Welcome to DAL,

That adam.com are you familiar with that or something you want?


Did you install a program called Camera Detector:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Camera Detector] C:\PROGRA~1\ACDSYS~1\DEVDET~1\DEVDET~1.EXE -autorun

This is an excellent program but may hinder some fixes
Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Click on Tools, Settings.
In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
Under Startup Options uncheck Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.



First we need to move HJT into its own folder:
Please put your HJT in a folder such as C:\HJT or C:\Program Files\HJT. Copy or drag-and-drop the HijackThis program to the newly created folder. Then make or alter the shortcut to the HJT program.


Go into add/remove program and remove:(IF FOUND)

AdwareAlert---bad program

Reboot if it was found and removed.


Go here to learn how to show hidden files/folders:

http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html#5


Download Clean.bat to your desktop(Save page as or Save as): for later use to clean out your TEMPORARY and PREFETCH files.
http://www.thatcomputerguy.us/downloads/clean.bat


Scan with HJT again and put a check next to these items, making sure all browser windows are closed includeing this one so print this or create a new text document on desktop by right clicking an open area select new text document and save it to what ever you like. Now put a check next to these:


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Sexy_Blondes_au] C:\Program Files\Sym\Dialers\Sexy_Blondes_au\Sexy_Blondes_au. exe /dontdial
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ms1src] c:\program files\common files\system\ms1src.exe /install
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdwareAlert] C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert\AdwareAlert.Exe -boot



Again make sure all browser windows are closed and click FIX


Now reboot into safe mode by tapping your F8 key upon restart and safe mode screen appears, select safe mode and press enter.


Hunt for and delete if present:

C:\Program Files\Sym---folder
c:\program files\common files\system < folder
C:\Program Files\AdwareAlert < folder



Now run that clean batch file you created earlier, type in 'Y' a couple of times and press enter at the prompts.

Then:


Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE and hit enter.
When prompted select the C: drive and click ok.
Check the boxes for:
Temporary Internet Files
Downloaded Program Files
Recycle Bin
Temporary Files
Click OK or Enter

Reboot

Make sure you are set to normal startup. Click Start -> Run -> Type Msconfig -> Press Enter -> make sure Startup is set to Normal Start


Post a new HJT log for further review

Hello all,

I just posted a new log file in a previous message for review and decided to run ewido. It found spyware.cookie.statcounter. Could someone please tell me what this is? I am wondering when these spyware / virus problems are going to stop and whether it's because i do not have adequate protection.

Sincerely
TKING

Please stick to this thread for any and all comments or questions. Thanks.

How is your computer behaving now?

You never did answer my questions about adam.com or camera detector.

Harmless cookie


We can get you fixed up with all kinds of free stuff


Run this online scan from Panda and post the log it makes for us to look at.

Hi Neal,

The camera detector I presume was installed as part of setup disks for my digital camera. Regarding Panda, it said the browser I use (Mozilla firefox) dosen't support it. I tried to download Internet Explorer off the microsoft website, but a message popped up when I tried to execute setup files off my desktop informing me I already had a later version of IE on my computer. I then went into programs and selected Internet Explorer and the home page of my Internet Provider "Adam Internet" popped up which may answer your other question. I'll quite happily use IE if necessary, so if it's not too much trouble perhaps you could provide me with advice. In light of all this, I therefore haven't been able to scan with Panda as requested.

Kind Regards

TKING

Neal,

I should have mentioned in my previous message that the computer is now operating really well - thanks so much. Looking forward to your reply re outstanding issues

Cheers

TKING

Yes internet explorer is required, my fault for not stating that.

If you see fit scan with Panda useing IE.

If your satisfied all is well then that is your choice not to scan with Panda

Let me know either way.

If you think your good to go i have some free programs for you to try.

Hello Neal,

I'm think I'm good to go, therefore please send me links or programs that you recommend

Cheers

TKING
