Hey DAL team - how are you guys?
I believe I was infected by Spyware Quake, or something with really similar problems. I have the same desktop icons and issues as the guy in
this post, except that I never saw the registry scan at startup.
Before I found this website, I did my own cleanup - disabling add-ons in I.E., deleting links, checking for unfamiliar processes (wasn't familar enough to rule everything out, unfotunately). I got it to the point where IE didn't auto-start to the hackers' website claiming to 'fix my problems' if I paid them for their 'spyware removal tools' (rolls eyes), but I knew I still had a serious problem when IE wouldn't let me save a home page - it would hang forever when I tried to set one, and it would return to about
:blank every time. SpyBot, Windows Defender, and AdAware all found nothing on my computer, as did AVG.
At this point, I found the post linked to above by doing a Google search on the websites these mysterious desktop icons linked to... I went through the process advised there, and am posting here as a follow-up to see what's left. (At least one of the programs reported a few things left on the system... happily, however, the symptom that prompted my search to begin with (the IE home page problem) has been fixed). (also - you will notice in the smitfiles.txt report that I left two of the bad links on my computer for reference purposes when I was cleaning through everything by hand before I found your site)
Any help would be appreciated greatly... I am posting all the info you asked FreakY for (again, in the post I linked to above) after he finished his cleanup. I hope it's clean, but this is my work computer and I cannot take any chances.
Regards,
~j
