    Pop up adds from CiD: (RESOLVED)

    When I am using Internet Explorer Ver 6, I am getting bombarded with popup adds, mostly now from 'CiD:' and they seem to be delivereing adds related to my viewing. My popup stopper is enabled. I have read similar posts and have installed "HijackThis" here is the log for that. I anticipate a request for the uninstall log so that follows on. Any and all help is appreciated.

    Thanks, Rob Shakesbeer.

    Please disable the ‘active protection’ components of the following application(s), as it/they may hinder the removal of some entries. Otherwise, certain cleaning attempts may be wrongly recognized and blocked as hijacking attempts or other potentially inappropriate behavior. You can re-enable such tools after your computer is clean.


    Please ensure that 'PARETOLOGIC ANTI-SPYWARE' and 'TrojanHunter' are not running while fixes are being applied. You can end applicable 'running processes' in Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete KEYS), or specifically

    Disable Trojan Hunter Guard:
    • Go to TrojanHunter Guard in the lower right corner of your screen. It is a light blue icon with a magnifying glass that can be difficult to see but the handle is red.
    • Right click it and select settings. Uncheck "Load at startup" and "Enabled"


    PLEASE NOTE: Your current popup problem is mostly found to occur on PCs using P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications such as BitTorrent.

    The following tool will not necessary fix any or all of your issues but will at least provide potentially valuable diagnostic information:


    Please Download NoLop to your desktop from one of the links below...
    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3
    • First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot
    • Double click NoLop.exe to run it
    • Now click the button labelled "Search and Destroy"
      <<your computer will now be scanned for infected files>>
    • When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK
    • Now click the "REBOOT" Button.
    • A Message should popup from NoLop. If not, double click the program again and it will finish Please Post the contents of C:\NoLop.log along with a fresh HijackThis log (if fixes were indicated by NoLop)

    --If you receive an error, "mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies are not correctly registered," please download mscomctl.ocx to your system32 folder and then rerun the program.



    Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.



    Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp

    Install Options:
    • Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Do not run CCleaner until requested later.





    We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.

    SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Safe Ooze Gpl Error] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\APPLICation Data\Knobcdromsafeooze\download size.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [bleh mapi] C:\DOCUME~1\RDW\APPLIC~1\INFODA~1\encbrowse.exe

    Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
    CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.



    HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see all hidden files, please follow the directions here

    SAFEMODE: Boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key at restart and choosing 'safe mode' menu option (explained here if needed).



    Delete TEMPORARY FILES: Now, use CCleaner to hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):

    Run CCleaner .

    FIRST-TIME USE:
    Select the ‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), ‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’.

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)

    Hi VopThis, and many thanks for your prompt and very thorough reply. I have carried out 'part 1' and here is the NoL & HijackThis logs. I am shortly going to open up CCleaner and will report back here when that is done.

    With thanks
    Rob Shakesbeer.

    Hi there, I have completed all steps you suggested and so far all looks great. The machine runs well and to date no more popups. This is great! I have had this nuisance for a few months and tried several removers but it would not go away. After searching the net I found the link to this forum and at last success. Thank you very much for the valued help.

    Here is the final HijackThis log file you requested.

    With regards and thanks,

    Rob Shakesbeer.

    OK, just one more point.

    I did not receive an error, "mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies are not correctly registered," therefore no action was taken.

    Your system has an outdated version of Sun Java that could create serious security exposure issues for your PC.

    Update your Java.

    Older JAVA versions have vulnerabilities that malware can and are using to infect systems.

    Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.
    • Close any programs you may have running, ESPECIALLY your web browser
    • Click Start > Control Panel.
    • Click Add/Remove Programs.
    • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name.
    • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
    • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java.
    • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.

    Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 11 or higher, and install it to your computer.


    New Version should show as (HijackThis log):

    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\… or higher



    You will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.




    Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 (AVG AS - formally known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0 - uninstall any previous version first).
    • Click the Download BUTTON. On the next page click the Download now BUTTON.
    • Save and then install (Run) from the save location.
    • Open/Run AVG Anti-Spyware
    • Wait a few moments and AVG Anti-Spyware should Auto update itself (note date of last update). If it doesn't update, click the update ICON at top of screen:

    • Click on the Update now LINK at the top of the window
      • Click on the Start update button
      • Wait for the update to download and install
  7. This is very important to get the LATEST updates.
  8. Click on the Status ICON
    • Under "Your computers Security"
      Click change status on Resident shield to inactive (ONLY consider activation of that feature once you are clean)
  9. Click on the Scanner ICON at the top of the window
  10. Click on the Settings tab then select Recommended Actions and choose Quarantine
  11. When updating has finished. Close AVG Anti-Spyware.



  12. We will be using this tool in a later step.




    Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
    • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
    • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
    • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
    • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
    • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
    • Login on your usual account.
    ______________________________


    Close ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders. Please start AVG Anti-Spyware , and run a full scan:
    • Click on the default Status ICON and select the Scan now LINK.

      OR

    • Click on the Scanner ICON . Select the Scan TAB.

      • Select Complete System Scan. AVG Anti-Spyware will now begin to scan your system.

    • If AVG Anti-Spyware finds anything it will list them in the Preview WINDOW:
      • Make sure that Set all elements to: shows Quarantine, if not click on the link and choose Quarantine from the popup menu.
      • Select Apply all actions at the bottom of the window (and the items found will be quarantined – and recoverable, if any items are needed back).

    • When the scan has completed, click on the Save Scan Report button and save the scan to your Desktop where it can be easily found.
    • Copy and paste the AVG Anti-Spyware scan results into your next post.
    • Close AVG Anti-Spyware.


    REBOOT and Post your latest HijackThis log. And, let us know how your PC is now behaving – any changes in behavior.
