Hey guys. I've worked on this client's PC (windows XP pro SP3) six times already, each with the same problem.
AV Security Suite ends up installing itself, but the problem starts when pop ups appear out of no where. They are the usual porn, ED, etc. Eventually this thing installs.
So, I know how to remove the program manually from the registry, and where it installs itself. The problem I'm having is removing all of the networking crap the virus(s) changes. I know it changes something internally with IE or Windows Script or something because I cannot run Windows Update from IE or the automatic updates. I get a dns error.
I ran Winsock reg fix, disabled via registry the proxy settings, and ran malwarebytes, combofix, avira, and MS Security Essentials. After all of that a popup re appeared for some obscure search page shopica.com.
Anyway, I have it running another barage of scans over night and I am posting the hijackthis log to see if anyone can find anything unusual:
