Hey jas, thanks for getting those two logs to me. First, please right-click on start, and choose Explore. Click on Tools, Folder Options, and then View. Make sure that there is a tic next to Display contents of System Folders, Show Hidden Files and Folders is selected, and Hide known file extensions is not selected. Now close Explorer.
Please download from my signature: CCleaner, Housecall, and SpySweeper. Update SpySweeper, andCCleaner.
Now boot into Safe Mode. To learn how to do that, go to
Getting into Windows Safe Mode. Run CCleaner, make sure that all options are selected, including Advanced. Answer OK or Yes to all warnings. Click on Analyze, then Run Cleaner. Repeat this until either no further files appear, or the same files reappear and cannot be cleaned. If you have files that cannot be cleaned, navigate to the location, right-click on the file and choose Properties. Click on the Security Tab, and Advanced button. Give yourself full ownership of the file, and then manually delete. If you cannot manually delete any file, please note that to post back here.
Now run Spy Sweeper, under Options, Sweep, make sure that all available options under Custom Sweep are selected. Run a full system scan, and let it quarantine everything that it finds. Make sure to save the log to post back here.
Go ahead and open hijackthis, close all other applications/browsers, and click on ‘perform system scan only’. Place a tick next to the following and click ‘fix checked’.
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Checkit] C:\WINDOWS\checkit.exe
O4 - Global Startup: hpoddt01.exe.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: PowerPanel.lnk = ?
Next, while still in safe mode, navigate to and delete the following file:
C:\WINDOWS\
tcpip32.exe
Reboot into normal mode, and post another
hjt for me to take a gander at.
Thanks,
v
