I'm not sure what you're trying to say there; can you clarify please?

2. Uninstall the Logitech Desktop Meesenger through your Add/Remove Programs control panel. The LDM program's primary job is to automatically check for online updates for your Logitech devices. Not only do you not need it running, but it really clutters up HijackThis logs, as you can see in your log.

Also uninstall any/all of the following bogus/malicious programs if they exist:

Trust Cleaner
TrustIn Bar
TrustIn Contextual Ads
Trustin Popups
TrustIn Search Assistant
Trust Cleaner Promo

Hotbar Web Tools

Hotbar Outlook Tools
Shopper Reports by Hotbar



3. Your log also has abnormal like breaks in it which make it difficult to read. Please post the contents of your next log by opening the HijackThis.log file in Windows Notepad, choosing "Select all" from the Edit menu, and then "Copy" from the Edit menu. If you paste that content into your posts here, it should format correctly.


You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for much of the following, so you should print out these instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.


4. Open your antivirus program and download/install its most current updates. Don't run a scan with the program yet, though.


5. Download the following utilities and save them to your desktop or another convenient folder:

ATF-Cleaner
ewido Anti-spyware (30-day trial version)

* Install and Configure ewido:
  • Close all other Applications and then run the ewido installer
  • Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait Ewido will open main screen automatically.
  • Wait again a few minutes and Ewido Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
  • It is very important to get the updates
  • When updating has finished, close Ewido.
6. Close all open programs/windows, including web browsers. Run another HijackThis scan, put a check in the boxes to the left of the following entries, and then click the "Fix Checked" button:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [4028202b.exe] D:\WINDOWS\system32\4028202b.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AIP] D:\WINDOWS\aip.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Trust Cleaner] "D:\Programas\Trust Cleaner\Trust Cleaner.exe"

O9 - Extra button: ShopperReports - Compare travel rates - {946B3E9E-E21A-49c8-9F63-900533FAFE15} -

(Check all of the Logitech Desktop Messenger entries if they still exist!)
