Winfixer Problem

Everytime I get on the internet a winfixer popup comes on my screen. Also, my internet will freeze constantly when I am on the internet. I have run a virus scan, adaware, and spybot, but none of that has worked thus far. Here is my log from HijackThis:

    • Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat

                Sorry for the delay.......Christmas :D.

                Can you please do the following.

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

                Before we begin, let's move HiJackThis to it's own folder; like c:\HJT. When we're done 'cleaning' off your system, we're going to 'flush' the temporary folders which, with HiJackThis in it's current location, we'll lose both the program and the backups it creates. These backups are important in case we need to restore any 'fixed' entry(s) later.

                Also move the "Backups" folder, for HiJackThis, if present.

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

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


                R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
                R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
                R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway

                O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {B313D637-F405-4052-AC37-E2119AB3C8F8} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhh.dll (file missing)

                O9 - Extra button: PartyPoker.com - {B7FE5D70-9AA2-40F1-9C6B-12A255F085E1} - C:\Program Files\PartyPoker\PartyPoker.exe

                O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmkhh - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkhh.dll (file missing)


                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:\Program Files\PartyPoker

                -

                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.

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

                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. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

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

                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.

                -

                Happy surfing,

                crunchie.
