Hi,

Welcome to Malware Removal.

There is no sign of an antivirus installed on your system. There are several reasons for it. Either you have disabled your antivirus or there's no antivirus installed.

If you have disabled it, please re-enable it. If you have no antivirus installed, please get ONE antivirus and install it. Restart the computer for changes to take effect.

avast! 4 Home Edition
AntiVir Free Edition

Please post back a new HijackThis log after installing the antivirus.

In addition, please do the following:

  1. Please download and install CCleaner Slim.
  2. Once installed, double click on the desktop shortcut created.
  3. On the leftmost column, click on Tools.
  4. On the middle column, click on Uninstall.
  5. At the bottom right hand corner, click on the Save to text file... button.
  6. By default, it saves this file to C:\Program Files\CCleaner named install.txt. You may want to save it to your desktop to find it easily. Click Save.
  7. Close CCleaner.


Note: Doing this will not uninstall any programs. It will only produce a log of installed programs on your computer.

In your next reply, please post:

  1. A new HijackThis log
  2. CCleaner install.txt file

Hi Thanks for your reply again. Im not using genuine xp , thus Ican't use this tool . Is this any other way of getting rid of this nasty malware which keeps me getting redirected to varrious unwanted sites again ans again.

Thanks again.
Please read this - viewtopic.php?t=550

As your operating system didn't pass the Microsoft's Genuine test, help will not given.

This also means that you can't update as well, leaving your computer open to attacks. This will make any cleaning futile as you will be back re-infected again.

You can either get a legitimate copy of Windows or use Linux. A list of Linux distributions can be found on Distrowatch.

Some easy-to-use Linux distributions include OpenSuse, Fedora Core, Ubuntu and Pardus.
