Are you still overclocking? This isn't a malware problem. Go to Internet Options> Programs tab> Click on 'Reset Web Settings.'
 
I uninstalled Prime95 a few days ago and I don't intend to reinstall it. If that's what you mean by overclocking then I guess I'm not.

In post #16, you said, "And there will most likely be Registry entries related to the Adware.PurityScan I need to remove, so please download ComboFix from Here and save to your Desktop". As we discussed before, I was never able to run Combofix becasue I always got a BSOD during the scan. How do I tell if there are registry items that still need to be removed?

I followed your suggestions for getting IR running, and it worked. Therefore, I was able to finally run the ESET scan. It said it found one threat. Do I need to remove it somehow since I unchecked "Remove found threats"? If so, how do I do that? Here's the ESET log:

I ran the OTM. It asked me to reboot. After it rebooted, I got a Microsoft Windows error message that said "The system has recovered from a serious error." It listed the following error signature:

BCCode : 24 BCP1 : 001902FE BCP2 : BA4EB254 BCP3 : BA4EAF50
BCP4 : 88782B12 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1

It also said that the following files were included in the error report:

C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERdf08.dir00\sysdata.xml

In the previous post I posted the OTM log and some other info. Also, the combofix finally ran this time with out a BSOD. That's the first time it's completed successfully. Here's the log:

Should I be concerned about the error in post #31? Also, do post #31 and 32 look like all the viruseseses are gone?

thanks
 
OTMovIt appears to have run successfully. Unless you continue to experience unexplained crahes, I wouldn't be concerned. Combofix look good- no sign of anything there. I'd like you to run HijackThis just to make sure there are no bad entries left:

Download the HijackThis Installer and save to the desktop:
  1. Double-click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
  2. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
  3. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
  4. Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  5. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
  6. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  7. Come back here to this thread and paste (Ctrl+V) the log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

If the HJT logs is okay, I'll have to remove the ceaning tools. If you have any of the original problems, now would be the time to let me know- but you shouldn't!.

I did all of the above. However, when I type in services,msc, I get a message saying that windows can't find services,msc. I looked in startup and services under msconfig and I don't see anyhting labeled "Viewpoint". I don't know if that's the smae thing, though.

Out of curiosity, why did we delete the R1 registry setting above? Was that something that was added by a virus?

Thanks for the help.
 
Please accept my apology- I put in a comma instead of a period. First time I've done that.

The correct command (which I am going to fix in my reply) should have been services.msc

I had you remove the R1 HJT entry because of the port listed:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:50370

Yes, it was for the redirect. If you do a search for the port number, you will find this is common in the redirects.

Regarding Viewpoint: Here the full removal:
This program is not malware but it is foistware in that it is usually installed without the user's knowledge or approval, and for this reason I recommend you remove it. If you actually use this program, I recommend you try using safe and free alternatives such as VLC Media Player: To can have HJT remove the Service entry, then when HijackThis has finished, you can continue with the Viewpoint removal.

To remove, find and remove Viewpoint Media Player

Boot into Safe Mode
  • Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
  • Select the Safe Mode option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
  • Click on Start > Run and type: services.msc> OK
  • Click the "Extended tab".
  • Scroll down the list and find the service called "Viewpoint Manager Service"
  • When you find the service, double-click on it.
  • In the Properties Window > General Tab that opens, click the "Stop" button.
  • From the drop-down menu next to "Startup Type", click on "Disabled".
  • Now click "Apply", then "OK" and close any open windows.
  • Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs
  • Highlight and remove all references to Viewpoint - i.e. Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player.

Finally, delete the following folders if they still exist: Open Windows Explorer> Programs:
C:\Program Files\ViewManager\ <-- and delete this folder
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\ <-- and delete this folder
Exit Explorer.
 
Thanks for the info. I did everything you listed, and I could not find any more Viewpoint listings anywhere, including under services.msc, both in and out of safe mode.

Should I remove all of the antivirus programs that you asked me to download?

Thanks.
 
You're welcome. Viewpoint isn't malware. We object to it because it is put on the systenen without your knowledge or permission. It's called foistware.'

You're welcome. Here's are some tips for you:

Tips for added security and safer browsing:
Note: Some of these prgrams may not work on Windows 7 or a 64bit OS.
  1. Browser Security Settings: Custom is fine if the user did the settings. Mine are Custom. Default is okay too, but sometimes too restrictive.
    This Tutorial will help guide you through Configuring Security Settings, Managing Active X Controls and other safety features: Make Internet Explorer safer.
  2. Have layered Security:
    • Antivirus Software(only one):Both of the following programs are free and known to be good:
      [o]Avira Free
      [o]Avast Home
    • Firewall (only one): Use bi-directional firewall. Both of the following programs are free and known to be good:
      [o]Comodo
      [o]Zone Alarm
    • Antispyware: I recommend all of the following:
      [o]Spywareblaster: SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX. It places kill bits to stop bad Active X controls from being installed. Remember to update it regularly.
    [o]Download ZonedOut and save to your desktop. this replaces IE/Spyad and manages the Zones in Internet explorer. This places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
    For IE7 and IE8, Windows 2000 thru Vista. No Windows 7 yet.
    IE/Spyad is not longer being supported. If you have this on your system, you should replace it with the following program. Make sure your IE8 is Up-to-date before adding sites to your restricted zone.
    Known issue: If you have "immunized" your computer with Spybot Search and Destroy, and use ZonedOut to "Remove All" restricted sites - ZonedOut will remove your trusted sites as well. Note that if you remove Spybot Search and Destroys Immunization the problem goes away...
    [o]MVPS Hosts files This replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
    [o]Google Toolbar Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
  3. Stay current on updates:
    [o] Visit the Microsoft Download Sitefrequently. You should get All updates marked Critical and the current SP updates.
    [o]Visit this Adobe Reader site often and make sure you have the most current update. Uninstall any earlier updates as they are vulnerabilities.
    [o]Check this site .Java Updates Stay current as most updates are for security. Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs.
  4. Reset Cookies to prevent Tracking Cookies:
    [o]For Internet Explorer: Internet Options (through Tools or Control Panel) Privacy tab> Advanced button> check 'override automatic Cookie handling'> check 'accept first party Cookies'> check 'Block third party Cookies'> check 'allow per session Cookies'> Apply> OK.
    [o]For Firefox: Tools> Options> Privacy> Cookies> check ‘accept Cookies from Sites’> Uncheck 'accept third party Cookies'> Set Keep until 'they expire'. This will allow you to keep Cookies for registered sites and prevent or remove others. (Note: for Firefox v3.5, after Privacy click on 'use custom settings for History.')
    I suggest using the following two add-on for Firefox. They will prevent the Tracking Cookies that come from ads and banners and other sources:
    AdBlock Plus
    Easy List
  5. Do regular Maintenance
    Remove Temporary Internet Files regularly:
    [o]ATF Cleaner by Atribune
    OR
    [o]TFC
    Disable and Enable System Restore:
    [o]See System Restore Guide This will help you understand what this is, why you need to clean and set restore points and what information is in them.
  6. Practice Safe Email Handling
    [o] Don't open email from anyone you don't know.
    [o] Don't open Attachments in the email. Safe to your desktop and scan for viruses using a right click
    [o] Don't leave your personal email address on the internet. Have a separate email account at one of the free web-based emails like Yahoo.
