Reboot in Safe Mode* and run HiJackThis.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe,

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows SA] C:\Program Files\WindowsSA\omniscient.exe


Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

While still in Safe Mode*, delete the following: (you may need to show hidden files**)
C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe
C:\Program Files\WindowsSA\ <-- folder


*How to Boot into Safe mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...001052409420406
**Show hidden files/folders as per the instructions here http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=190

Also, uncheck the boxes for hiding known file extensions and hiding protected operating system files. We want to see it all. When we finish here, it would be a good idea to rehide the protected operating system files but leave the rest to be shown.

Reboot in normal mode.

Post another HiJackThis log in this thread for review.

i did as you instructed. here is the hijack this log file

At last, your system is clean and free of spyware! Want to keep it that way?

Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future.

1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and IE. The first defense against infection is a properly patched OS.
a. Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

1. Adjust your security settings for ActiveX:
Go to Internet Options/Security/Internet, press 'default level', then OK.
Now press "Custom Level."
In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to 'prompt', and 'Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to 'disable'.

2. Download and install the following free programs]
a. SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
b. SpywareGuard: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html
c. IE/Spyad: http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm

1. Install Spyware Detection and Removal Programs:
You may also want to consider installing either or both of AdAware (free version) and Spybot S&D (freeware). Use these programs to regularly scan your system for and remove many forms of spyware/malware.
a. AdAware: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/SpyBot
b. Spybot S&D: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download


For more information about Spyware, the tools available, and other informative material, including information on how you may have been infected in the first place, please check out this link: http://forum.gladiator-antivirus.com/index...?showtopic=9857


Good luck, and thanks for coming to Gladiator Security Forums.
