Spyware Difficulties...

I've been having some nasty little spyware issues and feel like I'm always playing catch-up. I can kill the newest infections, but I can't seem to stop them from coming. I was hoping you could help me clean up my computer and make my life a little easier. I've included both my HJT and ewido logs. Thanks so much!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

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.

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

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.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).

Network Monitor

Close control panel.

Click start/run and type services.msc into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, maximise it. Double click on the following services(if there) and select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

Close the services window.

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

O23 - Service: Command Service (cmdService) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\IA\command.exe (file missing)

Close HJT.

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

Reboot into normal mode and turn system restore back on and rehide your protected OS files.

Post a fresh HJT log and let me know how your system is running.

Howard,

Thank you so much for your quick and helpful response! I followed your instructions exactly, and so far have had no difficulties. The only pitfall I ran into when executing your instructions was that I was unable to uninstall "Network Monitor" in Add or Remove Programs. With the exception of this, everything went smoothly, and unless you say otherwise, I'll assume that my computer is free of spyware. Does the new HJT log confirm this? Thanks again for your help!

Well done, your HJT log is clean.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

Regards Howard :)
