    Hello

    I am having problems getting rid of the 1on1/XXX server dialer which has been causing me problems for a couple of days. I have run the latest versions of Spybot S&D and ad-aware on my system.

    I have also run some checks on my system and found the following suspicious files (locations in brackets):

    SVCHOST.EXE (C:\1386)

    SVCHOST.EXE-2DFBD18.PF (C:\WINDOWS\PREFETCH)

    I have also creating the following system log using Hijackthis:

    Hello PeteRUK,

    Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
    You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
    Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary. Delete the old copy please.

    Also, please do a direct copy and paste of the hijack log. Please read this for further guidence:
    http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/#copyandpaste

    After doing the above, post a new log and I or one of the other board staff will help you.

    Hi PeteRUK,

    Before you start please unzip hijackthis.exe to a folder of it´s own. The program creates backups in the folder it is in. In a Temp folder they easily disappear.

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

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A491D208-B353-490F-B81A-A8A3DC97042D} - "C:\WINDOWS\System32\smiehlp.dll (file missing)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Update] C:\WINDOWS\csrss.exe /i

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\csrss.exe <= NOTE: only the one in that folder

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thanks for your response Pieter - it is very much appreciated.

    Just to clarify with regard to unzipping hijackthis.exe into its own folder.... (I'm no expert so I thought it best to check....)

    I have saved hijackthis.exe into a folder on my C: drive - when I go into it it shows the zip file. Do I need to open the Zip file and then re-save it or is it ok to unzip the file each time I run Hijack this?

    Thanks again.

    Regards.

    Peter

    Many thanks for your help with this. I have followed Nick and Pieter's advice and it appears to have solved the problem.

    I was at a loss as to how to get rid of this complete menace from my PC. I wanted to say thank you for your help and your patience in dealing with my queries (I am no computer expert!).

    You all deserve a huge amount of credit for the good work you do on this site.

    Kind regards.
