Click on File(in the menu at the top)>Save as../Save as Type: 'All Files' /File name: fix.bat to your desktop.
Then double click on the fix.bat file on your desktop
You'll see a black screen flash,thats normal.

@echo off
sc stop SymWSC
sc delete SymWSC
==.

Can you please do the following.


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

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: ads_optimizer - {9C8A568E-4201-478a-8536-526CF371D2E2} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsw37C.dll


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsw37C.dll

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
