    I'm in the process of cleaning up my computer. I ran Bitdefender for the first time and cleaning a lot. I ran Hijackthis next, but not sure what's needed, I turn to your help. Below is my log from the Hijackthis.

    Please advise.

    thank you :)

    Hi DMS,

    First, download and run http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.netsky.b@mm.removal.tool.html
    (You'll have to copy and paste the link, the boards software does not recognize the rest of the link, because of the @)

    Did you install the 2by2.net toolbar knowingly?
    I've never come across it before, so you will have to tell me if you want to get rid of it. I will spare it for now.

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

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Pcsv] C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs\pcsvc.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wcmdmgr] C:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\wcmdmgrl.exe -launch
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [service] C:\WINDOWS\services.exe -serv

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoUpdater] "C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe"
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dpi] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dpi\dpi.exe

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BeachHead2002.exe] C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\Desktop\Games\BEACHH~1.EXE /r
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Notn] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\eber.exe

    O16 - DPF: {9522B3FB-7A2B-4646-8AF6-36E7F593073C} (cpbrkpie Control) - http://a19.g.akamai.net/7/19/7125/4011/ftp.coupons.com/v3121/cpbrkpie.cab

    O16 - DPF: {C6B086D2-146B-47A4-A218-B82DCAF2D872} (cpbrxpie Control) - http://a19.g.akamai.net/7/19/7125/4007/ftp.coupons.com/r3120/cpbrxpie.cab

    Then reboot and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dpi <= entire folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\eber.exe

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thank you for your quick response. I only just had time to go and fix the items you suggested. As for the 2by2.net bar, I did install it, but if you have an idea for a good tool bar, I'm open? :)

    After the clean up here is my Hijack log now. Any other suggestions?

    Much appreciation.

    Google tool bar has to be the best i recomment it. Very handy tool for the best search engine on earth. Just choose not to install that tracking option crap in the installation its unnecessary.

    Your log looks good now.
    I hardly ever use IE, so I will skip recommending another toolbar. :)

    Thank you both for the information. My computer is booting up faster and I have now recovered about 5 gig :eek: of hard drive space, between the viruses and some other programs that I didn't need.

    I went ahead and got rid of the toolbar, I really didn't use it that much anyway and I will probably not get another.

    Thank you again for your time and wisdom. I have already recommended this forum to others and will continue to use it myself. :D
