PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

Hi pinkbee, welcome to DaniWeb :)

You have quite a few "unwanted guests" listed in your hijackThis log. Please perform the following general cleaning procedures; they should clean up most, if not, of the infections:

You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for the following, so you should print out these instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.

(It is suggested that you uninstall the Wild Tangent and WeatherBug programs using your Add/Remove Programs control panel)


1. Download and install these utilities (but do not run scans with them yet):

ewido Security Suite (trial version) - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Ad Aware SE Personal - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/

- Open ewido. In the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process completes, exit from Ewido.

- Open MS Antispyware beta. Make sure the "AntiSpyware Autoupdater" feature is enabled, and that it has downloaded the most current antispyware updates. Close the program after you've verified this.

- Open SpyBot and use its update feature to download and install the most current spyware definitions file. Close the program once the update is complete.

- Open AdAware, click the "Check for updates now" button, and follow the prompts to install the most current spyware definition database. Close the program once the update is complete.

- Open McAfee and use its Update feature to make sure that you have the most current virus definitions installed. As with the above programs, don't run a scan with it yet; just close it once it is updated.


3. Download and install the CCleaner utility, but don't run it yet.


4. Run HijackTHis again, put a check mark next to the following entries, and then click the "Fix checked" button. Close HJT once it has finished performing its fixes:

5. Reboot into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).


6. Run CleanUP! It may take a while for the program to perform its cleaning, so be patient. Close the program when it has finished.


7. Run McAfee, SpyBot, ewido, AdAware, and MS Antispyware beta consecutively; have the programs fix all malicious items they find.

When ewido finds the first malicious object on your system, it will ask you if it should clean it. When it asks this, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.
Save the log file that ewido will create after it finishes scanning; you'll be including that log in your next post here.


8. Open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- Locate and delete the following files (some of these should already have been deleted by the removal utilities):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\search.html
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\sywsvcs.exe
C:\Program Files\WildTangent
C:\WINDOWS\WT

- Delete the following folder entirely:

C:\WINDOWS\inet20099


9. Empty your Recycle Bin, reboot normally, run HijackThis again, and post the new log. Also post the log that ewido generated.
