Can't remove spyware

I have been hijacked and can not remove it. From safe mode, I have ran Microsoft Anti Spyware, Ad-Aware, About Buster, and Spybot. About Blank keeps coming back and I have something else called TIB browser. Also, I can not access My Computer, Control Panel, etc. Help!!!

Hello,
Please could you download and unzip About:Buster from AboutBuster. Leave it for now, we'll use it later. Also download and install Ad-aware from here.

Once you have installed Ad-aware, run the program and in the bottom right hand corner click Check For Updates. Update Ad-aware following the prompts and then close the program, we will use it later.

Then boot into Safe Mode and ensure that you are showing Hidden Files and Folders beforehand.

Go to Start> Run and type services.msc.

Locate Workstation NetLogon Service. Double click it and click the Stop button in the Properties window. Select Disabled from the drop down menu next to Startup Type. Click Ok and exit Services.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to get into Task Manager. Once in Task Manager, end the following processes (if they exist):

crlq32.exe

Restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to these entries and click Fix Checked:
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O23 - Service: Workstation NetLogon Service - Unknown - C:\WINDOWS\crlq32.exe (file missing)

Delete the following files and folders:

C:\WINDOWS\wincd32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\d3ag.exe
C:\WINDOWS\crlq32.exe

Now run the file aboutbuster.exe that we downloaded earlier. When the tool is open press the Ok button, then the Start button, then the Ok button, and then finally the Yes button. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.When finished, press the "Save log" button. I will want a copy of that log after all steps are completed here.

Copy the contents of this quote box to Notepad:

Click File> Save As. Click the drop down arrow next to Save as type: and select all files. In the filename box type fix.reg. Save it to a convenient location. Once saved, double click it and confirm that you want it to merge with the registry.

Now Start Ad-aware

We need to configure Ad-aware for a full scan.

Click on the Gear icon (second from the left) to access the preferences/settings window

1. In the General window make sure the following are selected:

• Automatically save log-file
• Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
• Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

2. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select :

• Scan Within Archives
• Scan Active Processes
• Scan Registry
• Deep Scan Registry
• Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
• Scan my Hosts file
• Under Click here to select drives + folders, choose:
• All of your hard drives

Click on the Advanced button on the left and select:

• Include additional process information
• Include additional file information
• Include environment information

Click the Tweak button and select:

• Under the Scanning Engine:
  • Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
  • Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
• Under the Cleaning Engine:
  • Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

Click on Proceed to save the settings.

Click Start and on the next screen choose Activate in-depth Scan at the bottom of the page and then choose:

• Use Custom Scanning Options

Click Next and Ad-aware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

Save the log file when it asks and then click Finish

When finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose Select All from the drop down menu and click Next).

Then go to Start> Run and type cleanmgr.

Put a checkmark next to:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

Click Ok

Reboot into Normal Mode.

Note: Two, possibly three files may have been deleted from your computer by the hijacker and may need to be replaced:

Control.exe. If control.exe is missing go to merijn and download the version of control.exe for your operating system. If you are running Windows 2000, copy it to c:\winnt\system32\. For Windows XP, copy it to c:\windows\system32\.

hosts (with no extension). Download the Hoster. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. Note: if you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself

SDHelper.dll (if you are using Spybot Search & Destroy). If you have Spybot S&D installed and SDHelper.dll is missing, replace it with this one. Copy the file to the folder containing your Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

Additionally, Please check your ActiveX security settings. They may have been changed by this CWS variant to allow all ActiveX. In IE, click Tools> Internet Options and then click the Security tab. Click on Custom Level and make sure that the following settings are correct:

Download signed ActiveX controls (Prompt)
Download unsigned ActiveX controls (Disable)
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe (Disable)
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins (Enabled) (This actually refers to Java and Flash, not ActiveX)
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting (Prompt)

Pay a visit to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and let it scan for and remove any viruses, worms or trojans you may have.

Then post a fresh Hijack This log and your About:Buster log here.
