I'm having much of the same trouble I mentioned in my last post with my laptop. Here's the log for it:

Thanks again!

1. Download AboutBuster ver. 3.0 here:
http://www.malwareby...AboutBuster.zip

Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet we'll do that later on down in this list in SAFE MODE.

2. Print out these instructions so you have them handy as some of the steps need to be done in safe mode and you may not be able to go online. We need IE to remain closed throughout the process.

3. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

4. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

Scroll down and find the service called 'Network Security Service' or 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper' or 'Workstation NetLogon Service'. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

5. Reboot to Safe Mode

6. Scan with Hijack This (current version is 198.2) and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked".

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wintw.dll
C:\WINDOWS\msopt.dll

7. Double click on the AboutBuster tool I had you download earlier. Follow the instruction prompts to use the program and let do two scans (it will ask). When finished, press the *Save log* button. I will want a copy of that log after all steps are completed here.

8. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.

9. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure these 3 are checked and then press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

10. Reboot to normal mode, scan again with Hijack This and post a new log here.

11. NOTE:Two possibly three files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced.

Control.exe
hosts (with no extension)
SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy)

If control. exe is missing
Go here: http://www.spywarein...es.html#control and download the version of control.exe for your operating system. If you are running Windows 2000, copy it to c:\winnt\system32\. For Windows XP, copy it to c:\windows\system32\.

Download the Hoster from here: http://members.aol.c...dbee/hoster.zip
Press 'Restore Original Hosts' and press 'OK'
Exit Program.
Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself

If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it here:
http://www.spywarein...s.html#sdhelper and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)
........................................................
12. Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow ALL ActiveX!! If they have been changed, reset your active x security settings in IE as recommended.
Quote:

ActiveX controls and plug-ins

* Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
* Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
* Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
* Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
* Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)



13. Finally, do an online scan at the following site. Let it remove any infected files found.
Trend Micro (PC-cillin) - Free on-line Scan
http://housecall.antivirus.com

Finally, when you are all done, please post the new HJT log and the AboutBuster log here for review
