please help me.

frustrated with PC · Jun 1, 2004

I have used ad-ware to scan my drive. I am having problems opening windows media player, every time I try it runs a file "setup.exe", and I lose all response from my desktop(all though I can still move the mouse, and if I right click, and hit "properties" it tells me the properties of the file I tried to open.) and whatever icon I click, does not get selected. According to AVG I am virus free, although I did have the Revop.C(I think thats what it's called?) trojan a couple days ago, so that may be causing the problem... So here I am, posting my hijack this log:

Reboot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406
then as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Delete these files

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\A.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\kridwrwx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msmc.exe

and Delete these folders

C:\Program Files\Open Site

6) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that websites have placed on your hard drive

then

AdAware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download

Run Sybot S&D

After installing, first press Online, press search for updates, then tick the updates it finds, then press download updates. Beside the download button is a little down pointed arrow, select one of the servers listed. If it doesn't work or you get an error message then try a different server

Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, press 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED.

then reboot &

Run ADAWARE

Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".

then.........

go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

When scan is finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) then press next and then say yes to the prompt, do you want to remove all these entries.

reboot again

then post a new hijackthis log to check what is left
