Novice user needs help

Hi all.

I am a relitivly new user when it comes to getyting rid of viruses etc, so here's my situation, hope you can help.

I have an antivirus program called AVG, also have microsoft antispyware. I recieved a file from a friend (so called!) that had a trojan virus that my computer picked up and removed. I thought that did the trick, however, i now have windows popping up all the time, advertising stuff.

Anyway, i have since purchased the following products:

Spyware Doctor
Registry Fix
Ad-Adware

and have downloaded (reffered by another firend) Hijack this, and cwshredder.

All of these pick things up, however, i still get the dam windows appearing.

Here's the log from hijackthis:

    Hi,

    Step 1

    Please move HJT to its own folder on your C: so backups can be created. Do this before continuing.


    Step 2

    Go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and look for the following

    RSSoft

    If found, please uninstall.


    Step 3

    Check the following in HJT and click 'Fix Checked'

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Red Swoosh EDN Client] C:\Program Files\RSSoft\RSEDNClient.exe

    O16 - DPF: {FF0C042C-98E9-4C36-B2EC-E21FDFDCEF75} (InstallCtl Class) - http://download.redswoosh.net/Installer/rssoft.cab


    Step 4

    Find and Delete

    C:\Program Files\RSSoft << this folder


    Step 5

    Download Ewido Security Suite
    1. Install ewido security suite
    2. When installing the program, under "Additonal Options" uncheck..
      • Install background guard
      • Install scan via context menu
    3. Launch ewido, there should now be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
    4. The program will now open to the main screen.
    5. When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
    6. You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files:
      • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
      • Then click on Start Update.
    7. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
      (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")

    If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update ewido.
    Ewido Manual Updates

    Once the updates are installed, do the following:
    1. Click on scanner.
    2. Click on Complete System Scan, the scan will now begin.
    3. While the scan is in progress you will be promted to clean files, click OK.
    4. When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.
    5. Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located at the bottom of the screen named Save Report.
    6. Click Save Report.
    7. Now save the report .txt file to your desktop.


    Step 6

    Reboot and post a new HJT log :)

    Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

    Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

    Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the instructions there.

    Better yet, use an alternative browser! Download FireFox and give it a run. It is far more secure than Internet Explorer. Or, you can get Opera which in my opinion, is better still.

    Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables.

    Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot S&D.
    Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

    Install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster 3.4

    Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

    Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others.


    Clear your Temp folders.
    Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
    Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

    Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
    delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

    Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

    Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

    In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

    Empty the Recycle Bin.

    For XP users.
    After something like this it is a good idea to Flush the Restore Points and start fresh.
    To flush the XP system Restore Points.

    Go to Start>Run and type msconfig. Press enter.

    When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
    On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.

    Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.

    Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

    Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

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

    If you have any more problems, post back.
