Please help me. I have perused through other threads on this virus and cannot seem to get rid of my problem. I have started to delete only some of the items. In regular or safe mode I am unable to delete param32.dll
I will attach my log from HiJackThis. I wont be able to thank you enough and neither will my 13 year old son!

matrcox,

Hi! and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

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

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

Elite Sidebar

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

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

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 EliteSideBar 08.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.

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

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:\Documents and Settings\Tammy Cox\Application Data\othb.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 and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed 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:\WINDOWS\EliteSideBar

files...

C:\Documents and Settings\Tammy Cox\Application Data\othb.exe
C:\windows\system32\elitemwb32.exe

-

Note that some of these file(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 your PC, post back a new log and let me know how everything goes.

Please do not double post too :).

Just adding to this since you mentioned not being able to delete param32.dll...

Turn off System Restore

Get the Pocket Killbox from here:
http://bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip

Unzip the file to your desktop.

Go offline until this is completed.

Run Pocket Killbox and paste the full file path of the below file in the box and click on Standard File Kill and End Explorer Shell While Killing File. Click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle after you enter the file path.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\param32.dll

Reboot afterwards if the file was successfully deleted.

If the file was not deleted, do not reboot yet. Run Pocket Killbox again, and again paste the full file path into the box, but this time click on Delete on Reboot. Click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle; you will get a message saying File will be deleted on next reboot, Process and Reboot now? Click Yes to reboot.

Have hijackthis fix this line as well:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.newgenlook.info/ad/ad0271/

Turn System Restore back on.

Thankyou crunchie and dlh6213 that seems to have taken care of it. No more red circle with white x and all visible files seem tobe gone. Only have a few popups now. How do I get these to stop? I have attached another log just to see if there is any that I missed. Again thankyou thankyou thankyou. :) :mrgreen:

Glad we could help :) Just a bit more to do now.

Scan with hijackthis and have it fix the following entries:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://us8l.hpwis.com
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [checkrun] C:\windows\system32\elitemwb32.exe
O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://us8l.hpwis.com

Then go to C:\windows\system32 and delete elitemwb32.exe

As a precaution, get CWShredder from:
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/CWShredder.exe

Open CWShredder, click on Check for updates, and after it's finished updating, click on Fix.

For every User listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (not the folders themselves):

Local Settings\Temp
Cookies
History
Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Delete the entire contents of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

Delete the entire contents of your C:\Temp folder (if you have one).

Do a search for *.tmp and delete all entries found.

(Note: if any of these temporary files cannot be deleted while in ‘normal mode,’ try Safe Mode.

In addition to SpywareBlaster that Crunchie recommended earlier, you should get:
Ad-Aware SE (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=pop)
Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10289035.html?tag=pop)

Keep them all updated, along with your anti-virus program, and run them frequently (about once a week).

And finally, avoid adult-oriented sites and file-sharing (aka P2P) :)
