Hello kweenee and welcome,

I'm kevinf80 and I will be helping with any malware issues you may have with your system.

• Please be aware that some of the logs I may ask for can be very complex and can take a long time to decipher. I am a volunteer here with a job and family so I ask that you be patient when waiting for replies.
• Please DO NOT run any scans/tools/fixes on your own as this will conflict with the tools we are going to use.
• Either print or Save to Notepad all instructions and please follow them carefully, if there's something you don't understand or that will not work please let me know and we will go through it together.
• Malware is often buggy and can be very unstable, with that in mind it is advisable to backup any important data before we begin.
• If you do not reply within 72 hours the thread will be closed, if you need more time let me know. Likewise if I do not respond within 48 hours feel free to PM me.
• If you have any P2P applications installed such as BitTorrent, uTorrent, Limewire etc etc, please uninstall them before we begin.
• If you are using Cracked or Illegal software your thread will be locked and all help will cease.

You have not upgraded your Operating System to Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Internet Explore 8 (IE8) any reason why not? You will be prone to infection without those updates.

Please proceed as follows :-

Step 1

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan only.  Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {CCC7A320-B3CA-4199-B1A6-9F516DD69829} - (no file)
O4 - Global Startup: Bluetooth.lnk = ?
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - ?s=100000338&p=ZJxdm150YYPH&si=&a=2UKW6T1AdDjg7N2IRjC8oA&n=2010073105

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.  Close HiJackThis.  Reboot

Step 2

Download and scan with CCleaner

1. Starting with v 1.27.26 (This version no. will differ), CCleaner installs the Yahoo Toolbar as an option which IS checkmarked by default during the installation. IF you do NOT want it, REMOVE the checkmark when provided with the option OR download the toolbar-free or Slim versions instead of the Standard Build.
2. Before first use, select Options > Advanced and UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 24 hours"
3. Then select the items you wish to clean up.

In the Windows Tab:

• Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section except Cookies if you want to keep those.
• Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
• Clean all entries in the "System" section.
• Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
• Clean any others that you choose.

In the Applications Tab:

• Clean all except cookies in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
• Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
• Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
• Clean any others that you choose.

4. Click the "Run Cleaner" button.
5. A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
6. Click "OK" and it will scan and clean your system.
7. Click "exit" when done.

Step 3

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
Alernative D/L mirror
Alternative D/L mirror

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

• Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
• Please save the log to a location you will remember.
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Step 4

Download CKScanner from here

Important : Save it to your desktop.

• Doubleclick CKScanner.exe and click Search For Files.
• After a very short time, when the cursor hourglass disappears, click Save List To File.
• A message box will verify that the file is saved.
• Double-click the CKFiles.txt icon on your desktop and copy/paste the contents in your next reply.

Step 5

Download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE.
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box. Press any key when asked.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

What i`d like in your reply :-

• Log from Malwarebytes
• Log from CKScanner
• Log from Security Checks
