Popupsearch.com and hyperlinking words

Roshni
roshu@comcast.net
03/28/05

Whenever I turn on my computer and open up IE, a bunch of popups open up as well as a separate page for my home page. If I try to google anything, popupsearches.com comes up and all of this is really starting to slow down my computer. Along with that, since all of this starting happening, random words on sites and in my email become hyperlinked and it is getting irritating. There are also times when icons just show up on my desktop and I don't know where from.

Thanks in advance. Here is the log from Hijackthis.

Ok Roshni, not the results i thought would come back, but that's a good thing.

Here's what we have to do next.

fire up hijack this, hit scan only and place checks next to these.

Close all browsers and click fix on hijack this.

This comes next.

See hidden files and folders

go to this file and delete.

c:\windows\system32\ydxvoac.exe<---This file

Reboot and send a new hijack log please.

Roshni

Okay, I ran and clicked on the files you put up and then clicked fix. Except for the first one which for some reason was not showing up when I scanned. Also, when I went to delete the file you said, I couldn't find it. Should I do another scan before rebooting my computer? Or reboot and then do another scan?

Yes! Thanks John. The stupid popups didn't come up when I opened up IE and I tried a google search and popupsearch.com didn't come up. And those stupid hyperlinked words are gone as well.

Thank you so much. I'm so glad I found this place.

Thanks again :-)

You're very welcome and we are glad you found this place as well. I'm just going to provide a little reading so that you can avoid reinfection. :-)

How did I get infected in the first place ? (by Mr. Tony Klein and dvk01)

And your quite welcome, come on back anytime.
