Mysterious Pop-ups

Hi,

After running Ad-aware and Spybot, I still have some random IE popups as well as slowed system performance and I cannot identify the cause. I've done my best to go through the HijackThis log but I'm definitely not positive what is causing the problems. Here's the HijackThis log - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!

    Can you please do the following.

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

    Please visit at least two of the following sites for an online virus scan:

    BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php
    Make sure you tick AutoClean under Scan Options.

    Panda ActiveScan
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
    Make sure you tick Disinfect automatically under Scan Options.

    Housecall at TrendMicro
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
    Make sure you tick Auto Clean.
    When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

    eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner
    http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx

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

    Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

    1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

    run.exe*

    2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

    Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

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

    Next, Open a command prompt by:

    1. Clicking "Start", then "Run...".
    2. Enter "cmd" (without the quotes).
    3. Enter "services.msc" (without the quotes).

    -

    Now, locate and 'stop' the following services, if present:

    Command Service (cmdService) owner ... (C:\WINDOWS\UGVhcG9k\command.exe)

    Look carefully, since the name of the service (above) can be anywhere in the entry; also be careful not to 'stop' any required system services. Once stopped, set this service to disabled.

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

    Run HiJackThis then:

    1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
    2. Click "Open Process manager"

    -

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

    C:\WINDOWS\UGVhcG9k\command.exe
    C:\windows\sp2update00.exe
    C:\PROGRA~1\SECRET~1\run.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.

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

    Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [msresearch] C:\windows\msresearch.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sp2update] C:\windows\sp2update00.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SecretSmileys] C:\PROGRA~1\SECRET~1\ss.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [irqq] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\irqq\irqqm.exe

    O23 - Service: Command Service (cmdService) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\UGVhcG9k\command.exe


    Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

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

    folders...

    C:\WINDOWS\UGVhcG9k
    C:\PROGRA~1\SECRET~1
    C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\irqq

    files...

    C:\windows\sp2update00.exe
    C:\windows\msresearch.exe

    -

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

    -

    Reboot.

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

    After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
