    Hi,

    I downloaded, installed, and ran Spybot and Adaware and then restarted my computer.

    I ran HijackThis and here is my log:

    Anyone who can tell me what to check so I can get rid of this pest, much thanks to you. It's been bugging me for the past two days or so!

    Did this pest appear in the past few days or what?

    It looks as though you may also have a peper infection. Download this removal tool. Save in a permanent folder, then open and double-click on 'uninst.exe', let it run and terminate. YOU MUST BE ONLINE FOR THIS TO WORK, and DO NOT block any attempt by the program to connect to the Internet if your firewall (when applicable) asks permission. Reboot when done.

    Scan again with HJT and place a check next to any of these remaining entries.

    Close all other windows and click fix. Reboot. Set to show hidden files and folders and navigate to C:\Program Files and delete the folder AutoUpdate. Then C:\Program Files\Common Files and delete the WinTools folder if present. Then open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB and rename realsched.exe to realsched.old. Open C:\windows\temp, select all and delete. Open C:\WINDOWS\System32 and if present delete the file Rpv5UwT4.exe. Open C:\Windows\Prefetch, select all and delete. Open C:\Documents and Settings\(all usernames)\Local Settings\temp, select all and delete. Open internet options in the control panel and delete TIF's. Check the box for offline content. Finally empty the recycle bin and reboot. Suggest you open Spybot and enable the immunize feature. Click the link on that page for SpywareBlaster, download and install. Run another HJT scan and post the log. Let us know how things are working.

    First of all, thanks for all your help noahdfear. I'm really glad I found this site! :)

    I did everything your post said to do. The only "problem" I ran into was when I went to delete everything from the Temp folder. It didn't delete the following 3 items:

    T30DebugLogFile.txt
    tom.tmp
    tracker7.exe

    When I tried to delete those a second time, a message popped up saying that it couldn't delte T30DebugLogFile.txt because it was being used. Should I try and delete the other two files?

    Here's my HijackThis log after doing everything in your post:

    CPU Performance

    Everything seems to be fine but I still have something that is causing my CPU usage to go from the single digits (which I assume is normal) to close to 100%. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes I'll bring the System Processes tab in the Windows Task Manager and watch it for a few minutes and it'll spike when I bring it up and then settle down.

    Also my Page File Usage is at 188MB. It was higher than that before I installed and ran all the programs you guys have mentioned. Is this normal or should it be lower?

    Log looks good. All three of those files need to go. Either try in safe mode or install this utility, Move-on-Boot. You will notice a new right click menu option. Select each of them to be deleted and reboot. I think it would also be a good move to do an online scan with RAV and/or Housecall.

    I imagine it is lower now than before since lots of the junk you removed loaded itself into memory and so you had more stuff paged out to virtual memory (your pagefile).

    The pagefile useage will go up and down according to what you are running and as long as you have some unused space, don't worry about it. If you suddenly start running low and haven't added new apps (or started using some you've had for a while) then it might be time to take a look. Otherwise, no need to even think about the thing.

    I have Norton Anitvirus 2004 on my machine. Should I run that instead of RAV and/or Housecall?

    YES! Often-times a virus can disable or hide from your AV, and different scanners pick up on different things. It's a painless process. :)

    I ran NAV, Ad-Aware, Spy-bot, and HijackThis. Here's the results of each:

    Norton Antivirus

    Found 2 files.

    S42NS.exe (adware.mybar) Located in C:\ProgramFiles\MySearch\bar\1.bin\S42NS.exe

    Uninstaller.exe (Spyware.Apropos) Located in C:\ProgramFiles\SysAI\Unistaller.exe

    NAV failed to delete both of these. How should I go about getting rid of these.

    Ad-Aware

    Nothing

    Spy-bot

    55 Problems found
    54 Fixed

    The one it didn't fix:

    Company:MFC
    Product: Retrieve
    Threat: Keylogger
    URL: www.themfc.org (Doesn't work. Big Surprise!)
    Functionality: Retrieves a lot of different passwords.
    Location: C:\Windows\Access.exe

    Should I have GiPo@MoveonBoot remove all 3 of these files from my computer?

    Any other programs you guys recommend I download and install?

    Finally, here's my HijackThis Log:

    Log still looks good. :) Delete them any way you can, preferrable the whole folder. Move-on-Boot will only do files though. So if you can't just right click and delete the folders, or the files then folders, use MoB on the files, reboot and manually do the folders.

    C:\ProgramFiles\MySearch
    C:\ProgramFiles\SysAI

    Use MoB on this file.

    C:\Windows\Access.exe

    I had forgotten to empty the trash so when I ran NAV again, it found those folders and files I had deleted. I'm fairly confident that I have nothing on my system that is a threat.

    How often should I run Ad-aware and Spy-bot? I plan on running NAV on Wednesdays after getting the latest definitions.

    Any other programs I should download and install to keep my system clean?

    Thanks to everyone for their help in this matter. I've learned my lesson.

    Turn off system restore. Turn it back on. All old restore points will be gone.

    If you've used the immunize feature of spybot, then probably a once weekly update and run with it and ad-aware will keep you pretty clean.

    Obviously if you start having problems, run as needed but it probably won't be needed.

    System Restore

    Thanks Johanna and Newt for the tips.

    I plan on scanning my computer with Ad-Aware and Spy-bot on Wednesdays after I update NAV Definitions and scan with it.

    Much thanks to everyone out there for their help.
