    Hi there,

    My PC seems to have been affected by the Greatsearch.biz and nkvd.us problems.

    I have run adaware with the up-to-date definitions and then ran hijackthis.

    Th elog is attached

    Hi iqueen,

    Fix the following with HijackThis

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Power Scan] C:\Program Files\Power Scan\powerscan.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Iesearch.exe] C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iesearch.exe

    Restart PC after doing so and remove :

    C:\Program Files\Power Scan\ <- this folder
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iesearch.exe <- this file

    Can you do a search for the following files? :

    system32.dll
    mtwirl.dll or mtwirl32.dll

    Let me know exact locations

    Cheers,

    Hi Unzy,

    I did as you suggested and removed the HKLM references with Hijack this

    Couldn't find a POWER SCAN folder, but removed the Iesearch.exe

    I searched for the dll's you asked me to but there were none to be found.

    In the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ folder, there were some more dll.s and exes that look "unusual" - all having been created in the last few days.

    They are:

    guardian.dll
    hookDLL.dll
    netClient.dll
    r_process.dll and
    nKeogW.exe

    More suggestions please?

    Thanks in advance

    That's a clean log.

    If you still have problems, please do this:

    In HijackThis click Config > Misc Tools > Generate Startuplist
    This will produce a text file. Please post it's content.

    Regards,

    Pieter
