David [Guidance requested in removing Zipzappromos]

Copy the quote box below to a blank notepad. Make sure the formatting stays the same. Save it to your desktop as rem.reg, being sure to change the Save As Type to All Files (*.*)

Reboot to safe mode and double click the reg file, allowing it to merge to the registry.

Click start>run and type cmd, hit enter. In the command window, type del C:\windows\system32\bzyucfeds.exe or save the command to text and copy/paste it, then hit enter.
Empty the contents of C:\Windows\Temp, C:\Windows\Prefetch.
Run disk cleanup.

Reboot back into Windows and let us know if the popups have stopped.

Post a new HJT log.

 

Dear Dave,
Have attended to your last posting, eg Quote box rem.reg changed to All Files, safe boot and merge to registry, cmd type del C:\ etc , empty Windows\Temp and Windows Prefetch and reboot and log posted below.
Will post now to see if my log looks ok, and come back at the end of the day if this nasty reappears, or not.

Dear Dave,
Online for 4 hours and not a zipzap in sight. First time since December. I hope this is now the end of this huge irritation, for which I am immensley grateful to you.
Should I keep all the downloaded Programmes for a while or should I clear them all out. ie Hijack this, ie-spyaid Reminst etc.,Infact what is worth keeping and what is not
Regards
DD

 

You definately want to keep IESpyad. It adds zipzappromos.com to the restricted zone. The files you downloaded and/or created from here can go. HijackThis is optional. It is freely available and may be updated again before you need it again (if).

Did you get the newer version of Ad-aware, SE Personal 1.05?

Glad to hear the popups are gone, and happy to help.
