Continuation of Closed Post

I want to first reference my original post, which was viewtopic.php?f=12&t=43585 That post was closed because of 5 days of inactivity as I was traveling and was unable to work on the affected computer.

Briefly, the next steps were:

0. Instlall Anti-Virus
1. Remove bad Hijack this entries
2. Clean Temp Files
3. Kaspersky Online Scan (log wanted in reply)
4. Run Hijackthis (log wanted in reply)
5. Status Check with logs + description of current performance

The performance before this was that I thought everything had been removed. At first, an Internet Explorer window was always opening but the page it was trying to load was no longer available. After the first set of changes in the original post, that problem went away.
But as the logs below will show, it hadn’t been completely removed. I’m guessing that is the case now but am posting the logs below to confirm.

My Actions
1.
I installed Avast Anti-Virus. It seems to have found four infected files, which were all deleted. That log file is here.
6/22/2009 10:15:09 AM 1245690909 daisy 3624 Sign of "JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj]" has been found in "C:\Users\daisy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\A076YT5C\popup[1].htm" file.
6/22/2009 10:16:01 AM 1245690961 daisy 3624 Sign of "JS:FakeAV-AH [Trj]" has been found in "C:\Users\daisy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\VC6C3BEZ\index[1].htm" file.
6/22/2009 10:16:14 AM 1245690974 daisy 3624 Sign of "JS:FakeAV-AI [Trj]" has been found in "C:\Users\daisy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\XJNTEDCU\flist[1].js" file.
6/22/2009 10:16:14 AM 1245690974 daisy 3624 Sign of "JS:FakeAV-W [Trj]" has been found in "C:\Users\daisy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\XJNTEDCU\scan4area_info[1].htm" file.

2.
I deleted the temporary files using the recommended program.

3.
I ran the online Kapersky scan

Hi,

Looks pretty good. One thing that should be done is to update Adobe Reader to 9.1.2 with an update here.

Hi,

Actually, let's get rid of a few hjt entries too.


Disable Ad-Watch.


Start hjt (right click daisy.exe and select run as administrator), check following entries (if found):
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=localhost:7171
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local;<local>


Make sure browser windows are closed before clicking "fix checked".

Reboot and post a fresh hjt log.

Due to inactivity this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
