Help! This just started a couple of days ago, and it's making me nuts. I don't even know where to start to find out what the culprit is. Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to TSF

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run the following tools. Download and update the databases on each program before running.

Also make sure you are using the the latest version (1.99.1) of HijackThis and it's installed in it's own folder on the root drive. (C:\HJT)


Please download VundoFix.zip to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.zip and extract it to your C:\ directory.
  • Copy the instructions below and paste them into Notepad for reference.
    • All other windows need to be closed while doing this fix!
  • Navigate to the new folder C:\VundoFix
  • Double click on KillVundo.bat
    • When it starts running it will tell you that you need an active internet connection then ask you to press any key once you do.
  • Please press any key to continue.
  • Wait for HiJackThis to open.
  • When HiJackThis opens, click Do a system scan only. Place a check next to the following items, if found:


  • Once they all have a check next to them, click the FIX CHECKED button, then close HiJackThis.
You will once again be prompted to press any key.

Upon doing so this time you will receive a "Blue Screen Of Death". Don't worry, this is normal! Let the computer reboot. If it doesn't boot straight to windows, manually turn the computer off and then back on.

Once the computer is rebooted post a new HiJackThis log as well as the contents of vundofix.txt which can be found in this folder: C:\VundoFix

I need to leave compuserve.com as a trusted site because of my job with CS/AOL/Netscape. I was having issues not being able to download files in our publishing site, and having CS as a trusted site takes care of that problem.

Ran Ad-Aware with VX2 Add On and cleaned problems.

Ran CWShredder, and Cool Web was not found on the system, nor were any other of the possible problems.

Ran Spybot and cleaned problem files.

Ran Vundo Fix and Hijack This, and here are the logs:

Download and install Cleanup but DO NOT run it yet!

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups.

Empty your recycle bin!

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
*Click "Options..."
*Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
*Put a check next to the following:
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files
    [X]Scan local drives for temporary files (Please uncheck this option)
  • Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program. Reboot/logoff when prompted.

C:\WINDOWS\system\nutacc.dll <--delete that file.

Then post another Panda scan
 
I could not find nutacc.dll to delete it.

Here is the log from the Panda scan:
