Spy ware

Having some probs. After visiting a dodgey website for a SNES Emulator, ive have a **** load of stuff added to PC.
Ive managed to clean 90% of it but 2 Reg Keys and 1 Reg value wont remove. Used Spybot, ad-Aware, Hijackthis, manual removal using regedit and it seems to keep replicating itself as it keeps re appearing. Its also hijacked my redirect for auto search to some ****ty site. Removed the host file under sys32>Drivers>etc but keeps coming back.

Yuk, any ideas?

O heres a log from ad-aware

Have you downloaded the latest updates for Adaware and Spybot?

Is IE running while you're running the scans or do you have it closed down?

My advice would be :



i) dont visit dodgy pr0n sites;

ii) if you do dont download any web cam stuff or video clips.

Hope this helps.

I installed something that hijacked my browser home page everytime I rebooted. Clear it out - set it to blank page - reboot - returns to searches.com (or some such garbage) within 3 reboots.

None of the SpyWare things found it.

Installed ZoneAlarm again and it pointed out a hidden executable trying to access DNS for lookups. Dumped it and debugged the output and it had the URL's hidden in it! Unhide, squash, problem gone away!

\o/
 
Didn't block this, my firewal did go nuts asking if i should grant access. Said no everytime. Got spammed about 10 times in space of a minute with ''Trust this company''. Had a hunch i should do a check and this happened. Nearly got it sorted anyway
 
I pretty much cleared all the trash out cept for this file...

ajaamon.dll

It got modified the day my PC went whacky. I cant delete it cos its being used by something but cant find out what. AD-aware says its a high risk threat too and it cant delete it either. In windows>System32 folder.

Annoying, cant find what this file is linked too :(
