Best Answer: it is called malware
an infection that tries to get u to pay for a fake program
restart ur pc –start tapping f8 —this is sending u to safe mode —on there u will have options —pick safe mode with internet
when u get to the funny looking screen that looks like ur desktop screen– get on line as normal
than download these 2 programs—they are free
www.malwarebytes anti-malware.com
www.superantispyware.com
up date the programs
do full scan with each
the scan will take time so do not stop them –it depends of how many programs and files are on ur comp
remove or delete all they find
Re:PestScan (http://www.netpgh.com/pestscan) will tell you location of all the spyware. Either get the program or remove the spyware manually.
Re:Yup – do what guy said. Then rerun your HJT and repost it.
Re:1st Run LSP-Fix (http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm)
[b]2nd Run CWS smartkiller removal tool (http://www.safer-networking.org/files/delcwssk.zip)
3rd Run CWShredder (http://www.softpedia.com/public/scripts/downloadhero/10-17-150/) check for updates and run
4th Run Spybot search and destroy (http://www.tucows.com/adnload/310138_117317.html)
check for updates and install them then Check for problems and fix problems, Reboot if prompted at the end and fix problems after it scans on boot up, then go into immunize and immunize it, block bad pages silently and check the boxes down on the bottom to prevent hijacking
5th Run Adaware (http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=506&file=3&evp=8dbaff7daca8f4b55bf695220993fc0f)
update it, scan and delete the problems found
6th Run Spyware blaster (http://www.webattack.com/dlnow/rdir.dll?id=105693) and keep spyware from being installed, update first then apply the new ones
NOTE: if spyware blaster says msvbvm60.dll is missing, install this (http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe) or if it says MSCOMCTL.OCX cannot be found, install this (http://www.javacoolsoftware.net/downloads/missingfilesetup.exe)
7th for even more protection, try spyware guard (http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlspywareguard.html), it functions much like zonealarm, except for spybots, with an item in your tray, and will help in real-time spyware protection.
NOTE: if spyware guard says msvbvm60.dll is missing, install this (http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe) or if it says MSCOMCTL.OCX cannot be found, install this (http://www.javacoolsoftware.net/downloads/missingfilesetup.exe)
8th Make sure your AntiVirus is up to date and do a full system scan. if you have no antivirus, you need to get AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php), a freeware antivirus that some people say rivals NAV.
9th make sure your firewall is up to date (to test your firewall, go here (http://grc.com) and run shields up!) and if you have no firewall, you need to get zonealarm (http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1012_zl/zlsSetup_45_538_001.exe)
10th check your IE explorer settings (Tools>internet options>privacy) to make sure privacy is set on at least medium and security setting (Tools>internet options>security) is likewise and reset your homepage manually
Note: rember to keep all of these programs updated and run spybotsearch and destroy and adaware scans once a month at least.
11th If all else fails to fix your hijacking/spyware problems, run hijackthis (http://216.180.233.163/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) and startup list (http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/startuplist1521.zip) and post their logs on AT forums, in the meantime try firefox (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.8/FirefoxSetup-0.8.exe), a great alternative to internet explorer that usually has less problems with spyware and hijacking
Re:Get Adaware and Spybot S&D (update them both first) and run them both.
A quick glance tells me your Hosts file is packed with nasties.
