Derek

I have microsoft antispyware and the Basic security
analyser programmes as well as CA antivirus and CA Pest
control.

With all these tools I can not get rid of the
spysherriff.com information. I have emailed spysherrif
and they claimed to be concerned - they gave me a keycode
free to install the software and remove the virus.
However while it cleans the system it returns again on re-
boot!

Disables taskmanager
Replaced desktop screen
Constantr pop ups
Perhaps if I paid for the update it wold get clean
however i Would not provide CC details to those
blaickmailing crooks!

Any one who can help would have my eternal gratitude
 
Hi Derek

Use this fix , It will sort your problems out, let me
know if you need help with anything:


Download SmitRem:

http://castlecops.com/zx/flrman1/smitRem.zip

Save the file to your desktop.
Unzip smitRem.zip to extract the two files it contains.
Do not do anything with it yet. You will run the
RunThis.bat file later in safe mode.


Download Ccleaner:
-----------------

Install to remove temp and unused files

Download Ewido Security Suite:
------------------------------

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Install ewido.
During the installation, under "Additional Options"
uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via
context menu".
Launch ewido
It will prompt you to update click the OK button and it
will go to the main screen
On the left side of the main screen click update
Click on Start and let it update.
DO NOT run a scan yet. You will do that later in safe
mode.


Now copy these instructions to notepad and save them to
your desktop. You will need them to refer to in safe mode.



Once you have all the above downloads then boot into safe
mode (Reboot and keep tapping F8 then choose safe mode
from the list)



Once in safe mode open the smitRem folder, then double
click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the
prompts on screen.Wait for the tool to complete and disk
cleanup to finish.


Run Ewido:

Click the Start Scan button to start the scan.
During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click
OK

screen and click the Save report button.
Save the report to your desktop


Start Ccleaner and click Run Cleaner also use the issues
button and fix and faults detected

Programs tab then click the "Reset Web Settings" button.
Click Apply then OK.


* Next go to Control Panel > Display. Click on
the "Desktop" tab then click the "Customize Desktop"
button. Click on the "Web" tab. Under "Web Pages" you
might see an entry checked called something
like "Security info" or similar. If it is there, select
that entry and click the "Delete" button. Click OK then
Apply and OK.(Dont worry if it doesnt exist)


Restart back into Windows normally now.


Run A online virus scan here

When the scan is finished, anything that it cannot clean
have it delete it. Make a note of the file location of
anything that cannot be deleted so you can delete it
yourself- Save the results from the scan!


If your clean turn off system restore & reboot then re-
enable it again incase you have restore points saved
since you got infected.

Let me know if you have problems or need help with
anything.

Regards

Andy
 
Just wanted to add this:

Smitrem will delete all these:

Security IGuard,Virtual Maid,Search Maid,AntiVirusGold,
PSGuard & SpySheriff

All of them are regarded as Rogue remover's which will in
my view cause alot more problems than they can solve but
if you wish to keep any of them do not use SmitRem

Also check your add/remove screen first and remove
SpySherrif as that will make things abit easier when you
start running the fixes

If you need any help just let me know

Regards Andy
