I have run AntiSpyware several times, been through the
process to clean the spyware/viruses it detects, and keep
finding the same programs each time I restart my computer
and run another scan.

These detected problems are:

Transponder.ABetterInternet.DrPMon Adware
Transponder.ABetterInternet.Aurora Adware
Trojan.Dinst Trojan


I've used AntiSpyware as well as McAfee VirusScan, and
nothing seems to work. McAfee sometimes doesn't even
detect these threats.

A few times after cleaning and restarting my computer as
prompted by AntiSpyware, my computer has frozen up to the
point where I have had to unplug it manually. I've also
tried running both programs in Safe Mode, but it doesn't
make a difference.

The only real difference in performance that I've noticed
is a pop-up window that appears every now and then on the
left side of my monitor (this will appear for about half
a second, not long enough to see what is on it)and an
increase in trojans/viruses automatically detected and
cleaned by McAfee.

I've tried just about everything I could think of to get
rid of these problems to no avail. Any
information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just please keep in mind that I'm not the most computer
literate person. Thank you in advance.
 
Hi

Form Andy (The great)

The only fix ive got up to now is to download Nailfix,
Ewido & Ccleaner as usual

Nailfix:
--------

http://www.noidea.us/easyfile/file.php?
download=20050711214630636

or

http://xsorbit26.com/users5/andymanchesta/index.php?
action=dlattach;topic=3719.0;id=310


Ewido-Install & update in normal mode and use in safe mode
------
http://www.ewido.net/en/


Ccleaner:
---------
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp


Then goto start menu and to run and type:

services.msc

When this opens press name to sort them in order and find:

System Startup Service

Right click and view properties then press 'Stop' and
change the startup type from 'Automatic' to 'Disabled'and
click apply - this is svcproc.exe

Next boot into safe mode (Reboot and keep tapping F8 then
choose safe mode from the list)

Once you are in safe mode double click Nailfix.exe and
then follow the instructions-explorer.exe will be stopped
for a few seconds then your desktop icons and taskbar
will come back.

Next run Ewido on a complete scan as many times as it
takes to remove the files, It took me 3 full scans.

Also use MS Antispy as that does better at detecting some
of the junk that is now being bundled with Aurora.

Finally use Ccleaner twice on both settings 'Run Cleaner'
and 'Issues' and clear all problems

Clear the prefetch folder

goto start and run and type

prefetch

delete the contents of this folder

Then Reboot back to normal mode and thats it,

If there is any error's about not being able to find
nail.exe it means its still hooked to explorer even
though the file is missing but I made a quick regfix to
restore that line which I can post also spybot showed it
fixed that line so maybe run a scan with that

I followed step by step up to this point. I ran
services.msc, but cannot find "System Startup Service".
Could it be under another name, or would there be another
way to find it and disable it?

I did a search and found "svcproc.exe", but couldn't find
a way to disable it from there.

Any help?
