ABetterInternet Trojan Loader?

[Greg Tilford]

Hi,
I had a previous post on how to remove ABetterInternet
and received a number of helpful responses.
Unfortunately none keep it away very long. I suspect
that there is a trojan loader that keeps bringing it back
to life. I've run AdAware with the plugins, nailfix,
Ewido, ccleaner, norton, Microsoft Antispyware, cleared
the prefecth, cleared the temp folders, etc., and a host
of others but keep getting reinfected.

Suggestions? I've been fighting this one over a week...

Thanks,
Greg Tilford

ok well all ready posted lots about this infection. well
what you said is true most of the spyware removers cant
take this infection away and yes MS anti-spyware cant take
it away at the moment the best way that i found to detect
and remove this infection is by using a program called Ewido..

what follows is an answer that i gave another user some
time ago to help her remover this infection
-----------
lots of people say u need to install nail.exe but i didnt
do it because i dnt like the whole reboot in safe mode i
thought that there was an esayer way and well i found it..
if you download this program
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Ewido is a very good spyware and other bug remover its only
a 30 day trial but it should do just fine for you.. just
install it and download the updates and then scan.. it took
my aurora.exe off and all the other infections that came
with this.

if this scan doesnt work ten you can download the nail.exe

after u downloaded the nail.exe then just follow these steps
download Nailfix.exe
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the
following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup,
but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

For additional help in booting into Safe Mode, see the
following site:
http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml



Once in Safe Mode, please double-click on Nailfix.cmd. Your
desktop and icons will disappear and reappear, and a window
should open and close very quickly --- this is normal.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the
logfile from the scan.

-----

well i mean from what you understood you dont relly need to
use nail.exe but if you want you can.

i hope i helped you

Greg--The ad-aware VX2 cleaner may have been rev'ed since you originally
downloaded it. It is worth trying again now, if you still need it.
