Actually the second link that Howard sent you to has the instructions on how to post a HiJack-This log. HERE

Then start your new posting at TechSpot by clicking on New Thread
(or use Post Reply in an existing thread).
Scroll down until you see a button Manage Attachments. Click on that and a popup-window opens.
Click on the Browse button, find the HijackThis.txt on your PC and doubleclick on it.
Now click on the Upload button in the popup. When done, click on the Close this window button.
Finish your message-text, then click on Submit Message.

Have you tried spybot S&D? This comes with a program called teatimer which will stop treats in real time.

Download the Pocket Killbox programme from HERE. Extract it, but don`t run it yet.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.


Boot into safe mode. See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

ToolBar888
Network Monitor

Close control panel.

Open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key.

Click on the processes tab and end process for(if there).

FireDaemon.exe
winsecure.exe
netmon.exe

Close task manager.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad).Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O8 - Extra context menu item: &MyToolBar Search - res://C:\Program Files\ToolBar888\MyToolBar.dll/MENUSEARCH.HTM

O8 - Extra context menu item: Add to AMV Convert Tool... - C:\Program Files\MP3 Player Utilities 4.00\AMVConverter\grab.html

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or directories(if there).

C:\Program Files\ToolBar888
C:\Program Files\Network Monitor\netmon.exe

Run the killbox.exe file. When it loads type the full path to the file you would like to delete in the field and check the delete file on reboot button. press the Delete File button (looks like a red circle with a white X). It will prompt you to reboot, select no until you have finished inputting the files you want to delete, only then allow it to reboot and hopefully your files will now be deleted.

These are the filepaths you need to enter into killbox.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\c200lcdm1f0a.dll

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\svchost.exe

C:\WINDOWS\security\FireDaemon.exe

C:\WINDOWS\security\winsecure.exe

Once your system has rebooted, turn system restore back on and post a fresh HJT log. See HERE for instructions.

It looks like you have the Look2me infection.

after you get rid of it, to prevent tis return, download either bitdefender 9, for scanning purposes or zone alarm fire wall ffor its firewall, i have bitdefender 9 internet security and the free zone alarm firewall and i have never had a spyware, adware, grayware or any other problem since installing them

 

[ragez0r]
