Ok, this is frustrating and embarrassing. I have been supporting computers and networks for years. Security is my number
one concern and I make my living off tech support. This one has me stumped. I am infected by Antivirus 2008. I cant get
a freakin screenshot right now of course just assume that I know what an ad for antivirus 2008 looks like. This is not the popup screen with the fake scan and statistics but similar to a 404 screen in IE. All text in the body of the page but it tells me for more security download Antivirus 2008. Firefox only.

Actions performed so far:
Installed, updated and scanned in safe mode where available with:
Spybot, Adaware, Malwarebytes, AVGfree Antivirus and Antispyware, Superantispyware, Avast, spyhunter, superadblocker, Exterminate it!, Spynomore and a few other things. This crapware is related to the zlob trojan and I have scanned and used other softwares and utilities that have eliminated the virus for me before but I cant get to this one. Every scan comes up clean, but open FF 3.0.0.4 and about 30% of the time I get the window that tells me that I have insecure browsing and should get Antivirus 2008. As soon as I get the next window I'll post a screenshot. Below is my hijack this log.

Thanks on advance for any help.

Hello. I am PropagandaPanda (Panda or PP for short), and I will be helping you with your log.

I apologize for the delay in response. We get overwhelmed with logs at times, but we are trying our best to keep up. If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following so I can have a look at the current condition of your machine.

You may want to keep the link to this topic in your favourites. Alternatively, you can click the button at the top bar of this topic and Track this Topic, where you can choose email notifications. The topics you are tracking are shown here.

Please take note of some guidelines for this fix:

• Refrain from making any changes to your computer including installing/uninstall programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, and running scanners or tools. Doing so could cause changes to the directions I have to give you and prolong the time required. Further more, you should not be taking any advice relating to this computer from any other source throughout the course of this fix.
• If you do not understand any step(s) provided, please do not hesitate to ask before continuing. I would much rather clarify instructions or explain them differently than have something important broken.
• Even if things appear to be better, it might not mean we are finished. Please continue to follow my instructions and reply back until I give you the "all clean". We do not want to clean you part-way, only to have the system re-infect itself.
• Finally, please reply using the button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Do not start a new topic. The logs that you post should be pasted directly into the reply. Only attach them if requested or if they do not fit into the post.

Download and Run ATFCleaner
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program will clear out temporary files before we run OTScanIt. You will likely be logged out of the forum where you are recieving help.

This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main Select Files to Delete choose: Select All.
• Click the Empty Selected button.
• If you use any other browsers, select them appropriately from the top and empty all items.

Download and Run OTScanIt
Download OTScanIt by OldTimer to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named OTScanIt on your desktop.

• Open the OTScanIt folder and double-click on OTScanIt.exe to start the program. If you are running on Vista then right-click the program and choose Run as Administrator.
• Check the Scan all users box at the top left.
• Change the Rootkit Scan setting from "No" to Yes.
• Click the Extras button under "Additional Scans".
• Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
• When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
• Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
• Close Notepad (saving the change if necessary).
• Use the Add Reply button in the forum and Attach the scan back here (do not copy/paste it as it will be too big to fit into the post). It will be located in the OTScanIt folder and named OTScanIt.txt.

Run Scan with Kaspersky
Please do a scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner.

This scan is for Internet Explorer Only.

If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select Run as administrator to perform this scan.

• Please disable your realtime protection software before proceeding. Refer to this page if you are unsure how.
• Open the Kaspersky Scanner page.
• Click on Accept and install any components it needs.
• The program will install and then begin downloading the latest definition files.
• After the files have been downloaded on the left side of the page in the Scan section select My Computer
• This will start the program and scan your system.
• The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete, click on View scan report
• Now, click on the Save Report as button.
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

You can refer to this animation by sundavis.

This scanner will only scan. It does not remove any malware it finds.
