Im not sure if i did it right because it didnt seem to work, but here are the logs to show you =)
the popups have nerly gone, ive only had one or two yesterday and none today so far
thanks
 
Yes. I having the same problem now. (PLEASE HELP ME)

But just wondering, did you already go to "ad/remove programs" and search for "CiD" or any programs with "SPONSOR" in the title (IE "MSN Pluse! Sponsor)? If you find it and remove it, it could be a quick fix for you. For me, it didnt work, but it couldnt have hurt, right?
 
i already did that lol it didnt work bt it cud of helped
tho wat ive been told to do from this thread so far theres def been something thats worked cause they are rarely any popups anymore
 
sorry that was my fault I messed up on the code put whats below into OTMoveIt2

Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SoftLand Ltd
 
With malwarebytes is easy to remove it but first need a log from HJK..I had this virus too 2 times and i removed it with malwarebytes..
 
yeah i havnt had any popups since the HJK was downloaded and i was told what ones to take away :) but i duno if that means the virus is fully gone =/
 
open hijackthis and place a check next to the item below

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)

Now just to make sure run the online scan below.

TrendMicro™ HouseCall Java Scan
  • Please go HERE to run the Trend Micro™ HouseCall Scan.
  • Click Scan now. It's free!
  • Read and put a Check next to Yes I accept the terms of use.
  • Click the Launching HouseCall>> button.
  • Under Using Java-based HouseCall kernel click the Starting HouseCall>> button.
  • You may receive a Security Warning about the TrendMicro Java applet, click YES.
  • Under Scan complete computer for malware, grayware, and vulnerabilities click the Next>> button.
  • Please be patient while it installs, updates, and scans your system.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will take you to the summary page.
  • Under Cleanup options, choose clean all detected infections automatically.
  • Click the Clean now>> button.
  • If anything was found you may be prompted to run the scan again, you can just close the browser window.
 
i ran the scan, and it found a few things and i cleaned them and it ran the scan again and no results came up so i thought that meant there was nothing found again after it was removed.
Anything else i have to do?

thank you so much by the way, youve been a lifesaver!
 
OK looks good how is your computer running

OTCleanit! by Oldtimer

  • Download OTCleanIt
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
    (It will go thorugh the list & remove all of the tools it finds and then delete itself) Requiring a reboot

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

Now we need to create a new System Restore point.

Click Start Menu > Run > type (or copy and paste)

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Next goto Start Menu > Run > type

cleanmgr

Click OK, Disk Cleanup will open and start calculating the amount of space that can be freed, Once thats finished it will open the Disk Cleanup options screen, click the More Options tab then click Clean up on the system restore area and choose Yes at the confirmation window which will remove all the restore points except the one we just created.

To close Disk Cleanup and remove the Temporary Internet Files detected in the initial scan click OK then choose Yes on the confirmation window.

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

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
  1. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
  2. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
  3. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
  4. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
  5. IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
  6. ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
  7. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
  8. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
  9. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
