Keep all browsers closed. Click on Start then Control Panel
Double click on the Java plug-in icon (there may be more than one). The Java Control Panel appears.

1. Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files. The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.
2. Click the Delete Files. The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.
Put a checkmark next to the three options on this window to clear the cache.
* Downloaded Applets
* Downloaded Applications
* Other Files
3. Click Ok on the Delete Temporary Files window.
4. Click Ok on Temporary Files Settings window.

If there are other Java plug-in icons... perform the same action on all of them. That should clean out the infected files.

Post afresh HJT log.

Fix this line and your good to go.

Run HijackThis, select Do a system scan only and place checks against the following entries (if they are still present)


O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.toshibadirect.com/dpdstart
WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED Click on Fix Checked and exit

--------------------------------

Well done for staying with it.

Congratulations you are clean! :)
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

You don't need to put all of these programs on your system unlike your Antivirus and firewall of which you can only have one of each.
However you can have several Antimalware programs


Create a new System Restore Point
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6.2
Download it from here. Just choose a mirror and off you go.
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spybot properly here
Find here changes from older version 1.4 here

Install Spyware Guard
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Guard here

Install SpyWare Blaster
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

Install FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

Install MVPS Hosts File from here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
http://www.update.microsoft.com

Please check out Tony Klein's article here

Read some information here how to prevent Malware.

Stand Up and Be Counted!
Please take the time to tell us what you would like to be done about the people who are behind all the problems you have had. We can only get something done about this if the people that we help, like you, are prepared to complain. We have a dedicated forum for collecting these complaints called Malware Complaints. Please register there first! Then follow the instructions.

Happy safe surfing!
