Welcome to DAL,


Go to the link below for a download link for hijackthis:

http://www.d-a-l.com/help/showthread.php?t=32403


Do this first:


Please download hoster from the link below.

http://www.funkytoad.com/download/hoster.zip

Open Hoster.exe.

Then click on "Restore Original Hosts"

Close program when complete.


Please download this file to your desktop - http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf

Right click on the file you downloaded and select install. This resets the trusted and restricted zones to defaults.

Note: if you have immunized with Spybot this takes those off. You will have to re-immunize with Spybot. If you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE/Spyads, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both of those afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE/Spyads, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

Reboot and try to post a hijackthis log, if no go try this:


Please download, install, and update the NEW free version of Ewido trojan scanner:
[*]When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
[*]When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
[*]From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
[*]After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
[*]Click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run.
[*]If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. We have been finding some cases of false positives with the new version of Ewido, so we need to step through the fixes one-by-one. If Ewido finds something that you KNOW is legitimate (for example, parts of AVG Antivirus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk" have been flagged), select "none" as the action. DO NOT check "Perform action with all infections". If you are unsure of an entry, select "none" for the time being. I'll see that in the log you will post later and let you know if ewido needs to be run again.
[*]When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again.

Post the log Ewido makes back here please and a new hijackthis log. Thanks.
