Media-Motor/Diamond Dollz

I have been getting a persistent pop-up ad from Media-Motor that's titled something from Diamond Dollz. I've used Clean Cache, Spybot, Ad-Aware & Norton Anti-Virus but it still keeps popping up. I've also checked in the registry & have found nothing. It's really not doing anything to my computer, just an annoyance. Here is my HiJackThis log file. Thanks in advance for any help you may give.

    Download this tool and run it.

    Please make sure that you can VIEW ALL HIDDEN FILES.

    Place a checkmark next to these entries, close all browsers and windows, and have HijackThis fix them by clicking Fix Checked:

    Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE

    Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist):

    C:\WINNT\system32\ntservice.exe
    C:\WINNT\xkgsvuyn.exe
    C:\Program Files\E2G
    Z:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\System.exe



    Run FixMumu.exe once more while in Safe mode.



    Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode.



    Please run at least two of these online scans.
    Make sure they are set to clean automatically

    Panda Virus Scan

    Bit Defender

    TrendMicro Housecall

    There will be files that these scans will not remove. Please include that information in your next post.


    Reboot and post a new hijackthis log and the info from your virus scans.

      Sorry. I have KillBox downloaded, but I'm not understanding how to launch it & get all those lines you want highlighted.

      First you have to unzip it. If you double click on Killbox.zip you should find that you have a program that will ask you where you want to extract the file to. For convenience you may want to just put it on your desktop.

      Then all you need to do is hilight the list of files, right click and select copy. Then just follow the rest of the steps...

      # Now go to the Killbox application and click on the File menu and then the Paste from Clipboard menu item. In the Full Path of File to Delete box you should see the first file. If you dropdown that box you should see the rest of them. Make sure that they are all there.
      # Click on the Delete on Reboot option and then click on the red circle with a white 'X' in to to delete the files. Killbox will tell you that all listed files will be deleted on next reboot, click YES. When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, click YES.

      Your log is clean.

      Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
      1. Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point left over from what we have just cleaned.

        You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

        Managing Windows Millenium System Restore

        or

        Windows XP System Restore Guide

        Renable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

      2. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
        1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
        2. Click once on the Security tab
        3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
        4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
          1. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
          2. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
          3. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
          4. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
          5. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
          6. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
          7. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
          8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
        5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

      3. Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

        See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

        Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

      4. Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

      5. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

        For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

      6. Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
