okay so i have been having all these crazy pop ups, from IE (not my main browser, i use firefox) but Firefox as well. Every time i click, or open the browser i get all these search, hornymatches, etc. pop ups. I downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and it says it found and removed the Vaundo thing and trojans. And about 5 minutes later, i get pop ups again. That program doesnt work for me. It also slows the computer down alot, and closes applications randomly, with no warning.

im running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3

Please help, im going crazy.

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

Download HijackThis Executable from here. Save it to your desktop.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and then go to the format Tab and make sure that wordwrap is unchecked. Copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

If you read my last post you would see that I also requested to see the MBAM log too, Please post it in your next reply.

==

Can you please do the following.

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

Programs like SUPERAntiSpyware, may interfere with the following fix, so we need to temporarily disable it.

  • Right-click on the SUPERAntiSpyware icon in the system tray.
  • Choose View Control Center... "Preferences/options" button/tab.
  • On the General and Startup...tab, uncheck, "Start SUPERAntiSpyware when Windows starts"
  • click Close to exit.

Don't forget to enable your SUPERAntiSpyware protection, when your computer is clean.

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

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Viewpoint Manager,Viewpoint Media Player,Viewpoint Toolbar

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

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

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

Log looks good. Let us know if things change.

I will. thank you so much!! i know it would have cost me a grip to bring it somewhere. Yall are the besttt

No worries.

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Download CCleaner and install, then run it. It will clear out your temp folders.

  1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
  2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
  3. Close when finished.

====

An alternative to Ccleaner is ATF Cleaner.
Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main choose:
Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Cookies
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache

*The other boxes are optional*
Then click the Empty Selected button.

Firefox:
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Opera:
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

====

Use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera, which in my opinion, is better still.

====

Use a firewall. It is an essential part of your computers security. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

====

Install and keep updated,
Spybot S&D.
Run it on a regular basis, following the maker's recommendations.

====

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

====

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.

=====

For XP users.
After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
To flush the XP system Restore Points.

Go to Start | Run and type msconfig and press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

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

Please mark this thread as solved if all is well.

If you have any more problems, post back.
