Hi rudders,

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

O4 - Global Startup: MSupdate.exe

O16 - DPF: {90C9629E-CD32-11D3-BBFB-00105A1F0D68} (InstallShield International Setup Player) - http://www.napster.com/client/isetup.cab

Then reboot and delete:
MSupdate.exe

Since you clipped your Windows version and the version of HijackThis, I can not be sure if I got all of CWS, so please download, unzip and run CWShredder as an extra check.

Regards,

Pieter

Hi rudders,

As long as it is solved.

Outside help is always better then an inside job.

these pron site dialers are real hectic to get rid of manually for u dont edit the registry. everytime u search for the .exe name and delete the found results after booting they re-appear. this is because the dialer is maily stored in the windows system32 or windows system folder and an instance of this program along with the path in the system registry. the best way to get rid of this pron dialer or exe is to remove it from the registry entry so that its not reloaded again and again after booting.

the instances after booting can be found under

1 : Start Menu
2 : Start>Programs
3 : Start>Programs>Accesories

first u must delete the registry entries from the following places.

in the run command type regedit and pres enter
when the registry editor opens up go to Edit and then Find and search for the folowing registry paths

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]

all will have the data part as
"Info="c:\directory\prondialer.exe"
just delete each of the data items from the registry and press F5 button to make the changes permanent.

then u must rebot the computer and then manually delete the dialer exe from the windows system / system32 folders.

i am sure that you wont get harassed by these dialer exe any longer.

[note: if ur not familiar with the registry editor then u may take the help of some one who can help u out in doing so.]

thanks u
