Guest bhbjk1 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I have been attacked in a serious way. I have tried everything. I am trying to follow instructions on AD-Aware for a fix, but as you can see below, I now can not even install a program. My machine is doing the same thing everyone else's is doing. I am running very slow on the internet, I can not get to Windows Update, I can not get to Ad-Aware, I click on gumballs.com and get an ADHD website. I have tried to download Hijack this on my main machine, that did not work, could not get to the site. I than downloaded it to my laptop and copied it to my main machine. Now, I can not get it to start. -- Jeff Quote

Or get it to someone with more experience fixing such things. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Quote
Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx 2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be): http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm 3. Run additional checks for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log to an appropriate forum. Checking for/Help with Hijackware http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=5878 http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/data/prevention.htm http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/tshoot.html http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Malware_Defence.htm http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/ http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2....emoving_Malware When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2 (http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. Post your log to http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesfor....php?board=10.0, http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22, http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review by an expert in such matters, not here. If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ bhbjk1 wrote:<span style="color:blue"> > I have been attacked in a serious way.
