I mistakenly downloaded a peice of software that was full of bad things like win Anti Virus earlier today. Once i realised this i ran SuperAntiSpyware which seemed to get rid of most of the problems but now when i load up internet explorer i get the message that 'action was cancelled' and at the bottom i can see the name of a process come up for a split second that definitely contains the word system32 but i cant make out the rest as it only appears for a very short time. this leads me to beleive that it is being redirected by something bad that is still there. I can go to other web pages by typing in the address bar and they work but after a few minutes i always get the message 'Page cannot be displayed'this means i effectively can't use the internet and is really hurting me as i have exams on monday and the internet is vital to my work please can someone help! Here is my hijack this log:

Brief expert summary and next steps (builds on ’s Malwarebytes/HJT work)

The pattern described by — Malwarebytes quarantining system DLLs and run-keys and HijackThis showing a missing/empty BHO, plus a short-lived “system32” process name followed by browser redirection and intermittent “Page cannot be displayed” — is exactly the sort of behaviour caused by three persistence/redirection vectors: a poisoned hosts file or proxy, corrupted Winsock/LSP hooks, or leftover autostart/BHO/AppInit DLLs that keep reattaching to IE. The hosts file is consulted very early in name resolution, so it’s a common redirection vector. (support.microsoft.com)

Practical triage (commands to run from an elevated Command Prompt, then restart)

netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
sfc /scannow
netstat -ano | find "LISTENING"

Run those (netsh requires a reboot to complete). netsh winsock reset clears Winsock/LSP tampering that malware often uses; sfc /scannow will attempt to restore protected system files if they were replaced. Use netstat (and tasklist /FI "PID eq <pid>") to map suspicious network activity back to a process before killing it. (learn.microsoft.com)

Persistence cleanup and verification

Use Sysinternals Autoruns to find and remove any remaining startup entries, AppInit DLLs, BHOs and Winlogon notify DLLs (it shows more locations than msconfig or HijackThis). Then use Process Explorer plus the netstat checks to identify any process that opens remote connections or repeatedly spawns. After Autoruns cleanup and full rescans (Safe Mode with Networking is helpful), purge old System Restore points (malware commonly hides copies there) and create a fresh restore point. (learn.microsoft.com)

Notes and cautions

Make registry/backups before edits and be cautious deleting items that look system-signed. If intermittent redirection persists after the above, either the infection has a kernel/rootkit component or a hidden scheduled task/service — in that case back up important data and consider an image-based clean reinstall. Autoruns/Process Explorer are powerful; they make it easy to find the offending entries that simple scanners miss.

Thank you so much for helping me!

Thank you so much for helping me!

No worries :).
Your log is clean, but there are a couple of things I would like you to do.
Once you have done them, post back and let me know how your pc is.

==

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.


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

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


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Software icon > add/remove programs.
  • Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment.... )
  • Select it and click Remove.
  • Then Download and install the newest version from here:
  • http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
