Hi

There's no need to post an uninstall list yet, please complete the instructions below.



Move HijackThis
You currently are running HijackThis from here: C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\hijackthis.exe
  • On your desktop, right click an empty space and choose New > Folder
  • Rename the folder HJT
  • Copy and paste HijackThis.exe into the HJT folder.
  • Delete the original Hijackthis.exe NOT in the HJT folder.
HijackThis creates back-ups of things you fix and needs to be in it's own folder for this reason.



Antivirus
I would strongly suggest you remove IObit Security 360 as it is considered a rogue program by many - for the reasons given here - and replace it with an alternative, some suggestions of trusted applications are in the instructions below.

It would be prudent to print off or save the instructions below to notepad before commencing.

Download the installer file for your chosen Antivirus before removing IObit.


Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors: NOTE: Do not install it yet!!
Suggestions:
  • Antivir PersonalEdition Classic - Free anti-virus software for Windows. Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support.
  • avast! 4 Home Edition - Anti-virus program for Windows. The home edition is freeware for non-commercial users.
  • Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
[Please note that trial pay is not needed to get any product for free.]
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts, system instability and false virus alerts.


Disconnect from the internet.


Uninstall Programs
  • click on start
  • Click on control panel
  • Double click the icon add/remove programs
  • click on the first program in the list and click Remove
      IObit Security 360
  • Reboot


Install your previously downloaded Antivirus and then check for the latest updates when re-connecting to the internet. Then continue with the instructions below:



Gmer

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here.
  • Double click the .exe file. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent
  • If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO

    Image
    Click the image to enlarge it
  • In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
    • Sections
    • IAT/EAT
    • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
    • Show All (don't miss this one)
  • Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish
  • Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and post it in reply
**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries


Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.



random's system information tool (RSIT)

  • Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from HERE and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
  • Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  • Once it has finished, two logs will open:
    • log.txt (<<will be maximized)
    • info.txt (<<will be minimized)
  • Post both of these logs in your next reply (Sometimes you have to make several post to get the logs posted.)


In your next reply:
  1. GMER log
  2. RSIT info.txt
  3. RSIT log.txt
