BleepingComputer.com: SweetIm virus

I looked at the site for the directions of the DDS guide and there is so much to it. I just don't know if I am capable of doing it let alone understanding the steps. I keep refering to my being computer illiterate and that is in the truest sense of the word. I know nothing about the termanology when it tells me to do this or that. I just don't know what to do. I don't have anyone to guide me here or that can help. It just sounds complicated! What should I do? I definitely don't want to mess the computer up. Thanks for your help.

Ok, to make it simple ..Do only the DDS log step,then do step 9.
Let me know if that worked.

I did the best I could with this. Do I need to go back to step 9 and do something else. Like posting a new Malware removal request? Not sure how to do but will try. If there is an attachment or anything I can't find the attachment button. I had looked before for another reason. Thanks. I hope this will help.

Back again. I ran MBAM and have ten problems. This is the scan. I quarantined. I hope I did this correctly. There were two that had the HKeys and I didn't quarantine them. Should I have? Thanks. Too much going on.

I decided to run another scan in Malware bytes after I did the scan of the SuperAntispyware. There was one problem and I deleted it. Now where do I go from here? Thanks.

Looks good here,are there any issues on that end?

I think all looks well. Of course I don't know much but it seems to be fine. Thank you for all the help. Appreciated greatly and the patience shown. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

This looks good to me too. Now you should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
  
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
  
• Click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
  
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
  
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
  
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
  
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
  
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.

Vista Users can refer to these links: Create a New Restore Point and Disk Cleanup.

Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe.
  
• How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!.
  
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.
  
• Configuring Internet Explorer for Practical Security and Privacy - How to Secure Your Web Browser.
  
• Your Guide To Staying Safe Online.
  
• Use Task Manager to close pop-up messages to safely exit malware attacks.

• Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use any P2P applications. Read P2P Software User Advisories and Risks of File-Sharing Technology.

• Keeping Autorun enabled on USB and other removable drives has become a significant security risk due to the increasing number of malware variants that can infect them and transfer the infection to your computer. To learn more about this risk, please read:

• USB-Based Malware Attacks.
  
• When is AUTORUN.INF really an AUTORUN.INF?.
  
• Please disable Autorun asap!.

Thanks for all the information and help. All is done and we will see how it goes from here. Thanks again.

OK, great, this topic will be here if needed.
