Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and Reboot.

In Xp, here are some locations of Temp files

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Turn on System Restore

Before opening your browser goto START>CONTROL PANEL>INTERNET OPTIONS and make sure your Homepage is correct,if not ,type the URL you would like in the HomePage box.


Now re-run HJT and post a new logfile back here.


If your still having problems....

This is what I suggest you do..then Re-run HJT and Post back.


Go here and run online scans (all), allow them to delete whatever they find:




Note any thing that can't be fixed
Reboot when done.

Next:

Even if you've already run these, make SURE they're up-to-date and run per instructions.

Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of Spybot V 1.3 and Ad-aware SE Build 1.05 . All are free and available below.

Download , install and update. Then download , install, and update.

Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D

Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button "Check for Problems"
When Spybot is complete, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.

Ad-Aware FULL SCAN:

Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

it seems to be running ok now thnx

Hiyas peahead

You need to get task manager up... ctrl/alt/del and 'End process' on the following -

adaware.exe


Then turn off System Restore, close all windows and have Hijackthis fix these two


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [update] adaware.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [update] adaware.exe



Then you need to delete this, not with Hijackthis but actually delete it from the folder

C:\WINDOWS\system32\adaware.exe

(Make sure to delete it from there... not the proper Ad-Aware one in it's program file.)



Then you need to empty your temp folders and recycle bin.


Reboot


You will need to post a new Hijackthis log for us to check out.

Try the same thing with your windows search then.... keep Ava Find though you will find it really useful

Just delete the adaware.exe from System32.. I'm not sure what the other one is.

I just noticed that you asked what adaware.exe is...

It's something nasty pretending to be something good.

Let us know how you get on

About the ADAWARE.EXE-0D7A3C48.pf .... I'm pretty sure it's nasty, I've taken a screenshot of my own ad-aware.exe on my computer and note the difference in the spelling. The real version also lives in its rightful place in a Lavasoft folder in your Program Files. So I would guess the 2nd find to be nasty as well.

adaware.exe is a variant of the RapidBlaster/AInst parasite.
This parasite copies itself to new directories to spread.
If you remove it, it will reinstall itself using a new name.
Download and use it to remove this RapidBlaster variant.

i downloaded it scanned it but it didnt find anything

Then you only have ruminates left over.

To delete the adaware.exe:
Set Windows to show Hidden files and folders
Click Start.
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.

Now you should be able to see and delete c:\windows\system32\adaware.exe

You still will have to have HijackThis fix these:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [update] adaware.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [update] adaware.exe

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and Reboot.
