Well done. Just what I was looking for.

Download the RegFix.zip file I have attached to this post.

Unzip to its own folder.

Open Folder and double click on the RunFix.reg file.
Answer 'Yes' to merge it into your registry.

Go to start>run and type msconfig, hit enter. On the General tab click the advanced button. Check the box to 'enable start menu' and OK out. Restart and choose safe mode.

You will need to show hidden files and folders.


Open C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Locate the file comi.dll.
Right click, select 'Properties' and remove any 'Read only' protection.
Right click again and select 'Delete'.


Open CWShredder and click fix.

Open C:\Temp (if present), select all and delete.
Open C:\Windows\Temp, select all and delete.
Open C:\Windows\Applog, select all and delete.

Open Ad-aware and run. Delete all it finds. If it won't complete a scan, continue on with the rest of the instructions.

Open My Computer and right click Local Disk C:, then choose disk cleanup. Check all except compress old files and OK.

Again, open the RunFix folder, this time double click the ScanRegFix.reg file. Answer 'Yes' to merge it into your registry.

Uncheck the box to 'enable start menu' in msconfig and OK out. Reboot.

Back in Windows, run another HijackThis scan and post the log.

Looks clean, but I still don't see the scanreg run entry. Did you merge the scanreg file? Try again and reboot. Do another HJT scan and see if the 04 HKLM...[Scan Registry] scanregw.exe entry is there. Did Ad-aware run successfully? Any other problems?

Is that the pro version of NetPumper?
