    Welcome,


    Look in add/remove program and remove twikibar if present, reboot afterwards.



    INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING AVG ANTI-SPYWARE in "NORMAL MODE"

    Download and scan with AVG Anti-Spyware
    1. After download, double click on the file to launch the install process.
    2. Choose a language, click "OK" and then click "Next".
    3. Read the "License Agreement" and click "I Agree".
    4. Accept default installation path: C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, click "Next", then click "Install".
    5. After setup completes, click "Finish" to start the program automatically or launch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking its icon on your desktop or in the system tray.
    6. The main "Status" menu will appear. Select "Change state" to inactivate 'Resident Shield' and 'Automatic Updates'.
    7. Then right click on AVG Anti-Spyware in the system tray and uncheck "Start with Windows".
    8. Go to Start > Run and type: services.msc

    * Press "OK".
    * Click the "Extended tab" and scroll down the list to find AVG Anti-Spyware guard.
    * When you find the guard service, double-click on it.
    * In the Properties Window > General Tab that opens, click the "Stop" button.
    * From the drop-down menu next to "Startup Type", click on "Manual".
    * Now click "Apply", then "OK" and close the Services window.

    9. Select the "Update" button and click "Start update". Wait until you see the "Update succesfull message". If you are having problems with the updater, manually update with the AVG Anti-Spyware Full database installer from HERE .

    Once the updates are installed do the following:
    1. Click on the "Scanner" button and choose the "Settings" tab.

    * Under "How to act?", click on "Recommended actions" and choose "Quarantine" to set default action for detected malware.
    * Under "How to Scan?" check all (default).
    * Under "Possibly unwanted software" check all (default).
    * Under "What to Scan?" make sure "Scan every file" is selected (default).
    * Under "Reports" select "Automatically generate report after every scan" and UNcheck "Only if threats were found".

    2. Click the "Scan" tab to return to scanning options.
    3. Click "Complete System Scan" to start.
    4. When the scan has finished you will be presented with a list of infected objects found. Click "Apply all actions" to place the files in Quarantine.

    IMPORTANT! Do not save the report before you have clicked the "Apply all actions button". If you do, the log that is created will indicate "No action taken", making it more difficult to interpret the report. So be sure you save it only AFTER clicking the "Apply all actions" button?

    5. Click on "Save Report" to view all completed scans. Click on the most recent scan you just performed and select "Save report as" - the default file name will be in date/time format as follows: Report-Scan-20060620-142816.txt. Save to your desktop. A copy of each report will also be saved in C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports\
    6. Exit AVG Anti-Spyware when done and submit the log report in your next response.

    Close all open windows, programs, and DO NOT USE the computer while AVG Anti-Spyware is scanning. If Explorer or other programs are open during the scan that means certain files will also be in use. Some malware will insert itself and hide in areas that are "protected" by Windows when the files are being used. This can hamper AVG Anti-Spyware's ability to clean properly and may result in reinfection.

    Please post a new hijackthis log also. Thanks.


    Also...



    Open Hijackthis.

    Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.

    Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.

    Click the "Save list..." Button.

    Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

    Unfortunately I am still being hijacked Neal. I have done everything you have asked me to but when I go to certain websites it always pops up. It will say at the bottom that it is redirecting URL and then the twikibar search page will pop up.

    Spyware Doctor's OnGuard protective functionality may interfere with certain HijackThis fixes we need to make. Please follow these instructions to disable it:

    To deactivate Spyware Doctor's OnGuard Tools
    1. From within Spyware Doctor, click the "OnGuard" button on the left side.
    2. Uncheck "Activate OnGuard".
    You can reenable it once your system is clean.



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

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

    Re-hide after we are done



    Run hijackthis and click on scan button and put check next to this:


    O3 - Toolbar: twikibar - {7345F548-C9AC-46F7-A350-524964350D25} - C:\PROGRA~1\REGIST~1\popupgo.dll


    Nothing open but hijackthis and click on fix checked.




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


    Navigate to these files or folders using Windows Explorer (OR Start -> Search) and delete (if present):



    DELETE FOLDERS

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\REGIST~1- Folder begins with REGIST and has this file in it popupgo.dll, if not deleted with hijackthis already


    Also do a search for this and delete if found:

    C:\Program Files\TwikiBar


    Reboot normal mode and tell me how things are now.

    It appears that it is gone after doing those steps Neal. After running hijack this after I made all of the hidden folders unhidden I found the twikibar and clicked fix this. Then I couldn't find either of those other file names in safe mode. Is that normal?

    Neal for president in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    Everything is ok now. Thanks for stopping bye.


    Flush your restore points in ME and XP, by turning System Restore off and then back on.
    This will create a fresh restore point.

    RegProtect

    This small registry protection tool will save you hours of heartache by notifying you when some program good or bad is trying to access your registry.

    You have the option of allowing(good) items or blocking(bad)items.


    http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=regprot


    To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect yourself against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:

    1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft. This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer. You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser.
    http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co....aspx?ln=en-us

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp


    2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching, there are a some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
    AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

    Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html


    3. In addtion to using Ad-aware consider using another free malware scanning/removal program:
    Windows Defender

    http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx


    4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one. Some good free ones are:
    Kerio
    http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm

    Zone Labs Personal Firewall:
    Zone Labs



    5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows update.
    Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/


    6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:
    SpywareGuard will protect your homepage from being hijacked: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
    SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking Thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. Download it here:

    http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html


    If you use SpywareBlaster, you can also use a customblocklist to add even more entries into IE restricted sites zone. Go to this site for the current list and how to use instructions: http://customblockinglist.cjb.net/


    IE-SPYAD is similar in that it adds thousands more known malware sites to IE's restricted zone. Download it here:
    https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm


    Block access to Untrustworthy Sites

    You can prevent your computer from visiting a myriad of untrustworthy sites and ad-servers by installing a customised hosts file. One of the best available is the: MVPS Hosts File. Simply follow the instructions to install the file in the correct location. This will not only make surfing safer but will improve website load times and block popups from many of the large ad-servers.



    *Remember just like your primary anti-virus software, it is important to keep all of these programs up-to-date and use them on a regular basis. It's Free
