Hello again, Mark in Kingston

I need for you to download some programs. Do not use them until directed to do so.

If there's anything that you don't understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding with the fixes.
There should not be any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below.
You will want to copy out these instructions and save them to notepad as you will not have internet connection during the fix.
Save the notepad to your desktop where you can find it.


Go to: http://download.ewido.net/ewido-setup.exe
" Install Ewido Security Suite
" When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
o Install background guard
o Install scan via context menu
" Double-click the icon on Desktop to launch Ewido
You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
" On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
" Then click on Start Update.
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/
When you have finished updating, EXIT Ewido.


Go to: here to download smitRem.exe.
Extract it to it's own folder on your desktop (Right-click on an empty space on your desktop, choose New...Folder. Name it smitRem.


Please download SpyAxeFix © noahdfear.
Save it to your desktop. Close all other programs and windows. Double click SpyAxeFix.exe, then click Start to extract the tool to it's own folder.


Start up your computer, after the first 'beep' begin tapping on the F8 key. A black menu page will appear.
Use your arrow keys to choose Safe Mode (without networking!)
Click on the Enter key.
Your desktop will appear, although it will be very distorted. The words Safe Mode will be in each corner of the desktop.

We need to open up hidden files and folders. Click Start>>>>Control Panel>>>>Folder Options and double click.
Under the View tab scroll down to Hidden Files and Folders
Check Show hidden files and folders
Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended} Answer Yes
Click Apply and click OK

To make scanning easier and quicker, let's get rid of some temp files.
Click Start>>>>Run and type in the box: cleanmgr.exe click OK
Let the application scan your computer, then make sure these 3 are checkmarked:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

click OK and when finished, close the application.


Run Ewido with it's updated definitions:(...it's important that all windows must be closed)
Click Scanner
Click Complete System Scan to begin scanning.
Click OK when prompted to clean files
With the first file it prompts to clean, select the option:
"Perform action on all infections"
Choose clean and click OK.
Once finished, click the Save report button & save the report to your desktop.


Now open the smitRem folder, double-click on the the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.
Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.


Open HJT and scan. Place a check/tick next to these items (if present):
O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {e9ccf15d-4c68-4b5a-9e9a-8e12e4bd39bd} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp277.tmp << may be different numbers.
O21 - SSODL: SystemCheck2 - {54645654-2225-4455-44A1-9F4543D34546} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbsys2.dll

With everything closed (Nothing open) except HijackThis, click on the Fix Checked button. Close HJT.


On your keyboard, click on the Windows key and the E key to bring up your Windows Explorer
Click to expand the C:/ drive, navigate to and delete the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvctrl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mssearchnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp277.tmp <<<< NOTE: this may have changed names. Look in the System32 Folder for any hpxxx.tmp files and delete them all.

While you still have your Windows Explorer open, scroll through the C:\Windows to the Prefetch folder. Open the folder and delete all the contents.
Do not delete the folder, just the contents of the Prefetch folder. Close Windows Explorer.
Empty your recycle bin.


Open the SpyAxeFix folder and double click the SpyAxeFix.bat to start the tool.
At one point when the tool runs, your taskbar will disappear, and your computer will restart when the tool completes.
A text file will be created in the SpyAxeFix folder. Post the contents of it in your next reply.

After the reboot, on a clear spot on your desktop, right-click and choose Properties
Under the Desktop tab, click on Customize Desktop
Click on Web tab and uncheck/delete Security Info if present
Click OK
Click Apply and then click OK


Reboot normally. Do an online scan at: Trend Housecalls Virus Scan
Let it clean, disinfect, quarantine any items found.

Open HJT, scan, and save the report.
Paste the Ewido log, the smitfiles.text, the SpyAxeFix log and the new HJT log to this thread. It may take more than one post to get them all pasted.
I'll be watching for your reply.
