    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    Thanks for taking the time to read up and get a jump start on your infection removal, makes life a lil bit easier for everyone. Lets finish up here and see how things go.

    Please go to Add/Remove, and if found, uninstall the following:
    Zango\180Solutions
    WildTangent
    <<<---WildTangent is typically bundled with AOL's AIM, and more times than not is not required.

    Run Hijackthis and look over the following entries I have listed, check the boxes next to them and press the "Fix Checked" button with HijackThis. When you are doing this, make sure you have No IE windows, or other browsers open, including this one. Reboot if I have specified below, and post a fresh HijackThis log.

    Reboot, into safe mode, this way:
    Turn on the computer
    Immediately begin tapping the <F8> key.
    Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the <Enter> key.

    Also, enable the 'Show Hidden Folders' option, like this:
    Click Start.
    Open My Computer.
    Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    Click Yes to confirm.
    Click OK.

    And search for, then delete, if found, (some may not be present after previous steps) the following files/folders:
    C:\Program Files\Zango Programs<<<<---folder
    C:\Program Files\WildTangent<<<<---folder
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp100.tmp <<<--file

    To exit Safe Mode, click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, click Restart.

    Post a new HJT log back into this thread please.

    Nice work, your log file appears to be free and clear of any malwares. Are you experiencing any other problems whic may be related?

    Let me know.

    To increase your syetmes performance you may want to trim some of the unneccessary components from starting. Here is an excellent site for that:

    Just go to the appropriate letter, and search for the process/exe, they will give good detailed info regarding it, we use it quite often.

    Now that you have regained control of your machine, lets keep it clean. Please follow the links below to ensure the highest possible level of protection against any further invasions. The links and the apps are some of the most highly regarded apps in the field of security/protection & detection. Run AdAware & Spybot at least once a week, depending on your surfing habits.
    Spybot Search & Destroy v1.4
    Ad-Aware SE Free v1.06r

    With AdAware and Spybot: DL, check for updates, then scan, repair/remove/quarantine anything found. Reboot before next scan with whichever app is next.

    SpywareBlaster
    SpywareBlaster protects your machine against known ActiveX installs.
    With Spyware Blaster, just DL, check for updates, enable protection, and your done!

    To avoid known malware infested sites from loading in IE install IESPY ADS.
    And MVPS Hosts File will provide another layer of protection.

    And to prevent unknown applications from being installed on your machine inistall WinPatrol v9.8.1.0.

    Tutorials for all can be found on my site as well.

    Confused about which apps are good or not? Read about Rogue/Approved Anti Security apps

    And just because you have security apps installed, they are useless unless updated regularly. Keep track of updates for ALL your security needs here:
    Calendar of Updates

    Subscribe to update alerts for all the above security apps here.

    You can also see my own ongoing security testing with all the above apps proving how securely you can safe with them installed.

    Happy surfing!

    Thanks for your guidance. I have Norton installed and it updates and autochecks once a week, but, although it recognised the initial problem, it didn't cure it and it failed to pick up any of the residual stuff we've just dealt with. Also, the system has felt like turning a battleship in a canal since it's been on. Is it worth keeping if I do the other stuff you suggest?

    Is the Norton product one of the all inclusive av\firewall\anti-spyware type of suites? If so, and you have not purchased it yet or you can get any refund, I would suggest you either not purchase it or get a refund.

    Most all of these types of all-in-one packages are sub par as they do not cover all categories well, usually just working ok.

    You're better off having stand alone applications with the exception of perhaps something like an av\firewall combo.

    Also remember, unless the Norton app is the one which includes malware detection, your standard av apps will not be able to fully detect and remove most malwares as they behave differently.

    Hope that helps some, let me know if you have any other questions.
