We will do the settings when we get done with cleanup. Just be sure to remind me if I forget...

Look here for information on C:\Program Files\WinPcap and tell me if this is something you installed. http://www.winpcap.org/

And here for C:\Documents and Settings\User\.zenmap http://nmap.org/zenmap/

Let me know if they should stay or go.

    Yea, as you can see I figured out what those two thingsa are-I did install them but I do not need them at all....

    Should I remove them with add/remove programs?

    You can go in and manually delete these folders. They aren't hurting anything but some people like to keep the clutter out.

    C:\Documents and Settings\User\.zenmap
    C:\Program Files\WinPcap
    C:\Program Files\Nmap

    ---------

    Found another Trojan to deal with.

    Go to Start > Run and type notepad.exe then click OK

    Copy the text in the Code box below and paste it into Notepad.

    Code: [Select]
    REGEDIT4

    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\smgr]

    In Notepad go to File > Save as...

    Next to File name: type fixme.reg Use the dropdown box next to Save as type: and select All files. Save it to the desktop.

    There should now be a file on the Desktop that looks like this

    Double-click fixme.reg it and allow it to merge with the Registry.

    You may not see anything happen but give it a few seconds or so to finish.

    Now delete the fixme.reg file from the desktop.

    ----------

    Your Java is out of date.

    Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to infect your system.

    Download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

    • Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
    • Click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
    • Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
    • A logfile will pop up.
    • Delete the JavaRa .zip .exe and .html files from the Desktop
    .
    Follow this link to download and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7

    ----------

    This will clean up the mess from DSS and delete itself.

    1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
    Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator
    2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
    3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
    4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)
    • When finished exit out of OTMoveIt2

    ----------

    Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one and false positives.
    Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
    • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
    • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
    • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

    • Click OK
    • Click the More Options Tab.
    • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.

      So far everything is going fine, just busy installing java and running cleanup manager. My question was to make the icon text transperant, because right now it is white and doesnt go with the background. BTW thanks so much for all the help so far.

      Right click on the Desktop and choose Properties. Then click the Appearance tab. You can change the way the desktop looks in there. Don't do too much at once, you can easily make things worse and then forget how to change it back.

      ----------

      Once you are done with those steps it would be a good idea to run a Kaspersky scan. It won't remove anything but if there are any nasties left over it will find them and we can get it taken care of.

      Run the Kaspersky Online Scanner

      In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon and choose Run as Administrator.

      • Click on SCAN NOW
      • Click Accept.
      • The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
      • Once the files have been downloaded locate the Scan Settings and have it scan My Computer.
      • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it finish.
      When the scan is done, in the Scan is complete window, any infection is displayed.
      There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

      To obtain the report:
      Click on: Save Report As
      • Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop.
      • In the File name area use KScan, or something similar.
      • In Save as type: click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
      • Then, click: Save


      Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply.

                The Kaspersky site is saying that? You are using Internet Explorer?
