Winfixer and associated pop-ups; HJT log

Hi,

I keep getting pop-ups from "WinFixer" and some sort of adult website while navigating the web. Additionally, until just recently, when WinFixer popped up, it would put an Active X box on the desktop that could not be closed by clicking x. The only way to close this particular box was to use the task manager.

Today I ran Ad-aware, Spybot S&D & downloaded the latest update of Spyware Blaster. Ad-aware noted several items, including Virtumonde, which I had it remove. On re-scanning, no substantial items were present. On running Spybot, no items whatsoever were found. Unfortunately, these pop-ups and WinFixer's dreaded Active X box remain.

I just ran HJT, and here is my log:

I've had a couple of experiences with Spyware and have a couple of associated questions:

1) Can anyone recommend a good anti-virus program? I'm using Norton right now, and it seems that it's not exactly foolproof (although I may be to blame as well).

2) I would be interested in learning a bit about how to go about utilizing HJT logs and generally becoming more informed on the technical aspects of spyware removal. I'd love to be able to help others, and of course, it would be great to be able to help myself, rather than take valuable time from the other members.

Thanks in advance for all the help, and my apologies for a long-winded post.

    Please print these instructions out for use in Safe Mode.

    Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
    • Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files
    • This will create a VundoFix folder on your desktop.
    • After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
    • Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
    • You will first be presented with a warning.
      It should look like this
      VundoFix V2.1 by Atri
      By pressing enter you agree that you are using this at your own risk.
    • At this point press enter one time.
    • Next you will see:
      Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
      Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.
    • At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):

        C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhff.dll

      [*]Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.
      [*] Next you will see:
      Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum staff
      Then Press Enter, Then F6, Then Enter Again to continue with the fix.
      [*]At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):

        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ffhkj.*



        [*]Press Enter, then press the F6 key, then press Enter one more time to continue with the fix.

        [*]The fix will run then HijackThis will open.
        [*]In HijackThis, please place a check next to the following items and click FIX CHECKED:

          O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {79A576C4-B7A9-47EC-B57C-2CE5CA6ECC6A} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhff.dll

          O20 - Winlogon Notify: jkhff - C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhff.dll



          [*]After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis and Press any key to Force a reboot of your computer.
          [*]Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!
          [*]Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.


          Then, please run this online virus scan: ActiveScan

          Copy the results of the ActiveScan and paste them here along with a new HijackThis log and the vundofix.txt file from the vundofix folder into this topic.
