Winzix adware
k im stupid and i installed winzix before i knew it was a stupid adware. After i unistalled, i (obviously) still get random pop-ups with 3 iexplorer.exe processes are appearing on task manager. Everytime i tried to end the iexplorer.exe, 2 of them just comes back while the other one is the real one. Im a noob in computing and i really need help for removing the stupid pop-ups...

i think normal procedure is follow the 8 steps and wait for some one to look at the 3 logs,
www .techspot.com/vb/topic58138.html << 8 steps in other words try to follow all of those steps and come back with the malwarebytes log and the supper antispyware one. if your having problems there are people on this board who can help . |

Your HijackThis log indicates you have a LOP malware infection.
But there is also indication of the use of the AQW Hacking Toolbar, used to pirate software. We an help with the Lop infection but: Quote:

lol that took a while
@vexon13 Thank you for being so remindful to new members like me!! ![]() @bobbye thank you for your patience and nice altitude, however aqw hacking toolbar is just a toolbar that lets you go to game forums faster, like cheatengine.org, where people post cheats, walkthroughs and glitches in swf games. It is absolutely NOT crack/warez and have completely NOTHING TO DO with piracy. You can check and prove it on my 3 new logs. (i uninstalled the toolbar before the logs were made and hope that im in your favour and get more support...) anywayz here are my 3 new logs. im sorry if i've made any offense to you but i really didnt mean to. Alternatively, in control panel -> add/remove programs, i've found this thing called Cid help, which came with the winzix. So should i remove it by using add/remove programs or should i do something else? sorry double post... forgot to attach logs Last edited by kimsland; 04-22-2009 at 09:35 PM..

Looks like you´ve got rid of AQW Hacking Toolbar.
We have a special fix tool to remove LOP/CID infections, I´ll therefore suggest we use it ![]() Download http://eric.71.mespages.googlepages.com/LopSD.exe by Eric_71 and save it to your desktop. Double-click LopSD.exe Choose the language by typing of the corresponding letter and press Enter Click OK at the informative window Type 2 to choose Option 2 (Fix + Hosts), then press Enter Wait until the end of the scan have finished A report will be generated, attach the contents of it in your next reply. |

i've installed LopSD to my desktop. i've double-clicked the icon and clicked on 'run' in the security thing however, the cmd-like window gets a blue screen and immediately shuts...nothing more happens EDIT: the words 'please wait...' appears in the middle of the screen before it closes itself |

That´s odd
![]() Let´s try this scanner -> Please Download NoLop to your desktop: http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/NoLop.exe First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot Double click NoLop.exe to run it Now click the button labelled "Search and Destroy" <<your computer will now be scanned for infected files>> When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK Now click the "REBOOT" Button. A Message should popup from NoLop. If not, double click the program again and it will finish Please attach the contents of C:\NoLop.log along with a fresh HijackThis log --If you receive an error, "mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies are not correctly registered," please download http://www.boletrice.com/downloads/mscomctl.ocx to your system32 folder then rerun the program. |

touch, Lop is still on board as seen below:

Download Lop S&D by Eric_71 and save it to your desktop. Disable your antivirus and anti-malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of Lop S&D. You can usually do this via a right click on the System Tray icon.
Maybe the images will help. Last edited by Bobbye; 04-22-2009 at 02:56 PM.. Reason: images |

i double clicked on lopSD and click 'run' on the security thing. the blue screen comes up and says please wait... then it closes and nothing more happens however, this time i was just able to see a line saying something about: " 'find'............." before it closes (this message appears really fast just before lopSD closes itself) By the way, as mentioned earlier Quote:

Force the BSOD if you have to and check the time on the computer clock. The logs are time-coded so you will be looking for Errors occurring at the same time. I had hoped that maybe the images might help with the Lop program. Quote:
Touch, do you think it's worth tryng another Lop program? IF so, how about this? Download FindLop HEREand save to the desktop. Quote:
Copy the content of that file and paste it into your reply to this thread. Also, copy the part in bold below into notepad and save it as direxie.bat Set File type to "All files" Quote:
That will open a file called directory.txt. Post the content of that file. Please do a right click> Delete on the 2 setup files for the previous Lop programs. Quote:
To remove CiD Help, go to Start–>Settings–>Control Panel–> Add and Remove Programs, then select CiD Help, click remove. Please wait to see if Touch agrees to this before running. Last edited by Bobbye; 04-22-2009 at 11:09 PM.. Reason: Add image |

@Bobbye
Unforunately, my system shows all the information from event viewer in chinese, including event logs. ![]() I'm cannot understand the chinese words nor able to translate them into english. So do you think there are any chances of skip this step? |

It´s not easy to understand Chinese, and it almost impossible to pronounce it
![]() Please download http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger2/download.php by Swandog46 to your Desktop. Click on Avenger.zip to open the file Extract avenger2.exe to your desktop Start Avenger Quote:
Click Execute The Avenger will automatically do the following: It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Delete", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.) On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal. After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt Attach C:\avenger.txt in next reply, along with fresh hijackthis log and tell how things are running now ? |

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\License Ford Hope Draw C:\Documents and Settings\Zihao\Application Data\Defaultwaitremote C:\Documents and Settings\Zihao\Application Data\Utorrent Reboot, attach new hijacktis log and tell how thing are running |

i'm not able to delete the folder: License Ford Hope Draw
