First, you need to be sure your system is set to 'Show hidden files and folders.' Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, and then Folder Options; when the Folder Options window opens, click on the View tab. You should find these entries in the list under Advanced settings:
Select Show hidden files and folders
Deselect (uncheck) Hide protected operating system files.
If you're getting any popup messages, don't click on them, not even the 'X' to close them; either right-click and select Close, or use Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and End Task.
Download CleanUp from here:
http://www.stevengould.org/downloads.../CleanUp40.exe
Install it, but don't run it yet.
Download LQfix.exe from one of the following locations:
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/LQfix.exe
http://miekiemoes.geekstogo.com/tools/LQfix.exe
Install it, but do NOT run it yet (you will need to boot into Safe Mode first).
Installation and running notes --
Reboot into Safe Mode and run LQfix.bat.
When it's finished (after your system reboots), scan with HijackThis, and have it fix the following entries:
Note: This first entry should have elite followed by three letters and the number 32 -- and the second entry should have pokapoka followed by two numbers as in these examples:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [checkrun] C:\windows\system32\eliterdj32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [checkrun] E:\windows\system32\elitecla32.exe
And
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System service62] C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka62.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System service76] C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka76.exe
Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.
With HijackThis still open, click on the Config... button in the lower right corner of the main window. In the next window, click on the Misc Tools button at the top, and then click the Delete a file on reboot... button. Copy and paste (the elite entry from your log, similar to this) -- C:\windows\system32\eliterdj32.exe into the box, and click Open. A new window will pop up asking if you want to restart your computer now; click Yes and boot into Safe Mode again.
Repeat the 'delete on reboot' instructions for C:\WINDOWS\etb\pokapoka62.exe, again rebooting into Safe Mode.
Then go to the following locations and delete the highlighted file and folder (if present):
C:\windows\system32\eliterdj32.exe (again, whatever elite file showed in your log)
C:\WINDOWS\etb
Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot normally.
Now run CleanUp!; click the Options... button and then move the Quick Setup slider to the Thorough Cleanup position. If you have any bookmarks, Uncheck the option Delete Favorites/Bookmarks. Click OK to return to the main window and click CleanUp! to start cleaning. When it's finished, click Close, and then No (to avoid logging off).
Close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a log in the Virus forum.
Select Show hidden files and folders
Deselect (uncheck) Hide protected operating system files.
If you're getting any popup messages, don't click on them, not even the 'X' to close them; either right-click and select Close, or use Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and End Task.
Download CleanUp from here:
http://www.stevengould.org/downloads.../CleanUp40.exe

Download LQfix.exe from one of the following locations:
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/LQfix.exe
http://miekiemoes.geekstogo.com/tools/LQfix.exe
Install it, but do NOT run it yet (you will need to boot into Safe Mode first).
Installation and running notes --
- To install, double-click LQfix.exe and click Next, then Next, and then Install.
When you run it: - Leave the default settings, if you change them, the fix will Fail!
- You will need an active internet connection, so make sure your you're not blocking any connection now.
- Make sure the "Launch LQfix" box is checked.
- Click the Finish button to start the fix.
- Follow the on-screen prompts.
- Your system will reboot afterwards.
- Please be patient after the reboot, there is a script running in the background that needs to complete.
Reboot into Safe Mode and run LQfix.bat.
