hi, i think i musta opened up a trojan or something and now i'm stuck with this virus. Occasionally it shows underlined green links that shouldn't be there, but usually it just randomly throws popups at me. This is my first time using a forum too, but if you could help me out i'd be extremely grateful!

And if you did not have a firewall or other antipspyware/AV running at the same time..I am sure it got all of it. But for those of you still having problems you can try this method Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here: http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet. Please run Notepad and copy the following text into a new file:
Save the file to the desktop as remove.bat and make sure the "Save as type" field says "All files". Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following: 1) Restart your computer 2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8. 3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear 4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode. For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the following site: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on remove.bat. A window should open and close very quickly --- this is normal. Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Post the log from the scan here for me. Then please run HijackThis, click Scan, and check: F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe Close all open windows except for HijackThis and click Fix Checked. Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan. The key to the whole thing of course is to make sure you get rid of this entry F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe in the hijackthis log..after all else is in the process of being cleaned. |

My web browser has been hijacked. Even after I have used three of the best virus and trojan detectors I still can't get rid of stealthSws114!. Each time I go to the web I'm redirected to http://searchmaid.com.
How can I fix this once and for all? Do they really think people are going to buy AntiSpyware products from them with these tactics? |

Hi jason,
I took a quick look at the Kings of Chaos-site but couldn't find anything wrong. So, i cannot help but think that you may have some more malware on your computer. Just to be sure of that, post your HijackThis-log in a new topic, so we can see if there is something wrong ... If we know what's really wrong, we are able to give you a better advice.
