MidADdle MUST DIE

[Dshadna]

OK, I won't disappoint. Download and run Hijack! Also, she has ad-aware, but it's obviously compromised since she has the virus. She should run an online scanner to check for the spyware, since it shouldn't be effected. Then, as much of a pain as it is, she should start installing those wonderful programs from Noonoo's sticky thread. I've only had one virus/trojan/malware not get stopped by the combination of those.

Thank you for your quick answer. I'll have her do those things. We did go to PCPitstop and also the PANDA site to scan and neither one comes up with any virus or spyware. We've tried to download spybot several times to her computer but each time it says something aobut corrupted file. She's not a happy camper, but hopefully we can help her get happier. I'll write down the list of what's in the sticky and we'll start doing it and see what happens.

Yes , do all thats in NooNoo's sticky post .

As for online scans you can try ;

if nothing else the online scans will give you more of what could be on that PC .

Don't know what Anti-virus your using but if you don't have this (AVG);

Switch off system restore before you start

In Safe Mode
Run Hi-jack this and Spybot
Also check in Add/Remove programs and uninstall SEP/Middadle.
Follow previous instructions that you've done to get rid of registry entries

Scrap the MS firewall it is pants, install ZoneAlarms its free FFS and like yourself I run ZoneAlarms and AVG and I have never, repeat never gotten anything on my PC.

Good luck. I had fun with this kiddy about a week or so ago and I did the above to get shot of it, so far it hasn't come back

Ok, I will run all these in safe mode (If I can get her computer into safe mode again, it's a b**ch to try to get it there). I have run them all in regular mode but nothing is found. Already removed the SEP/Middadle from the Control Panel and it's not come back. I'll try this with system restore off now though..

Boot into safe mode and run hijack again. Kill the registry entries and delete the files as well.
