SpySheriff infection..
 

Hey guys,

welll, last Friday, I left my PC on all day , idle. I come back later that night, and I am infested with SpySheriff. I have not been able to get rid of it . I have done system restore, but 1 or 2 restarts later, it returns. I have scanned with Hijackthis, and have delete C:\winstall.exe

my background currently reads:

SYSTEM STOPPED
System has been stopped due to a serious malfunction
Spyware activity has been detected

it is recommended ot use spyware removal tool to prvent data loss
do not use computer before all spyware is removed.

here is my log:

Re: SpySheriff infection..
 

This is one of the most annoying infections yet. It took me almost 30 minutes to remove.

Here is the easiest way to remove it. What you will need:

Antivirus (norton, or Mcaffe)
MS antispyware
Adaware
HijackThis.

First, the most crucial part of this is to stop the service running the spyware. To do this, click the start menu, click RUN. type in services.msc this is the service manager for windows. There shoudl be one service there called svchost.exe. Right click on it and select properties. Stop the service, and from the drop down menu select disable.

This stops the spyware from reappearing after reboot etc.

Next Run Ad-aware and MS antispyware. whatever they find, remove it. After both scans are done, run the softwares agian to make sure. Once thats done, run your anti-virus, and remove all viruses it finds.

Open up hijackthis and take a look through the listings. Now i dont exactly remember what listings are the ones you remove, there were almost a dozen when i went thru it. Your best bet is to post the hijackthis log here for people to look at it.

Delete this file also: c:\windows\desktop.html

that should get rid of that pesky desktop.

also look through those links above, they are useful (wish i looked at them before i went gunho on the spyware)
