RESOLVED. kinda.

The 2nd time I tried the BitDefender RescueCD v2.0 dated 6-30-09, it found 4 infected files just like before and it also closed the scanner without warning yet again. But this time I shutdown the computer correctly when exiting the RescueCD instead of just holding the power button. On the next start up, the Security Center 4.52 virus had disappeared. So before I rubbed my eyes hoped this wasn't a dream, I installed avast! Antivirus and ran a scan. It said it had found malware on a certain .dlls. I had them moved to quarantine. It advised me to run a boot-scan, which I did. It found about 15~20 more Win32.Trojans. Fixed those. Now the only problem left is a small adware which won't load Google.com, click on search links from Yahoo or Google, or when searching through Google (with upper right search bar in Firefox) it is in German and it won't let me access language settings. I'm going to run Spybot S&D then TrendMicro's HiJackThis if S&D doesn't work. I'll upload the HJT log (regardless if the Search Engine adware was resolved) here and couple of other places so look out for that tomorrow afternoon since that's when I'll be going over.

Thank Tempers, you guys are wonderful.

Why not use the ComboFix? It helped me when same virus was teasing one of my friends computer.
I was told to NEVER use ComboFix unless told to and instructed by a malware expert/admin/mod from like a antimalware site because it can be harmful to your computer if you don't know what your doing or cant tell the difference between Windows & virus (same thing tho rite

Ok thanks guys!

just google each .exe file see if their known for being a virus.

There is to much crap installed on her computer.

The amount of service's also is kinda worrying.

What you aim for is removing most of the stuff that is listed anyway and tell her to start it manually after you cleared everything thats mallware.

there shouldnt be anything other than your own local host of 127.0.0.0 in there or similar

remove getPlus® its advertisement crap not needed use a different download manager with firefox instead


get rid of whatever this is http://www.myheritage.com/Genoogle/Compone...EngineQuery.dll looks like a redirector dll !?

everything else looks in order but above all uninstall all thats yahoo related its everywhere!

update and scan again with malware antibytes software

read previous instructions for manual removal of problematic files print it and do the removal in safe mode!

once you have got rid of the registry entries and the files it will be easier to sort the rest out!

this is a virus that i recently just got rid off it's a very annoying virus called Reader_s.exe it sends out information about the computer via a connection and keeps on spreading unless you get rid of it DO NOT connect any flash drive or externals to the infected pc as it will spread into those drives and will re-infect even after you have completely reinstalled windows.

download CCleaner and select these folders to reomve it's contents C:\windows\prefetch c:\windows\Temp also clean up other stuff left by windows e.t.c

DO NOT use combofix that program just made the problem worse and corrupted all my internet connections which i could not repair so i had to reinstall windows XP again becasue combofix messed it up, the best virus program i have used is kaspersky, it removed 90% of the virus, also install malware bytes but RUN IT IN SAFE MODE not normal mode and also disconnect your internet connection or you will be re infected, after you have scaned with malware bytes in safe mode, restart the compter again in safe mode and do a full scan again 3-4 times before all the traces are gone, also update the program first before you go into safe mode.

i hope this helps and good luck with removing the virus, you are going to need it, it took me 6 hours to completly remove it from my computer. (including re install)

there shouldnt be anything other than your own local host of 127.0.0.0 in there or similar

remove getPlus® its advertisement crap not needed use a different download manager with firefox instead


get rid of whatever this is http://www.myheritage.com/Genoogle/Compone...EngineQuery.dll looks like a redirector dll !?

everything else looks in order but above all uninstall all thats yahoo related its everywhere!

update and scan again with malware antibytes software

read previous instructions for manual removal of problematic files print it and do the removal in safe mode!

once you have got rid of the registry entries and the files it will be easier to sort the rest out!

K I'm going to follow these instructions first. I uploaded my HJT Log to BleepingComputer they told me to do a number of things. Since this one is shorter and actually has to do with HJT, I'll be following these instructions first. Then I'll try the BleepingComputer method if this doesn't work. Thanks kobykaan.

KOBYKAAN YOU ROCK.

All I did was edit the hosts file to only have 127.0.0.0 localhost instead all the crap in there and the redirection stopped. Then i started a scan with avast! and its finding some Win32.Trojans. I uninstalled all Google/Yahoo crap but I didn't even take out that line that contained myheritage or whatever. Anyways, problem's solved officially.

THANKYOU GBATEMP & TEMPERS!!

Make sure that your friend understand no more crap on the computer!

More stuff = dead pc soon.

Even when installing new programs , dare to hit the box which unselects stuff you dont need.

Lots of programs these days add a toolbar and this can be skipped by either clicking top right killbox or unflagging it.
