Hey,

OTMoveIt cleaned up itself, no need to post a log from it.

Can you please post the following two

  • c:\output.txt
  • and the log that opens in notepad after running the above command

I'm a bit confused, so after going to start >> run >> cmd I have to type "output.txt" and then post the log that opens right there, correct?

Nice job your log looks clean!

I am glad to hear everything is back to normal!

Please use the following suggestions to help prevent reinfection.

Also, you may delete any tools I had you download during the cleaning process.

System Restore maintains a backup of your programs and may also backup infections, so please reset it to make a clean Restore Point.

Please do this:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer > click Properties > click the System Restore tab.

Check Turn off System Restore.

Click Apply > a window will pop up and ask if you really want to turn it off > click Yes.

Please wait a few moments to let it clear.

Now please remove the check from Turn off System Restore.

Click Apply, and then click OK.

System Restore will be working again and will have a new Restore Point.

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people to help 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**

MVPS Hosts file - This handy download replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad/malicous sites. This prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

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**

Internet Browser - Internet Explorer is not the safest not the fastest internew browser anymore. There are way better alternatives out there that are faster, more secure, and have many more useful features. I recommend Opera or Firefox

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 Spyware Blaster and MBAM 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 action-smiley-036.gifHow did I get infected in the first place? (by Tony Klein)

Good luck and safe surfing :)
