1. Update your Java version here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Note 1: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

Note 2: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. If you don't want to run another extra service, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and restart your computer.

2. Now, we need to remove old Java version and its remnants...

Download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it.

• Run JavaRa.exe (Vista users! Right click on JavaRa.exe, click Run As Administrator), pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
• Accept any prompts.
• Do NOT post JavaRa log.

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

We have couple of registry keys missing.

Following steps involve registry editing. Please create new restore point before proceeding!!!
How to:
XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948247
Vista and Seven - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...tore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/

Download Vista.zip file from here: http://www.smartestcomputing.us.com/files/download/9-registry-network-keys/
Unzip the file.
You'll find several files inside.
Double click on bits.reg file and confirm the prompt.
Double click on bfe.reg file and confirm the prompt.
Double click on mpssvc.reg file and confirm the prompt.
Restart computer.
Post new FSS log.

 

[M_Squared]

I will be on the road for the next few hours, but will log back in and start your set of newest instructions when I get to my destination. Thanks again for all your help and will start working on this soon!

 

[Broni]

Sure thing

 

[M_Squared]

okay, back in action...new fss log:

Right click on downloaded file, click "Run As Administrator".
Restart computer and post new FSS log.

 

[M_Squared]

Is that for Win7 and Vista?

 

[Broni]

Same for both.

ay ay ay...okay, should I have MSE disabled before I do all this?

 

[Broni]

No.

 

[M_Squared]

Okay I did all the steps. Do you want another FSS log? I didn't notice any further instructions so I am not sure what to post for you.

 

[Broni]

Yes please.

[Broni]

Is everything working OK now including a firewall?

 

[M_Squared]

Windows firewall is now turned on. Yay! I kept MSE and did not reinstall Total Defense because I did not like it. I only installed it because it was a gift. Is MSE an appropriate replacement in your opinion? Windows defender is still turned off and when I try to turn it on I get this error message:
Windows Defender has encountered an error 0x800705b4. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

 

[Broni]

MSE is perfectly fine.
Windows Defender is totally useless so it's better to keep it OFF.

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

Your computer is clean

1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

:OTL
:Commands
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[emptyjava]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
• Post resulting log.

2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

Clean up with OTL:

• Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
• Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
• On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
• Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

4. If any trojans, rootkits or bootkits were listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

10. (Windows XP only) Run defrag at your convenience.

11. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.

12. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

13. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.

Is there an uninstall option for SecurityCheck and TFC or do I just right-click and delete them? I am out of town for the next day or two, but I will use my laptop through the weekend and post how things are going.

 

[M_Squared]

Oh, I just saw that TFC should stay installed.

 

[Broni]

Security Check can be simply deleted.

 

[Broni]

The issue seems to be resolved.
