    I have been infected by the edvan solutions xxxserver /hot kiss scam. I have downloaded 'Spybot Search & Destroy', 'Adaware' and 'Hijackthis' software to detect potentially problem files. I have deleted suspect problem files in safe mode. The following is a list of files hijackthis thinks are still potential problems. I would appreciate your advice with these files and any instruction as to problem files and info on their removal. Thank you for your help.

    I know advfn is OK. I am suspicious of 'mHotkey.exe' and 'csrss.exe' and 'msmsgs.exe'.
    Appreciate your help.

    Hi Mr Reeve,

    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:


    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Soundmx] C:\WINDOWS\System32\soundmx.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Process] C:\WINDOWS\csrss.exe /i

    Download and run CWShredder
    Use the Fix button and follow the instructions provided by the program.

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

    Regards,

    Pieter
