I need help (actually, my computer does!) :eek: I've got Spyware/Adware/Malware completely overtaking my computer, despite my best efforts. Just when I think I've gotten rid of it all...

Anyway, is there someone that could take a look at this and let me know which are the "at-risk" files? I am so very appreciative. Thanks in advance!

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or directly on the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://srch-us4nb.hpwis.com/
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://srch-us4nb.hpwis.com/

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [trvzmope] C:\WINDOWS\System32\ztphxuy.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\ztphxuy.exe< file

Reboot normally.

To repair the R3 entry in your log, do the following.

Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the bold below into a new text file. Save it as URLRepair.reg (Change the 'Save As Type' to 'All Files'). Save it in C:\

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
"{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"=""

Locate it (in C:\) and double-click on it (launch it). You'll recieve a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?". Answer yes and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".

Thanks, Crunchie! I totally appreciate it.

No problems.
