Counterspy is also another of the best programs. Both need to be purchased to retain the real-time protection.
===============
When we're done cleaning off your system, I'd recommend that you install all the critical windows updates available from Microsoft, up to service pack 1. This will help to make your system more secure and prevent many 'problems' from reoccurring in the future.
===============
Now, let's open a command prompt by going to the start menu and then select 'Run'.
In the box that pops up type in 'cmd'. The command prompt will open.
OR
You can go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:
regsvr32 /u cxtpls.dll
It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save typing them in.
===============
Let's look for, and delete, any program segments(prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from this system. To do this, let's:
1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:
ijxaaz.exe*
2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.
Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.
===============
Run HiJackThis then:
1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"
-
Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:
c:\windows\system32\ijxaaz.exe
Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.
===============
Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed (including Internet Explorer) except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".
===============
Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:
folders...
C:\Program Files\Aprps
C:\Program Files\VVSN
files...
c:\windows\system32\ijxaaz.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Meruoq.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Zzkhcea.exe
-
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 ".
-
Reboot.
===============
To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:
Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster . If you've installed it for the first time:
1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.
-
Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.
===============
After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.
