    Hello,
    Please could you download and unzip About:Buster from AboutBuster. Leave it for now, we'll use it later. Also download and install Ad-aware from here.

    Once you have installed Ad-aware, run the program and in the bottom right hand corner click Check For Updates. Update Ad-aware following the prompts and then close the program, we will use it later.

    Then boot into Safe Mode and ensure that you are showing Hidden Files and Folders beforehand.

    Go to Start> Run and type services.msc.

    Locate Network Security Service (NSS). Double click it and click the Stop button in the Properties window. Select Disabled from the drop down menu next to Startup Type. Click Ok and exit Services.

    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to get into Task Manager. Once in Task Manager, end the following processes (if they exist):

    ieud.exe

    Restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to these entries and click Fix Checked:

    Delete the following files and folders:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\EZPOPS~1.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\atljk32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieud.exe

    Now run the file aboutbuster.exe that we downloaded earlier. When the tool is open press the Ok button, then the Start button, then the Ok button, and then finally the Yes button. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.When finished, press the "Save log" button. I will want a copy of that log after all steps are completed here.

    Copy the contents of this quote box to Notepad:

    REGEDIT4

    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\HSA]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\SE]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\SW]
    Click File> Save As. Click the drop down arrow next to Save as type: and select all files. In the filename box type fix.reg. Save it to a convenient location. Once saved, double click it and confirm that you want it to merge with the registry.

    Now Start Ad-aware

    We need to configure Ad-aware for a full scan.

    Click on the Gear icon (second from the left) to access the preferences/settings window

    1. In the General window make sure the following are selected:
    • Automatically save log-file
    • Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
    • Safe Mode (always request confirmation)
    2. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select :
    • Scan Within Archives
    • Scan Active Processes
    • Scan Registry
    • Deep Scan Registry
    • Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
    • Scan my Hosts file
    • Under Click here to select drives + folders, choose:
    • All of your hard drives
    Click on the Advanced button on the left and select:
    • Include additional process information
    • Include additional file information
    • Include environment information
    Click the Tweak button and select:
    • Under the Scanning Engine:
      • Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
      • Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
    • Under the Cleaning Engine:
      • Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
    Click on Proceed to save the settings.

    Click Start and on the next screen choose Activate in-depth Scan at the bottom of the page and then choose:
    • Use Custom Scanning Options
    Click Next and Ad-aware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

    Save the log file when it asks and then click Finish

    When finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose Select All from the drop down menu and click Next).

    Then go to Start> Run and type cleanmgr.

    Put a checkmark next to:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    Click Ok

    Reboot into Normal Mode.

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

    Control.exe. If control.exe is missing go to merijn 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\.

    hosts (with no extension). Download the Hoster. 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

    SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy). If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it with this one. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

    Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow all ActiveX. In IE, click Tools> Internet Options and then click the Security tab. Click on Custom Level and make sure that the following settings are correct:

    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)

    Pay a visit to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and let it scan for and remove any viruses, worms or trojans you may have.

    Then post a fresh Hijack This log and your About:Buster log here.

    We are nearly done now.

    Could you download the attached DelDomains.zip. Unzip it and right click the DelDomains file and click Install. It is a silent process.

    WARNING: This will remove all sites from your Trusted and Restricted. If you have made Immunizations with a program like Spybot or SpywareBlaster, you will needd to redo these immunizations.

    Then reboot and post a fresh log

    Someone should get to you ASAP. Have a read of this info:

    Preventing it returning

    After your problem has been resolved on the forum, it is an absoulute MUST to do the following steps to prevent the problem returning. Click on the link to get access to the software or webpage that I'm referring to.

    1. Visit Windows Update
    Pay a visit to Windows Update and scan for and download ALL Critical Updates and Service Packs. New updates are usually released monthly so check back to Windows Update every month.

    2. Download Antivirus Software-
    If you haven't already got Antivirus software, you should download and install AVG Antivirus. It is freeware and is updated nearly every 2 days (sometimes more frequently if there are a lot of new viruses) and in my opinion, is better than some Antivirus software such as Norton. Antivirus software will prevent viruses infecting your system and it is important that you update it every two days or every week at the most.

    3. Download a Firewall-
    If you haven't already got a firewall, it is Very important that you download one. Firewalls will prevent unauthorised access to your computer and stop data leaking out of your computer. You may think that it won't happen to you, but Hackers don't care who you are, what you do, where you live or what you had for tea last Sunday on your holiday in the Lake District, they want your data. Firewalls will keep these sneaks out and one of the best is Sygate Personal Firewall, which happens to be freeware.

    4. Spyware Scanners-
    It is important that as well as having real time spyware protection, you have a spyware scanning application. If you have not already been told to download one earlier in this thread, it is a good idea to download Spybot Search And Destroy and Ad-aware. They are both spyware scanners and will search for a remove spyware. It is recommended that you have both, because one will pick up entries that the other misses. It is even a good idea to download these if you have other programs such as ASE, Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, etc, because one spyware scanner will not pick up everything. Please remember to update your spyware scanners weekly/fortnightly.

    5. Prevent Spyware slipping through Internet Explorer-
    Quite a lot of spyware slips through Internet Explorer if your settings are not tight enough. Spyware Blaster will help you prevent spyware slipping through and installing tracking cookies. Simply run it via Start> Programs> Spyware Blaster and click Enable All Protection and it will protect you. It doesn't even have to be open! Remember to update weekly/fortnightly.

    6. Constant Spyware Protection-
    It is important to have constant spyware protection. Spyware Guard works like an antivirus program but detects Spyware instead. It will constantly protect your system. Check for updates monthly.

    All Of these steps are very important and it is HIGHLY recommended that you download all of the programs mentioned for your own safety. Remember to Update everything (including Windows using Windows Update)! It is also a good idea to perform weekly/fortnightly scans with Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and your antivirus software.

    And last of all, please remember, that common sense is your greatest tool. Without it, spyware and other related Malware would rule!
