said by bcastner See Profile :

Virtumonde is adware, not a virus.
It will apply to every user, not just the one you used to scan.

Please try to do the steps above. They require nothing more than a download and a double click in most cases.
I do appreciate the help, but like I said, I am not able to follow all the above directions. I deleted her account, added a new one and everything runs fine.

Another forum said that deleting her account if the fastest and easiest fix. My account ran fine, so it was just adware on her side.

Thanks again. If this proves to not work, I will try here again.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20408897 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:37:49 EDT Re: HJT Log http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20407322 bcastner : Virtumonde is adware, not a virus.

Can I just delete her account to remove the virus?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20405307 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:48:24 EDT Re: HJT Log http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20403811 bcastner : TeaTimer is not necessary with Windows Defender installed.

• Choose Yes at the Warning prompt.
• Expand the Tools menu.
• Click Resident.
• Uncheck the Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active. box.
• In the File menu click Exit to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.

Similarly, Spyware Doctor will prevent cleaning your computer. Please disable it for now.
From within Spyware Doctor, click the "]OnGuard" button on the left side.
Uncheck "Activate OnGuard".

1. Download and Run -- ComboFix©
Download this file -- to your Desktop -- from any of these sources:

• Disconnect from the Internet.
• Disable your Antivirus software -- this includes any Script Blocking Feature it may have.

Important: Have no other programs running. Your Task Bar should be clear of any program entries including your Browser.
• A window will open with a warning. Accept any disclaimers to start the fix. When the scan completes Notepad will open with with your results log open. Do a File, Exit and answer 'Yes' to save changes.
A caution - Do not run Combofix more than once. Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock.

2. Please download MalwareBytes Anti-malware (MBAM) from one of the following links:

Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer (including this one.)

Double-click on the icon on your desktop named Download_mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.

When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave both the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button.

MBAM will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box and you will now be at the main program.

On the Scanner tab, make sure the the Perform quick scan option is selected and then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer.

MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can take quite a while, so we suggest you go and do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan.

When the scan is finished a message box will appear that it has completed scanning successfully. Click OK. Now click Show Results. Make sure all entries have a checkmark at their far left. You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine.

When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window. Remember where you saved the log file, as we will want to see it later.

3. Run HijackThis again, and save the log file.

Submit to the Forum:
• The contents of C:\Combofix.txt;
• The MBAM log results;
• The new HijackThis log.
