Hi Adriana

Would you please open Adaware and tell me what you see for the following?
1. Version and Build# (bottom right corner) should be Ver 6.0 build 181
2. Reference File # loaded?

Also please tell us what version of Spybot you have and last update?

CleverIEhooker is the TV Media entries. Clocksync is another program you have running that is recommended you replace with something spywarefree (check notes at the bottom of this reply). If you wish to keep it anyway, leave out the removal steps for Clocksync

Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for these and remove from there if listed:

TV Media

Clocksync
.....................................
Next, please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an x in the boxes next to these items, then press *fix checked*

Reboot your PC and delete the following folders named in bold.

C:\Program Files\TV Media

C:\PROGRA~1\CLOCKSYNC

**ClockSynck - synchronizes your system clock with an internet time server. It's by WhenU, the makers of the Save Now spyware, and they're usually seen in tandem, so it's advised to replace it with one of many spyware free alternatives available

Scan once more with HijackThis and post a new log please so we can see if we got everything.

 

adaware
1. Version and Build# it is Ver 6.0 build 181
2. Reference File #01r319 15.06.2004 it is loaded

spybot is version 1.2

on both of this I have checked for updates

I did as you told .... but when I went in to delete folders it did not find anything for clocksynck ... it did for tv media and I deleted 3 files that had that description

this is my new log

please advice ... and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!!!!!

 

You're welcome

Looks like one got missed. Scan with HijackThis and checkmark the following and then press *fix checked*

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {707E6F76-9FFB-4920-A976-EA101271BC25} - C:\Program Files\TV Media\TvmBho.dll (file missing)

And that should be it!

Your Adaware is current but Spybot has a newer version 1.3

Download Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3
http://www.safer-networking.org/

Don't forget to update it too. (Last update was June 7)

Next, we highly recommend you get some extra protection to prevent future infections. Here are some things you can do and some free programs to help .

Why did I get infected in the first place
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=27971

I also recommend the free tool, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), from Microsoft to analyze your PC security for prevention purposes.

MBSA Version 1.2 will scan for common system misconfigurations on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems. This program will identify the system security weaknesses in your browser and operating system and provides easy instructions to correct them. This includes any missing critical Windows security updates, system vulnerabilities and your IE Browser security settings. Get the download here:
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
