Could someone lend this fella a hand?

jmoney3457

hi matt, do you happen to have a dell? if so dell computers come pre installed with MWS and for some reason they've taken out the uninstaller of it (it can be uninstalled but its a VERY Long process) i can help you through it though:smiles:

profdlp

If it is a Dell, the attached program might be useful.

jmoney3457

thanks prof, i wasn't aware of that tool, mathew please use the tool prof has attached to his post and if that doesn't work/any problems occur post back and if it does work please return with a new HJT Log so i can check it:smiles:

matthewp

Sorry no it's not a Dell... Thank you though. Any other suggestions?

matthewp

Thanks Skywalker45...

Here's the log from new scan, run from desktop.

I'm all ears...
Ta
Matt

I have merged both your threads you started into one as to avoid confusing mathew please keep all your future posts in this thread and do NOT create another thread

matthewp

Apologies for confusion. Just trying different users since i'd got no response initially. Thanks to all...

Matt

jmoney3457

no problem, but please do this: open HJT and Click the Config... button, then go to the Misc Tools section.
- Click on Open Uninstall Manager. You'll see a list of programs.
- Click on Save List...

The file "uninstall_list.txt" will be created. Copy and paste the contents of this file to your next reply.

jmoney3457

thank you skywalker no worries now mathew lets continue:Next, your version of Sun Java is outdated and should be updated.

• Download the offline installer from HERE.
  • Accept the License Agreement
  • Select "Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language".
  • Save the file to your Desktop.
• Next, uninstall your currently installed version from Add or Remove Programs.
• If you have older versions listed uninstall them also. If you simply update to the new version,
  it leaves the older version(s) still installed, complete with previous vulnerabilities.
  - Examples of older versions in Add or Remove Programs:
  • Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
  • J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
  • J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
• Restart your system.
• Install the new version by double-clicking on the file you downloaded.

matthewp

Ok all done as above.

What would be next?

Thanks again...
Matt

jmoney3457

do you use these 2 programs alot? if not i'd suggest uninstalling them-->BitComet 0.60
BitComet Toolbar let me know what you decide and also please post new hjt log

matthewp

Thanks, all done

please run the following scanner..its a basic spyware scanner/remover and it scans from A-Z it won't create a report at the end so don't worry about that, when/if it picks up malware it'll prompt you to either ignore or remove obviously click remove and when its finished reboot and post new HJT log along with what it removed if possible-->http://www.xblock.com/download/xclean_micro.exe

matthewp

Nothing found, seems to scan through a load of known spyware and then close. Do you want another HJT log?
Cheers again
Matt

jmoney3457

yes it scans spyware A-Z and #s but thats good it didnt find anything yes please post new hjt:smiles:

Hi there,
Yeah, appears to be clear but sometimes still getting Bit Defender warnings that BD is blocking My Web Search (various forms) when I open browsers... Ran Spybot S&D which normally found MWS, but now not finding anything. Any suggestions?

Thanks

please do the following (in order): 1st Make sure that you can see hidden files.

1. Click Start.
2. Click My Computer.
3. Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
4. Select the View Tab.
5. Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
6. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
7. Click Yes to confirm.
8. Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known file types.
9. Click OK.

then First download ewido anti-spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.

1. Once you have downloaded ewido anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
2. Once the setup is complete you will need to run ewido and update the definition files.
3. On the main screen select the "Update" icon then click "Start Update". The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
4. Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
5. Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
6. Under "Reports"
   • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
   • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"

Close ewido anti-spyware and reboot your computer into Safe Mode.

1. Lauch ewido-anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
   IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess.
2. Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan"
3. Ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
4. Ewido will list any infections found on the left hand side. When the scan has finished, it should automatically set the recommended action to Quarantine--if not click on Recommended Action and set it there. Click the Apply all actions button. Ewido will display "All actions have been applied" on the right hand side.
5. Click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again (like on the Desktop).
6. Close ewido & post that report in your next reply please

Hi there,

Only just been able to get onto the forum today, after trying for a few days- has the site been down?
Anyway, did a virus scan of my browser folders in C: Program files, and managed to qurantine and delete a MWS file. I think that's it!
If so, thanks ever so much for all your help. You've been ace. If not... May post again shortly!
Cheers!!
Matt
