Report New Spyware Here

Can anyone help remove this ? I don't know too much about anything, so if anyone can help, please explain everything as simply as possible, much appreciation. Thanks guys.

Hi Butch_Steel,

Please go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/, and download 'Hijack This!'.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished,  the  "Scan"  button will change into a "Save Log"  button.
Press that,  save the log as a .txt file, and copy and paste its contents into your next post.

Most of what it lists will be harmless, so do not fix anything yet.

Regards,

Pieter

Okay, I sure hope this fix the problem !  Thanks for the help !

C:\spp.reg



 Where do I find this file or whatever it is to delete it ? I've done all the rest till I rebooted and my explorer is back to normal , or so it seems, but I don't understand what I'm meant to delete now, or how I find it, or.. what it is, so if you could be a little more specific, I'd appreciate it alot, anyway thanks for taking the time out to reply so fast and help me ! Thanks a lot !!!

Hi Butch_Steel,

Open Explorer by doubleclicking "My Computer" or use the combination of the Windows key + E
Then doubleclick your C: drive and scroll down to the files. There should be one called spp.reg
Rightclick it when you find it and choose delete.

Regards,

Pieter

Alright, everything seems to be normal now and I've found the file and deleted it , thanks for the help ! Later

You're welcome.

Pieter
