Help with Home Search Assistant PLEASE!!!

[Davese41]

First, thank you guys for all of the helpful information that you have posted on this already. Your efforts are appreciated. I'm having trouble getting the BackDoor-BDD trojan from my PC. I've tried following the steps posted by Dexter; however, I get stuck on step 4 as I don't have any of the three services that he lists (Network Security Service, Workstation NetLogon Service or Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper).

I've attached my HijackThis log and my Current Active Services list below and am hoping that someone can help me get rid of this. Thank you in advance.

Please post a normal HijackThis log.

I am not sure if this would also be on your pc, but I just got rid of "home search" by following the instructions in this forum, but also noticed that in my "windows/systems32" file were hundreds of dll's with a value of 55KB ( and no description when you move the mouse over it, only 2 lines with name and size) and all were 5 letters long. I deleted all of the 55Kb files and all of the exe's with 0Kb value (also 5 letters long) in windows and windows/systems 32.
Have not had the virus back and pc running nicely now.

Fix those entries then find and delete the files listed above, reboot and post a new log.

I deleted the ones that I could find, but I'm guessing that I missed some. Any ideas on how to find them? Thanks!!!

Fix those entries then find and delete adogw.dll, reboot and post a new log.

[Davese41]

I can't find the adogw.dll file anywhere. I've physically gone into the system32 directory, I've searched My Computer for the filename and I've searched My Computer for all files with .dll extensions. It doesn't come up anywhere. Any ideas on how to find it?

Thanks.

[SpywareShooter]

Do you have hidden files and folders showing? If not, set them to show (open My Computer and select Tools»Options»Viewing»Hidden files and Folders). Have you rebooted or used Internet Explorer since the last log? If you have, scan with HijackThis again, and delete the .dll file that shows up in the R1 entries. Using IE or rebooting resets the filenames unless they are deleted.

[Davese41]

Here's the lastest log. I double checked the file view settings and I had the hidden files and folders checked to be shown. On this log the adogw.dll file is gone. I assume it will show up again when I reboot? I'm going to do that now...

I've rebooted and it looks like the adogw.dll file is gone. The hijackthis log looks the same, but I'm posting it anyway just in case there's anything left. Let me know if everything looks OK.

Thanks again!!!
