hi sequin,
It is really best if you start from the beginning. You may think you have exactly the same infection, but following a thread along and applying fixes made especially for another victim/user is not really a good idea. ([EDIT:] At least I hope that’s not been happening.)
Reason for that is because systems are set up differently, and infectious agents mutate all the time, and infect different machines in different ways. So, the variant you have can be very different from another user posting at the same time you are, and with what appears to be exactly the same problem.
essexboy is trained in malware removal and will know what to do with the FRST file.
Suggest starting with this link: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
Please attach, not paste, the resulting logs from these four programs:
- AdwCleaner
- Malwarebytes
- OTL
- aswMBR.exe
He needs these logs to see what you have. Without them, he will not be able to help. FRST is a secondary program used for analysis, not one of the first. The first four are what you start with…
I’ve gone and notified essexboy.
