This thread shows a typical persistent browser/startup infection and the right instincts from and to start with scanners. Add a short, layered cleanup plan so the removal is thorough and the machine stays usable afterwards.

  • Isolate and back up: unplug the PC from the network, then copy only personal documents and mail stores to external media. Scan those backup files from a known-clean machine before restoring them.
  • Layered scanning: run a full-system scan with one updated on-demand scanner in normal mode, then reboot to Safe Mode and run a second (different) updated scanner and a rootkit check. Use tools that list and let you disable autorun/startup entries rather than blindly deleting items.
  • Manual inspection: use an autorun/startup viewer and a process inspector to identify unknown services, scheduled tasks and browser helper objects. Export any registry keys or make a disk image before you edit or delete anything. Check the Hosts file and browser settings (home/search pages, security zones) and reset them if altered.
  • If it will not come clean: image personal data, then reinstall the OS (clean install) — this is the most reliable way to eliminate persistence. After reinstall, restore only scanned backups.

Final steps and cautions: after removal or reinstall, fully patch the OS and applications, enable the firewall, install real‑time protection, and create a non‑admin daily account. Change all online passwords only from a clean device. When posting followups here, include a fresh system-startup listing (autoruns output), a current process list and the scanner logs you ran — that gives helpers what they need without re-running steps.

Close all browsers and click Fix Checked

There are still more infections, but we are going to let the scanners take them out.

Download the Free trial version of Spysweeper

&rc=4129&ac=tsg

Update the defintions and run it, let it remove whatever it finds.

Then download ewido
www.ewido.net - Install. Update. Scan. Remove anything it finds.


Please post a new HJT log, the ewido log, and the spysweeper log.

Hoping that the scanners take most of em' out before we start to do things manually...

Spysweeper should grab the Look2Me infection, although by the log the user already has it and Ewido installed, but dont forget these

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.media-motor.net
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.

Well, should Spysweeper fail, which it might have since Im sure the user has run it before, this should take it out.

Please download Look2Me-Destroyer.exeto your desktop.
--Close all windows before continuing.
--Double-click Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to run it.
--Put a check next to Run this program as a task.
--You will receive a message saying Look2Me-Destroyer will close and re-open in
approximately 10 seconds. Click OK
--When Look2Me-Destroyer re-opens, click the Scan for L2M button, your desktop icons will
disappear, this is normal.
--Once it's done scanning, click the Remove L2M button.
--You will receive a Done Scanning message, click OK.
--When completed, you will receive this message: Done removing infected files!
--Look2Me-Destroyer will now shutdown your computer, click OK.
--Your computer will then shutdown.
--Turn your computer back on.
--Please post the contents of C:\Look2Me-Destroyer.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

-Thanks Demented for posting that ^ in another thread, save me a bit of typing :)

Thanks so much to everyone! Here's the new HijackThis log:
