Alrite great, let's begin by uninstalling anything in the Add/Remove Programs list having to do with "QBU"

Next, follow by downloading Ewido Security Suite.

  • Install ewido security suite
  • When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
    • Install background guard
    • Install scan via context menu
  • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
  • The program will now open to the main screen.
  • When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
  • You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
    • On the left hand side of the main screen click Update.
    • Then click on Start Update.
  • The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. The status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-=-= End here to download but not scan -=-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-=-=

  • Click on Scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
  • Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Next, fix the following with HJT:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QkOnBtn] C:\Program Files\QBU\QkOnBtn.EXE
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.westnet.com.au
O20 - Winlogon Notify: WgaLogon - C:\WINDOWS\

After this, reboot into safe mode, and delete the following folder:

C:\Program Files\QBU

Reboot into normal mode again, run HJT, and post a new log here, along with the Ewido scan log.

Thanks.
