.

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

Verify your Java version here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Update, if necessary.
Uninstall all previous Java versions, through Add\Remove (Programs & Features in Vista).

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

Disable TeaTimer, as it'll interfere with the cleaning process:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
TeaTimer closes.
NOTE. If on re-boot, Spybot inquires about registry change(s), allow it.

Alternatively, I suggest, you uninstall Spybot since it's a tool of the past.

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

Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

Hi,
Sorry for delay coming back 2 you, but I have had trouble getting back to the forum,my browser just kept coming up with error 404 - cant access the website. I had to switch off my router and leave it off for a while, now I can access techspot forum ok, no popups or redirections though.
The only problem I still have which I can't seem to resolve is that when I am logged into hotmail live in the task bar, if I try to access hotmail on explorer 8 it just keep refreshing at the bottom of the browser address, over and over, not actually seeing the page for hotmail, just keeps refreshing. I tried repairing my live essentials and reloading explorer 8 but that didn't resolve it.

Any ideas?

thanks

psxnut
 
It's always a good idea to have another browser installed, so you can see, if your problems are some IE issues, or something else.
I suggest, you install Firefox and see how it goes.
 
Thats really weird firefox has no problem, Ill'e head over to windows problem part of the forum for this one, thanks a huge bunch for your help.

best regards and keep up the great work you do.

psxnut
 
Thought I would just give you an update, after posting the above, I started explorer 8 again and reset it back to my default browser, tried my messenger in toolbar and my hotmail loaded with no problems, even more weird.

thanks again.
