I hope that was Ad-aware SE v1.06.
Please download, install and update the following software...
SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser
Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

>> Follow them carefully and step-by-step.
>> All cleaning actions should be done
without internet connection
1. Download the necessary software

@ Ad-Aware SE Personal
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware
@ Microsoft Antispyware (only for genuie Windows versions)

@ Antivirus software (if you still do not have)
Panda Titanium 2005
http://www.pandasoftware.com/microsoft
>>> Specific
If you are non-XP user and still do not have firewall,
you should get free one from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/downloads/default.mspx
>>> Optional
There are some malwares that can destroy the internet connection
when you try to remove them.That's why you may get that program
that could restore your internet connection.
I haven't tried it but lots of people like them.
Win Sock XP Fix
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
2. Create a back-up of all your critical information
This is just an option.
You should check it for viruses later.
3. Run a Firewall
>> Windows XP
has integrated firewall -
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) for SP1 and
Windows Firewall (WF) for SP2
>> Windows versions different from XP
They do not have integrated firewall ,they have to use software firewall.
!!! Use only 1 firewall !!!
4. Windows Updates
Connect to internet and
download all the security updates - Critical updates with Express install.
Start -> Windows Updates
or
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
5. Install and Update
> SpyBot Search and Destroy
> Ad-Aware SE Personal
> Microsoft Antispyware
> CWShredder
6. Delete all the Internet Explorer's temporary stuff
Start -> Settings- > Control Panel -> Internet Options
There ,on the General Tab you will see where you can delete
>>internet temporary files
>>cookies
>>history
Delete them all.
7. Delete all Temporary files
| Windows XP users (all new versions) |
The path is :
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp
Delete all files from this folder
and also
C:\Windows\Temp
| Windows 98 users (all old versions) |
The path is :
C:\Windows\Temp
8. Remove any unwanted programs
Boot in Safe Mode (see how below)
Then ,in Safe Mode, Start - Settings – Control Panel – Add /Remove programs
See if you have any unknown /unwanted software
installed- toolbars and/or known spy programs.
Remove them with the REMOVE button.
Also check for tracks of these programs in
C:\Program files and delete,if any.
Then restart with booting in Normal Mode .
9. Run Disc Clean up
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disc Cleanup
Make sure you have checked :
Downloaded program files
Temporary Internet files
Temporary files
Recycle bin
Web Client/Publisher content
10. Remove viruses /worms /trojan horses
@ Scan with Microsoft Windows Malicious Software removal tool
http://www.microsoft.com/malwareremove
@ Scan with
Panda Software free Active Scan,where you can check your
PC for ALL TYPES of security threats and clean viruses and worms
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
@ Install the antivirus software
Boot in Safe Mode and install the antivirus software
<In Safe Mode,because there are viruses
that have the ability to damage an antivirus while installing it>
How to boot your computer in Safe Mode
Do this by repeatedly typing F8 while Windows is starting before
Windows logo appears.
Then you'll open the BIOS menu where you can choose to boot
the hard drive in SAFE MODE
(If you are XP user ,find more about Safe Mode
in Help and Support Center ; Start-Help and Suport)
@ Update the antivirus and scan with it
Boot in Normal Mode and update it.
Make sure you have all functions ON
(scanning all files,heuristic,disinfect,scanning for other threats...)
Perform a full scan in Normal Mode first
Then boot in Safe Mode and also perform a scan
@ While still in Safe Mode,scan with these
>> SpyBot S&D
>> Ad-Aware SE Personal
>> Microsoft Antispyware
>> CWShredder
and remove the junk
!!! They must have already been updated !!!
When the scan is finished,
DO NOT restart ,if you have Win XP or ME
>>> System Restore (for XP and ME only)
Because of the fact malware is a program,
System Restore also stores all malware tracks and when restarting,it can
replicate some infected system stuff and the malware will be back !!!
So you need to delete all the restore points before restarting :
>>> Right click on My Computer->Properties->System Restore
Check Turn off system restore.Click OK
>>> Restart the in Normal mode.
11. For better performance ,it is advisable to check your hard drives for
errors
Open My computer .
Then right click on the hard drive you want to check -> Properties -> Tools
In the error-checking area ,click "Check now" to start the process.
>>> At the end (when the system is malware-free)
again Right click on My computer->Properties->System Restore
Uncheck Turn off system restore ,so you'll have your Restore function ON.
Microsoft Antispyware has a very good browser restore function so you have
the ability to restore your browser settings if the browser was hijacked.
Open MSAS - Advanced tool
After these,your computer should be clean !
