first lets get rid of the hidden dll that reloads the hijacker back everytime its removed:

Download the file from
http://downloads.subratam.org/dllfix.exe

and save it in a place you like.

The file when downloaded will be dllfix.exe. Double-Click or Open the self-extracting file. It will ask for installation and change location. Please Keep it in BOOT drive and not in any place else. Preferable in Desktop..
Next Navigate to the folder with the contents of the file, doubleclick start.bat .
select option 1, find all, and press enter. it will create a file called output.txt. post the contents of that file here..

 

Thanks, but unfortunately the above link doesn't seem to be active. Any other ideas.

 

Hi quizdemon,

The link for the dllfix.exe file is working, I just tried it. Use the "Save" button and save the file to your hard drive.

 

Found the dll fix else where, here is the log although it doesn't mean a lot to me. Appreciate the help.

i'd uninstall the whole p2pnetworking thing, as it is a huge security risk, but fixing it will atleast prevent it from autostarting

post a fresh log when done( a clean one i hope )
