Fix those entries then find and delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msmsgs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hookdump.exe

Then reboot your computer and post a new log.

I must be doing something wrong. I used HJT and selected the items suggested above, but when I said to "Fix checked", it asked me if I was sure I wanted to do it, and then when I clicked okay, I wound up back at the same initial, pre-scan screen in HJT. When I re-ran the scan, it looked pretty much the same as before:

I even did this in safe mode once, and corrected the R1 entries (there were fewer then) and they went away on a subsequent scan. The files mentioned are no longer there (msmsgs, etc.), but I can't seem to get rid of the R1, R0, and BHO entries. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Don

You aren't doing anything wrong . This piece of spyware often takes multiple attempts to remove.

Fix those entries then find and delete any files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ with this name:

hp****.tmp

Where * represents a random character.

Then reboot and post a new log.

ultim8guy

Okay. I tried this several times, and each time the random name of the hp****.tmp file was different, but there was ALWAYS one there. I selected and fixed the 9 items, went to safe mode to delete hp****.tmp (couldn't do it otherwise), and then rebooted back to my standard environment. If I scanned again, all items were still there, and a new hp****.tmp file was there!

Still in Safe Mode, find and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp****.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shnlog.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\intmon.exe

Then boot back into Normal Mode and post a new log.

ultim8guy

Thank you! That did it. I also did it in that order, and shnlog.exe was the main culprit. I figured if I deleted one of them and the hp****.tmp, if it came back it was the other one. Then, when I booted back to normal mode, the HJT log showed the R1, R0, and O2 entries were still gone, AND I was able to go in and delete intmon.exe in Normal mode since it was no longer running.

Here's my latest log, just in case you see something else than needs work:

Your log is now clean!

As precaution measures for the future, please follow these steps to ensure that your computer stays clean and secure:

1. Always have AntiVirus software running - Having an AntiVirus is very important and can protect you in the future from all kinds of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
   
   
2. Keep your AntiVirus program updated - Without having an updated AntiVirus program you will be susceptible to any form of new malware as it is released. If your AntiVirus software has the option of Automatic Updates you should enable it. If not, visit the producer's website at least once a week and download any updates for the product.
   
   
3. Use a Firewall - Using a firewall is essential in the Internet today. Having one at default settings will block intruders from accessing your computer and can block new programs from installing without your consent.
   
   
4. WindowsUpdate - Make sure that you keep your computer updated by visiting [link=http://www.windowsupdate.com]windowsupdate.com[/link] weekly, and downloading any critical updates. Many of these updates are against hackers and malware installations. Without all critical updates you will be susceptible to many of the spyware creator's tricks to get you to install their software. Download and install all critical updates and reboot your computer. Continue this until all critical updates have been installed.
   
   
5. Anti-Spyware Software - Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE
   
   Both of these programs are free and reccomended by many anti-spyware professionals. You should download them from the links below, keep them updated, and scan weekly.
