Hi zubu.

-

When we're done cleaning off your system, i'd recommend that you install all the critical windows updates available from Microsoft, upto service pack 1. This will help to make your system more secure and prevent many 'problems' from reoccuring in the future.

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

Download, then unzip to "C:\HJT", the newest version of HiJackThis; version 1.99.1. Then repost your log, either now, or after following the steps in the solution (if provided in this post). This version has features that might be more helpful in 'cleaning' up your system.

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

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Config..."
2. Click "Misc Tools"
3. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.
===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [FX] C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ieloader.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [usbn] C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe -go -c156 -w

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{C919E186-C04D-4F2A-84ED-71827B91D7BD}: NameServer = 196.2.24.10 196.2.45.101
...(Verify that these ip addresses are for your isp's DNS Servers, if so, don't 'fix' these.)


Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ieloader.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them from "Safe Mode".

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

Post back a new log after rebooting and let me know how everything goes.

zubu

Thanks,gonna try it soon as i get the new hijackthis, buthow do I know whether those ip addresses are for my isp's dns servers?

Crunchie

If you are in Africa, I think they are yours.

zubu

cheers

Crunchie

You are welome.
