Hi Fossil

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)
and save it to your desktop.

When you have done this, please boot into Safe Mode (Tap F8 during startup).

Rightclick on the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All. Open the extracted folder - C:\ SDFix and doubleclick on RunThis.bat to start the script.

Type Y to begin the script. It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot. When you hit any key, your computer will reboot. Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.

When your desktop loads, the utility will complete the removal and display Finished. Press any key again to end the script and load your desktop icons.

Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of Report.txt back in this thread along with fresh hijackthis log, and tell how things are running

Do NOT post your problem in someone elses thread.

Start a new topic so that it may receive proper attention.

No need to disable systemrestore - yet ;-)

Please download free Trial of Superantispyware

http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it.

close the program

Please download ATF Cleaner:

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1 by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only

Download and install DrWebCureit:

ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

http://spywareinfo.dk/download/drweb-cureit.exe

to your desktop.

Run Hijackthis and place a check beside each of the following. Close all other browser windows except HJT.

Click fix checked.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =

O4 - Startup: LimeWire On Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad as you will be in Safe Mode and unable to refer to this page.

Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded.

The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears.

Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected.

Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

Delete the following files or folders (delete item in bold). Please do not be concerned if

any of the items are not found as they may have been automatically removed by actions I had

you take earlier in the cleaning process.

Open Folder Options in Controlpanel >view and check your settings:

Display the contents of system folders

Uncheck: Hide protected operating system files

Check the boxes to the left of:
Windows Temp

It will first make a quick scan of your system, let it clean what it find, and when it says "done"

Click on the green screwdriver-

After the scan, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list

Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv

Close Dr.Web Cureit.

Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.

After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.

Start Superantispyware/rightclick on the black/yellow bug in tray.

Hit - Scan Your Computer - button

Click on the drive(s) you want to scan. Put a check in - Perform Complete Scan, then next,

it will scan now. When scan have finished, put a checkmark with all items it found. Next, after cleaning, allow it to Reboot

Glad to help smile

Just a correction - SDFix in no threat and it is safe to use -

process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs as a "RiskTool". It is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

As You can see -HPFix.reg;C:\SDFix\apps;Trojan.StartPage.1505;Deleted.; - is a infection SdFix have taking care of

To completely and immediately remove any infected file or files in the data store, turn off and then turn on System Restore. To do so, follow these steps:
System Restore

Here are some additional software you may wish to consider using, to prevent malicious software installing in your PC - >

IE-SPYADS IE-SPYAD is a Registry file (IE-ADS.REG) that adds a long list of known ad/spy servers and domains to the "Restricted Zone" of Internet Explorer. (Choose between IE-SPYAD and IE-SPYAD2). Freeware

Spyware Guard Background process to check applications as they begin to run for known spyware and malicious code, produces an alert if necessary.

Freeware.

SpywareBlaster From the same company as Spyware guard, this is not a scanner, it blocks malicious objects and code from being downloaded, in addition to blocking access to sites known to download malware. Spyware Blaster runs silently in the background and does not need to be open to protect your PC.

Freeware

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date

Do NOT post your problem in someone elses thread.

Start a new topic so that it may receive proper attention.
