I've followed through the steps in the thread "Fixes for specific infections" including case #6. It looked like it had been all cleared in safe mode, however when I came back to normal mode and connected to the internet, all of them appeared again!

I just bought the computer today and got it infected right away... so sad.. Here are my logs anyway. Help me out please. Thanks guys. I am on XP Pro.

This keeps and expands on the useful pointers already posted by while focusing on the likely reason your symptoms (clean in Safe Mode, back again once online) keep happening and what to do next.

The symptom you describe usually means a persistent autostart component (service/driver/scheduler) is still present and re-creates the browser hooks when the machine gets online. Stop using the PC for anything sensitive and do the cleanup offline: running a remover once while connected can let the loader reinstall itself the next time the machine goes on the net.

A concise practical workflow to follow now:

  1. Immediately disconnect the PC from the internet and do not use it for banking or email.
  2. From a known-clean computer, download up-to-date removal tools and a bootable rescue image onto removable media. Use current, reputable scanners (second‑opinion tools and a rescue disk) rather than random cleaners.
  3. Boot the infected machine into Safe Mode (no networking) and run the dedicated removers (as @crunchie recommended), then run a full scan with an updated anti‑malware engine. Save the logs.
  4. Use Autoruns or msconfig (or Process Explorer) to look for unknown startup entries, drivers or services and disable them; inspect Scheduled Tasks and recent files in the Windows and System folders. Disable System Restore before removal so old restore points don’t reintroduce the infection.
  5. Reboot to normal, run a fresh full scan, and only reconnect when the machine is clean. After cleanup, apply all Windows and browser updates and change passwords from a clean device.

If the infection persists after those steps, a bootable rescue scan or a full OS reinstall is often the fastest way to ensure the machine is clean—especially for a newly purchased PC that became infected immediately. Post new HijackThis + full-scanner logs (saved after you follow the offline workflow) so helpers can target whatever autostart mechanism remains.

Download CWShredder 2.15 from here. Run it and press the *fix,* not scan and allow it to clean the infection. Close all browser and explorer windows before hitting the fix button.

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

Download AboutBuster 5:


Once downloaded, unzip it, and put the folder on your desktop. Then double-click on the AboutBuster icon to start the program.

Click Update. This will start updating AboutBuster with the latest definition database.

Once it's done updating and you see that dialog, click Ok.

Close AboutBuster.

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions

Start AboutBuster and click Begin Removal.

When the scan is done, click Ok.


Run Ewido, and do a full scan. During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK.

Save the logfile from the scan. Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.
