    Hi no worries,

    1. Close any open browsers.

    2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

    3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

    Folder::

    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Viewpoint

    RegLock::

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\IMAIL]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MAPI]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS]

    Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

    CFScriptB-4.gif

    Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

    When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

    Go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

    1. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
    2. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
    3. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
    4. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
      • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
        Archives
        Mail databases

    [*]Click on My Computer under Scan.

    [*]Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.

    [*]You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....

    Please download ComboFix from

    Here or Here to your Desktop.

    **Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved and renamed following this process directly to your desktop**

    1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
      • Tools->Options->Main tab
      • Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

    [*]During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:

    CF_download_FF.gif

    CF_download_rename.gif

    [*]It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.

    [*]Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.

    [*]Close any open browsers.

    [*]Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
    • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.

      -----------------------------------------------------------


    • Close any open browsers.
    • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
    • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    [*]Double click on combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.

    [*]When finished, it will produce a report for you.

    [*]Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" for further review.

    **Note: Do not mouseclick combo-fix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

    Step #1

    Run OTL.exe

    • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

    • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
    • Let the program run unhindered, reboot when it is done

    Step #2

    Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This changed from what we know in 2006 read this article:

    http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

    I suggest you remove the program now. Click on start > run > and then paste the following into the "open" field: appwiz.cpl and press OK. From within Add or Remove Programs uninstall the following if they exist: Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player.

    Please go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following (if present):
