Quick note for : the symptoms in your HijackThis log match the Zlob/fake‑codec family — it commonly arrives as a bogus video/ActiveX codec and then drops rogue security tools or additional downloaders. That explains the browser hijack/extra BHOs and the persistent startup items. See a vendor writeup for background. F‑Secure: Trojan‑Downloader:W32/Zlob. (f-secure.com)

Good work, — your HJT cleaning and Smitfraud steps are a solid start. Next, assume persistence until proven otherwise: back up irreplaceable files to an external drive (do not reconnect that drive to other machines until it’s clean). Run an offline, pre‑boot scan (a Rescue Disk) to find things that hide when Windows runs, then follow with up‑to‑date on‑disk scanners (use well‑known tools and update signatures before each scan). Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a good option for an offline pass. Kaspersky Rescue Disk instructions. (support.kaspersky.com)

After removing files, explicitly check DNS/hosts/proxy persistence — Zlob variants and related rogueware have been known to alter the hosts file or proxy/DNS so browsers still redirect to bad pages even after file cleanup. Reset the hosts file to default and verify LAN/proxy settings in Internet Options if anything looks wrong. Microsoft documents how to restore hosts and how to fix proxy settings. How to reset the Hosts file. (support.microsoft.com)

Final cautions: do not reuse the same machine to change banking or email passwords until you can prove it’s clean — use a known‑good device. Once cleaned, change all important passwords and enable MFA, watch financial accounts for several months, and if you ever feel uncertain consider a full OS reinstall from known media. Practical post‑cleanup guidance is available from university/incident pages. (safecomputing.mst.edu)

If after these steps symptoms persist (redirects, new startup items, blocked scanners) collect updated logs/HJT and post them; include results from an offline scan so removal can be validated.

Ok lets get started.
Run HJT and put a checkmark next to each of the following.
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

The following are optional it will make your computer faster if you check these.

O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: Image Transfer.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

Now click fix checked.
Now for the next step. Download Smitfraud fix from . Now extract it to your desktop and then double click the smitfraudfix.cmd file. Press any key to continue and then press 1 and enter to scan your computer. When it is done it makes a log we will need that for later.

You might want to print out the rest of the instructions because the require you to go into safe mode and internet cannot be used in safe mode.


Please download and install (Now called AVG)

  • Close all other Applications Select language click Ok
  • Click I Agree
  • Click next
  • Click Install
  • Click Finish
  • Wait Ewido will open main screen automatically.
  • Wait again a few minutes and Ewido Should Auto update itself. If it doesn't click update at top of screen.
  • This in very important to get updates
  • When updating has finished. Close Ewido.

If you have an "always on" connection to the internet, physically disconnect that connection until you are finished with Safe Mode and have rebooted back into normal mode.

  • Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear use arrow up to highlight
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
  • For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: HERE

    You MUST manage to get into Safe Mode for the fix to work.

Make sure to close all open windows/programs/folders. Have nothing else open while ewido performs its scan!

  • Open Ewido
  • Click on scanner top of Ewido sceen
  • Click on Settings
  • Under How to Act click on Recommended Action choose Quarantine
  • Under How to scan all boxes should be selected
  • Under Possibly unwanted software all boxes should be selected
  • On right side under Reports: click on Automatically generate report after every scan.
  • Under What to scan select scan every file
  • Click On scan Tab
  • Click on Complete system scan
  • Let the program scan the machine It can take awhile give it time.
  • When scan has finished At bottom of screen click Apply all Actions
  • Click Save report
  • Click Save Report as (Save as window's screen should pop up.)
  • Click desktop
  • Click Save
  • Exit ewido

While stilll in safe mode find and delete the following files or folders using my computer . some may not exist.
 C:\Program Files\Perfect Keylogger Lite\
C:\Program Files\Gold Codec\
C:\PROGRA~1\BUYERT~1\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dcvwaah.dll

Now reboot back to normal mode and post a new HJT along with the AVG and Smitfraud logs.

Hope this helps
