    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - (no file)
    Close all other windows except HijackThis and press "Fix Checked". Then close HijackThis and restart the computer.

    Please download Ewido Anti Malware it is a trial version of the program.
    • Install ewido anti malware
    • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.

    • On the left hand side of the main screen click update
    • Then click on Start Update
    The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

    Ewido manual updates

    Once the updates are installed do the following:
    • Click on scanner
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    • NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.**
      • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
      • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
      • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
      • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
    • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
    • Click Save report.
    • Save the report .txt file to your desktop. Now close Ewido anti-malware.

    Congratulations! Your computer appears to be clean.

    Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore. Click to add a check mark beside Turn off System Restore on all Drives, and click Apply. When you are warned that all existing Restore Points will be deleted, click Yes to continue. All system restore points are deleted. Now you should manually create a restore point. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore.
    Click Create a Restore Point, and then click Next. Name your restore point. (I use the date as well as a descriptive term such as "Clean system.")


    Here are a number of recommendations for additional protection to help prevent any malware infections in the future. These few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems.

    You may have already taken some of these steps:
    1. Watch what you download!
    Do not download just anything you see on the web. Some may have spyware bundled into them.

    2. Try not to use peer-to-peer programs.
    P2P programs like Grokster, Imesh, Kazaa and others are amongst the most notorious, come with an enormous amount of bundled spyware that will eat system resources, slow down your system, clash with other installed software, or just plain crash your browser or even Windows itself. If you insist on using a P2P program, please read this article written by Mike Healan of Spywareinfo.com fame. It is an updated and comprehensive article that gives in-depth detail about which P2P programs are "safe" to use.

    3. Visit Windows Update:
    Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and IE. The first defense against infection is a properly patched OS.
    Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
    We recommend checking for Windows updates monthly.

    4. Adjust your security settings for ActiveX:
    Go to Internet Options/Security/Internet, press 'default level', then OK.
    Now press "Custom Level."
    In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to 'prompt', and 'Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to 'disable'.

    So why is ActiveX so dangerous that you have to increase the security for it?
    When your browser runs an activex control, it is running an executable program. It's no different from doubleclicking an exe file on your hard drive.
    Would you run just any random file downloaded off a web site without knowing what it is and what it does?

    5. Download and install the following free programs:
    a. SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
    b. SpywareGuard: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
    Periodically check for updates.

    6. Keep your antivirus software up to date. If you don't have one, I recommend the free AVG.

    7. Use a firewall. If you don't have a firewall, I recommend the free version of ZoneAlarm
    A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here

    8. IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. Another good hosts program is mvpshosts. This little program packs a powerful punch as it block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers. For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial.


    9. You might consider installing Mozilla / Firefox, which is much safer than Internet Explorer.
    http://www.mozilla.org/

    10. Install spyware detection and removal programs:
    Ad-aware: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/adaware.html
    Spybot S&D:
    http://www.safer-networking.org
    Use these programs to regularly scan your system for and remove many forms of spyware/malware.

    11. Microsoft now offers their own anti-spyware product. Windows® Defender (Beta 2) improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over fifty (50) ways spyware can enter your PC. This is a BETA for XP/2000 only.

    12. Before using or purchasing any Spyware/Malware protection/removal program, always check the Rogue/Suspect Spyware List. It will save you a lot of grief, as well as money if you are thinking of purchasing. Here is the link: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
    If you want to know just how effective your anti-spyware program is, or how well any of the "rogue" programs listed at the above link work, check this for an independent comparison of several anti-spyware programs: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-guide.htm

    Let us know if we have not resolved your problem. Otherwise, you are good to go.
    Happy and Safe Surfing! :D

    I am already doing the majority of that, but there are a few things I will update. I am considerably aware about what I download, I don't use any peer to peer programs, yet I still have problems from time to time.

    I haven't tried to run my AVG scan since I posted my hijack log, but there is one major problem I still notice with my system: When I go to shut down my computer, the option to put it in standby is grayed out, so the only options I have are to completely shut down or restart.

    What I would really like to do is to completely wipe my system clean of everything; all data, application, files OS the works, and start from scratch. Over the years after installing different applications, patches, Win XP fixes, various updates and what not, my drive has become cluttered to where I don't know what certain folders are.

    I have tried several times to do this, but each time I install a fresh version of my OS, it simply overwrites the files on my C drive, but it doesn't completely erase everything. What ends up happening is minor problems are fixed, like my previous mouse scrolling and laptop touch pad issues but then new minor problems arrive, such as not having the ability to put computer in standby, or
    having certain files rearranged.

    Could someone please give some insight on how to do this?

    You would want a reformat in that case:

    Thanks! That's exactly what I need to do to fix the problems I'm still having. The problems I'm having my not be virus due to my system being clean. Hopefull this will work out. Your insight has been extremely helpful though.
