[Reboot]
    • Then click the [color= "#FF0000"]Run Fix[/color] button at the top
    • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
    • You will get a log that shows the results of the fix. Please post it.

    ===============================================================

    Your computer is clean :)

    1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

    Run OTL

    • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

    Code:
    :OTL
:Commands
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]
    • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
    • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
    • Post resulting log.

    2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

    Clean up with OTL:

    • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
    • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
    • On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
    • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

    If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

    3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

    4. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

    5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

    6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

    7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

    8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

    9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
    The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

    10. Run defrag at your convenience.

    11. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

    12. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.

    I will proceed with the recommended clean up steps, and get back with a report on what we have accomplished. In the interim the final OTL scan results are as follows:

    OKay, as promised I am reporting on what has been accomplished with the virus removals and resulting performance of the computer. :)

    The speed of the computer has greatly increased, it is probably is 'maxed out' as it can be considering the small amount of memory available. I cannot really do much about that shortcoming, but the cleaning of things the machine is doing great.

    Additional to the clean up, I snuck up on some saved games that were taking up a lot of memory and tossed those, I am sure they will never be missed! I also deleted Super Antispyware as it seemed to be taking an extraordairly long time to load when booting up. Those two things did seem to help matters somewhat, I intend to reload a new copy of the Super Antispyware and see what that might do to performance.

    Sooooooooooo in summation, Broni's patient understanding and knowledge has removed another computer from cyber ICU and put it back in the useful work force.

    Many thanks for all the help!

    I believe we can close this out as another successfully completed case!

    Very well :)

    Make sure, you disable it as a startup. Free version doesn't do anything in a real time, so there is no reason for it to be a startup.

    Good luck and stay safe :)
