Hello,

Please your advice.

Why I can not remove all dialers after "remove"-I have two anti-dialers
programs.
After Restart it repeats itself again.
In Safe Mode, too.

Thanks,

Joseph

1) Download the following item...

Adaware SE (Free personal version)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

2) Update Adaware with latest definitions.
3) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDoc...SysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
5) Using Adaware SE, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete
any parasites found.
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using Adaware
7) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
Reboot your PC.
9) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point

This is not to dump on you, but yo point you towards a better resource.
You'd be better off asking these sorts of questions in alt.privacy.spyware.

Heh I can answer his question. The best fix is to format and start
over. While this is a painful solution, it is the right one. If stuff
has infested to the point where the box owner has lost control of the
device it is highly probable that crud has been loaded that is
undetectable by most tools. You can stabilize a system to get user
files off, but once activity this user has identified occurs, tis best
to be rebuilt. Good article at SANs on how to do this:

Combating Windows Malware Tutorial (using WinXP Pro)
http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?date=2005-05-24

Sure you can spend hours cleaning up the system and have near a virgin
system, but you can never be sure that you have not left something
behind. This is especially true if you have not checksummed your files
and logged file dates for validation. Once virginity is lost, it is
hard to fully trust a system again especially if the system has been
compromised. There are many exploits that simply replace a system DLL
with one that has been modified. One can do most anything to a system
this way if you are using custom code, and no virus or spyware tool that
I am aware of will see anything abnormal if the code is original. I
suspect this person may have more than common spyware. The is some new
code floating around written by a crapware developer that puts the hurt
on a system very quickly. Good review of activity:

http://www.mnin.org/write/2005_trimode.html

While the immunizations spybot can give you is useful, and good for some
minor exploits, it is best to rebuild a system once it has been compromised.
