    Hi all,

    Every time I run spybot, these same critters are back again. I'm updated and immunised.

    [​IMG]

    I kill them everytime with spybot but alas, they returneth.

    Also, there is something called zzzhpsetup in the startup processes which nothing on the web can seem to identify, only label with a "?"

    Any help much appreciated,

    Thanks.

    Ok, those found objects are cookies. If you want to prevent those from coming to your computer, install SpywareBlaster. -> http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html


    Your log looks clean but there are few files that look suspicious

    Lets check those out:

    Do this.

    Make your hidden files visible:
    ->On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.
    ->Click the View tab.
    ->Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

    Go to http://www.virustotal.com
    -> Press Browse
    -> Search this file D:\-->Setup.exe
    -> OK and Send
    -> Post the results to here so we can see if it is dirty

    Check this file too in the virustotal and post the results here:
    C:\Program Files\PowerISO\-->PWRISOVM.EXE

    Results :

    The D:/setup.exe is weird. It was actually my girlfreinds mp3 cd in the dvd drive, however no such file is on the disc.

    The other one appears to be clean :

    p.s.

    Spybot recognises ctfmon.exe as a coolwebsearch variant, however when I googled it, it identified it as being nothing to worry about.

    Ok.

    Run HijackThis and fix this entry: (Do a system scan only, check entry, close all other windows, press Fix checked)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzzHPSETUP] D:\Setup.exe


    Then do a new system scan with HijackThis and check that is the
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzzHPSETUP] D:\Setup.exe entry gone

    And tell me if it is not gone.

    By the way, have you checked that cd for viruses?

    Ok,

    HijackThis seems to have gotten rid of the setup.exe

    I scanned the CD with AVG and it yielded nothing.

    By the way, if you want to make your computer (especially the startup) faster, you can fix these entries with HijackThis:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SBDrvDet] C:\Program Files\Creative\SB Drive Det\SBDrvDet.exe /r
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ASUS Probe] C:\Program Files\ASUS\Probe\AsusProb.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [POINTER] point32.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\WINDOWS\System32\NeroCheck.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvMediaCenter] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\jusched.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MsnMsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe" /background
    O4 - Startup: Adobe Gamma.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe
    O4 - Global Startup: Acrobat Assistant.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Distillr\AcroTray.exe

    The following can also be fixed if you don't need any Japanese translating/writing support:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IMJPMIG8.1] "C:\WINDOWS\IME\imjp8_1\IMJPMIG.EXE" /Spoil /RemAdvDef /Migration32
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IMEKRMIG6.1] C:\WINDOWS\ime\imkr6_1\IMEKRMIG.EXE
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSPY2002] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IME\PINTLGNT\ImScInst.exe /SYNC
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PHIME2002ASync] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IME\TINTLGNT\TINTSETP.EXE /SYNC
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PHIME2002A] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IME\TINTLGNT\TINTSETP.EXE /IMEName

    And you are welcome =)
