do a CTRL+ALT+DEL to open Task Manager and under running "Processes" kill the following processes (if you find them):

istsvc.exe
mufrgc.exe
wkfud.exe
inetfor.exe
spoolvse.exe

Move Hijack This to its own folder (like create a new folder for it called HijackThis on the desktop or in "My Documents"), and then run Hijack This again and put a check next to each of the following items, then close all other windows and browsers (including this one - leaving only HijackThis open) and then click "Fix checked"

Now boot to Safe Mode

How to boot to Safe Mode:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406

To make your hidden files and folders visible, go to Start > Search and under "More advanced search options". Make sure there is a check next to "Search System Folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search system subfolders"

Now click on My Computer. Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the "View" tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Now in Safe Mode find and delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\mufrgc.exe

inetfor.exe <--this will probably be in either the C:\WINDOWS folder or C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder

and delete the following folder:

C:\Program Files\ISTsvc

Delete files/folders from the following directories (But not the directory itself, for example delete all files/folder IN temp.
C:\Windows\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\<All other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ <<<This will delete your files in your internet cache--including cookies.
C:\Documents and Settings\<All other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

Then empty the Recycle Bin.

Then reboot to normal mode.

Now go here to do an online virus scan (make sure you checkmark to scan AND clean):

Run Hijack This again and post a new log here

Thank you so much for responding so quickly - I will do as you suggest immediately

 

[wdm2291]

You're welcome. How did it go?

Hello lornagall2 and Welcome to TSG!

After doing what wdm2291 instructed, do the following.

Download SpywareBlaster from here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=2859&file=11&evp=61b0e8ad41924a03c37615f4682b4cef

Install and run SpywareBlaster. Click on "Updates" and then choose "Check for updates". Next choose "Protection" and at the top you will see different tabs which are Internet Explorer, Restricted sites and Mozilla/Firefox. Choose one of them at a time and at the bottom click "Protect Against Checked Items" (make sure that all of the items are checked). Tick the boxes above the items. Make sure you do this for all of the top tabs. Mozilla/Firefox you only need to do if you have the user profiles on your computer. You may now exit out of SpywareBlaster.

Download Spybot S&D from here:
http://users.skynet.be/fa936042/spybotsd13.exe

Install and run Spybot S&D. Choose "Search for updates". Next choose "Download updates". After that, choose "Search and Destroy" and click on "Check for problems". If Spybot finds any nasties on your computer, make sure that they are ticked and choose "Fix selected problems".

Download Ad-Aware SE from here:
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button

Install and run Ad-Aware SE. On the bottom right corner of Ad-Aware you will see an option called "Check for updates now", click on that and choose "connect". Download the updates. Next click on "Scan now" on the left side of Ad-Aware. Make sure that "Search for negligible risk entries" is crossed out and not ticked. Choose "Perform full system scan" and click "Next". After Ad-Aware scans your computer, Ad-Aware may find some bad files on your computer so make sure you tick them all and choose "Next". It will ask if you want to remove those items so just continue. After removing the items close Ad-Aware.

Restart your computer and post a fresh HijackThis log back on this thread.

Before you continue, I suggest that you PRINT out this page.

Turn off System Restore by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing "Properties". Click on the "System Restore" tab and put a tick next to "Turn System Restore off". Click "OK".

Go to My Computer and click on "Tools" then "Folder Options. Click on the "View" tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is enabled. Click "OK".

Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Find and "End Process" the following process:
spoolvse.exe

Find and delete the following file:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\spoolvse.exe

Run HijackThis and fix the following entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [start extracting] spoolvse.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [start extracting] spoolvse.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [start extracting] spoolvse.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [start extracting] spoolvse.exe

Restart your computer back to normal mode and post a fresh HijackThis log back on this thread.

It is looking a lot happier now so I am hoping this will be it.

Hi Lorna,

It looks like your log is clean. One thing you should do is go and download all of the latest security updates from Microsoft because your browser is out of date and therefore less secure than it could be.

Good luck,


Wayne

 

[lornablue]

Magic - thanks a bundle guys.

 

[wdm2291]

You're welcome, lorna

Good luck
