Windows Explorer Problem/Virus

Expand Post »
Help Please! My computer is infested with something that, is stopping my desktop shortcuts not to work (when I double-click on them they become transparrent and are added to the clipboard). It is causing Internet Explorer to not work, whenever it is directed to a webpage it does not open and instead of showing the content displays a download/save prompt, also the address bar is missing. It is causing my task bar not to show my quick launch toolbar, It is causing my start menu to not show any programs (including help, run .etc)., When I try to access add/remove programs, no programs show...when I try to re-install internet explorer, it says the "newest version message." Windows media player will not play music, Norton anti-virus shows a white screen whenever opened, and many programs do not work properly, no shortcuts open but files folders, and explorer windows open

Re: Windows Explorer Problem/Virus

Go
Here
and Get Trojan-Hunter Fully working trial! and run a full scan
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Please delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select delete all offline content.

Do a virus scan here.
If you get report of files that can’t be cleaned / deleted please write down the filenames and locations and post that in your reply.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Download then unzip and run CWShredder to clean up clicking "FIX" to have it remove all it finds.

CWShredder available from these places :-


http://www.aluriasoftware.com/tools/cwshredder.zip
Or this as a full download without any unzipping required
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/CWShredder.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe

We have found that some of the CWS infections can be removed better from safe mode, rather than normal mode.
To get to safe mode use the F8 key while booting the machine. Detailed instructions from :-
HERE
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Then please do this since it’s better to use automated tools to get rid of the bad stuff use these 2 programs first before doing the final cleaning with HJT

First use Spybot S&D. (Version 1.3)
Spybot
Unzip, and update. Install the updates and run. Delete all that it marks in red.
Reboot

Then it’s time for Ad-Aware
Ad-Aware
Install and update by using the globe icon. Restart your computer and run Ad-Aware.
Press scan now and select drives and/or partitions to be scanned. When done select all and click next. Remove all checked items and then reboot your computer.

Please go to this page and read the instructions for how to configure Spybot S&D & Ad-Aware
How To Setup Spybot SD and Ad-Aware



Then post a HJT log as a reply to this topic.
