Please use the following suggestions to help prevent reinfection.
Also, you may delete any tools I had you download during the cleaning process.
Clearing System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. You will lose all previous Restore Points which are likely to be infected. Now we need to make a new Restore Point for your PC, please do the following:
- Right-click My Computer and select the System Restore tab.
- Click to add a check mark next to Turn off System Restore, and click OK.
- You will be warned that all existing Restore Points will be deleted, select Yes to continue.
All system restore points are deleted. Now please create a new restore point by doing the following:
- Right-click My Computer and select the System Restore tab.
- Click to remove the check mark next to Turn off System Restore, and click OK.
The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again. As a note, all of the tools and utilities mentioned are either free or have free versions available.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - A very powerful tool which searches and kills malware that infects your system.
**Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**
SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep malware from installing on your system.
**Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**
SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
**Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**
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.
**Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**
ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out malware that like to reside in the temp folders.
Firewall A firewall is very important, in order to protect your computer from hackers. I notice that you don't have one installed! Therefore I recommend Comodo, Online Armor, or Outpost.
**Tutorial on Firewalls can be found HERE**
It is important to run only one of each type of protection program in resident mode at a time since conflicts can make them less effective. This would mean only one resident antivirus, firewall and scanning type of anti-spyware. Programs like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyads do not conflict with any of these since they don't have a real time scanning engine that would conflict.
Windows Updates - It is highly recommended to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
It is also highly recommended to stay on top of your updates at all times, for Windows and all the above mentioned applications. This will ensure that you stay protected at the maximum level possible.
Finally, I strongly recommend

Hello and Welcome to the forums.
I am MoNsTeReNeRgY22 and I will be assisting you with your malware problem today.
I need you to rename Hijackthis because I suspect that you may have the Vundo infection that can hide some entries in your log.
- Please go to the folder where you saved Hijackthis.exe:
< C:\Documents and Settings\VKWD\My Documents\hijackthis\hijackthis_sfx\HijackThis.exe > - Right-click on it, then select Rename.
- Please rename it to energy.exe
- Then double-click energy.exe to scan and then post the new logfile.

This includes installing the Windows XP Recovery Console in case you have not installed it yet.
For more information on the Windows XP Recovery Console read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058.
Once you install the Recovery Console, when you reboot your computer, you'll see the option for the Recovery Console now as well. Don't select Recovery Console as we don't need it. By default, your main OS is selected there. The screen stays for 2 seconds and then it proceeds to load Windows. That is normal.
Once you have finished installing the Windows Recovery Console, please continue with the rest of the tutorial at the above link.
Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browser
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser

Step 3
Anti-virus software are programs that detect, cleanse, and erase harmful virus files on a computer, Web server, or network. Unchecked, virus files can unintentionally be forwarded to others, including trading partners and thereby spreading infection. Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software can scan the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They can alert the user if a virus is present, and will clean, delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories. Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors NOW:
1) avast! 4 Home Edition - Anti-virus program for Windows. The home edition is freeware for noncommercial users.
2) Antivir PersonalEdition Classic - Free anti-virus software for Windows. Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support.
3) PC Tools AntiVirus - Free edition of the PC Tools AntiVirus program for Windows.
Once you install one of the above programs, please update its virus defintions and run a full PC scan. Please post the log as well.
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program that has an autoprotect feature on, uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should have an autoprotect feature on at a time.
Step 4
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.
