virus and spyware attack

A little bit of work for you :).

-

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

BetterInternet

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Download and install Ad-Aware SE,

If you don't already have it, let's go to Lavasoft's VX2 Cleaner web-page, and follow the instructions to download and install the utility.

-

Next, run AdAware SE Personal, then:

1. Click "Add-Ons".
2. Double-click "VX2 Cleaner"
3. Click "Ok", to "Execute this tool".
4. If nothing is found, click "Ok", then exit the program.

(or)

4. If [color=#ff0000VX2</font] has been found on your system, click "Clean System"
5. Then when it's complelely done, reboot your computer.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 again.

Be sure to follow any instructions it might give while using it.

===============

Download the Adware.Istbar removal utility from Symantec and following the instructions on the same page.

===============

Now, let's open a command prompt by going to the start menu and then select 'Run'.

In the box that pops up type in 'cmd'. The command prompt will open.

OR

You can go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u CERES.DLL
regsvr32 /u NEM220.DLL
regsvr32 /u Loader.dll
regsvr32 /u MSBE.DLL
regsvr32 /u YSB.DLL
regsvr32 /u mfiltis.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save typing them in.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\NSP4361.TMP
C:\PROGRAM FILES\ISTSVC\ISTSVC.EXE

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:
