Adult Friend Finder Pop-up

Mr_Vincent

I also got this message asking if I wanted this to be removed. I declined it.
C:\Windows\system32\GRock03.dll.

I ran ewido with system restore kept on.
What do you want me to do with Hijack This?
I am still getting my pop-ups and my pc is sloowing down.

ewido anti-malware - Scan report

---

(this section has been removed)

I am in an internet cafe right now because my pc constantly refused to allow me to post.
I think this is getting serious because all my applications are taking 5 times longer to open up.
Before I reply next I am going to defragment my pc and run adaware, spybot and ewido in safe mode with system restore turned off.

Hope to hear frrom you soon.

Browntoa

good luck....!!

Just reading that ewido report tells me you have (or had) much malware on your system. By all means do those scans you mention.

IF you can get your troubled PC online also do the folllowing.

In NORMAL mode download CleanUp! here…..

http://www.cleanup.stevengould.org/

*WARNING* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups. If you have a 64 bit Operating System do NOT run Cleanup and let me know as we will use another utility

Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.

---

Also in NORMAL mode run all the free scans and cleaning procedures offered at these two sites.....(assuming you have broadband; you did mention dial up in an earlier post; some of these scans can take a time).....

http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/

…and here…..

http://housecall.trendmicro.com.

When running the Panda Activescan make sure you click the Free Online Virus Scan in the upper right hand corner of the page under the Free use Activescan header. You do NOT want the default spyXposer scan.

Once it has finished save the Activescan log. Then post that log in your next post.

Please run ALL the free scans offered by Housecall. In case you are on dial up and are wondering the CWShredder scan doesn't take long.

Make sure both sites perform full system scans.

If either/both scans find something they cannot fix - perhaps because the infected files are "in use" - please make a note of the file(s) concerned and post the details back to this thread.

---

Run a HJT scan after all that and post the Notepad logfile report to this thread.

---

Two more things.....

Please don't forget to post details of anything the scans find but can't fix.

Let us know how your PC is behaving now and give any more indications of what is slowing down the PC. You may get some clues from Task Manager.

In case you dont know about Task manager do this....

On your keyboard press Ctrl AND Alt AND Del together. That will bring up the Task Manager window. Double click the tab headed "CPU". Look at the top of that column and see which processes is/are using up the most % of your CPU. Tell us what it/they are called and how much of the CPU they are using.

To print a list of everything runninb

Display the Task Manager.

Bring up the Paint Program. (I'm not kidding :-)
Hold down ALT and press Print Scrn

This will capture an image of the Active Window (in this case the Task Manager) onto the Clipboard.

Close the Task Manager.

Click Edit / Paste in the Paint program and the image of the Task Manager window will be copied to Paint. This image can then be Saved As a JPG file for reference or printed.

Simply pressing the Print Scrn key will copy the WHOLE desktop to the Clipboard. Holding the ALT key will copy only the active window, in this case, that's the Task Manager.

Methinks 'tis time for a format and fresh install!

Massive scumware infections suggests OP needs to completely review his security mechanisms.

Hi all

If a section of the screen is required - not the whole thing - do like Browntoa suggests or download the free version of Screenhunter from Wisdomsoft here...

http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm

Play with it. It's easy to use and it's the main tool many people use to get a copy of just part of the screen.

intel

I kinda go with Toxys suggestion and if its ghosted an hour or so.

I just think a fresh install is the way to go then get all the
AV and Adaware and Firewall... but just back up important docs.

Browntoa

CleanUp! should do that (see my post #24).
