My PC was recently infected with spyware. After hard work and the use of various anti-spyware programs i have managed to restore my PC almost back to normal. I am still getting random pop-ups mainly including ones ending with 'yyy'. Please help me to remove these annoying pop ups.

Hy there Sam1_r , if you have a look in the "Prework" link below in my sig and follow those instructions there , and then post the two resulting log files then im sure whe're gona get rid of those. :smiley:

Just to recap, i am having problems after recently removing some spyware. I am constantly having annoying pop ups appear, mainly from sites ending in 'yyy' extension. My PC is also slower when loading at startup.

I have included the hijack log, there are 2 Ewido logs also because in the 1st scan i forgot to check the scan every file box.

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Let's see if we can clean that up for you. :smiley:


Make sure that system restore is still disabled and that hidden files are set to show.


please download and run this tool:

Then empty Microsoft AntiSpyware's and Pestpatrol's quarentine , and Norton's Nprotect.

After that uninstall "VCClient" in add/remove programs.


Now boot in safemode (hit f8 when booting up) and fix these with hjt:
(if stil present)

Delete the files in bold and run Ccleaner.

It looks like you have two AV's and no firewall? If so ,then i would uninstall one AV , or disable its auto protect. And you could have a look in our download section for some free firewalls.

Then reboot and post a new hjt log please.

Thanks for your reply. I had a few problems following your instructions but i did what i could. The problems I had were that i couldn't find where to empty the Pestpatrols quarentine and the VCClient was not in my add/remove programs.

I managed to remove each listing in the HJT that was in your reply apart from the last that wanst there. I also seem to have just one AV in my add/remove program.

Here is my new HJT. Thanks for the Help.

There isnt always an uninstaller present , but its always better to check first and use that if there is. If it isn't , then its ok to. And looking at the screenshot here:

The quarentine should be the "skull and bones" button in the midle.

And the last entry was already removed by the Look2me remover.

The good news is that youre log is clean , but there really are 2 AV's running , Norton and AVG7. Have an other look in add/remove programs and/or youre program files folder.

Thanks a lot, there are no more pop-ups. I appreciate all the help. I have also removed 1 of the AV's.

Thanks Again and Happy New Year!!!!
