Obviously you were not careful enough, But hey, that;s the risk you take downloading pirated movies.

Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the backup/restore features.

Download HijackThis from:

HijackThis Download Site

Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the back button.

Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.

Create a reply to this post here and right click in message area and select paste to paste the log into the post.

Someone will reply to you after reading this post. DO NOT fix any entries unless you understand what you are doing.

First:

Messenger Plus! 3 (and it predecessors) are a source of malware and will eventually compromise your system, if it has not already.

I strongly suggest that you remove Messenger Plus. Here's a page with instructions for proper removal of Messenger plus and it's sponsor.

http://chooseknowled...senger-Plus.htm


Second:
Reboot in Safe Mode* and run HiJackThis. <-- IMPORTANT

Check the following items in HijackThis.
(note: If any R* items do not appear in Safe Mode, re-run HiJackThis in Normal Mode and remove them after you finish removing these items.)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Joydupe] C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\APPLIC~1\VIEWBI~1\DeleteCakeLite.exe


Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked.


While still in Safe Mode*, delete the following: (you may need to show hidden files**)
(Files specified without a full path will be located in C:\Windows\ or C:\Windows\System32\)
C:\Program Files\Save\ <--delete entire folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DRVPLAYGREYBOOB\ <--delete entire folder
C:\Program Files\Personal Money Tree\ <--delete entire folder
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\APPLIC~1\VIEWBI~1\ <--delete entire folder

**Show Hidden and System files and folders: http://www.xtra.co.n...1916458,00.html

Also, uncheck the boxes for hiding known file extensions and hiding protected operating system files. We want to see it all. When we finish here, it would be a good idea to rehide the protected operating system files but leave the rest to be shown.

Reboot in normal mode

Run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.

[joecool666]

[LoPhatPhuud]

If you want to post here again, I suggest you follow the instructions given.

You were asked to run HiJackThis again and post the new log in this thread. We ask this to confirm that the log is clean, and that nothing was missed.
