adaware SE plus

[mcmso]

I need help with my Adaware SE Plus. everytime I run a scan on my computer Adaware finds a critical and then my computer shuts down, and restarts. I have other anti spyware installed and none of them have any problems. The others are Noadware, and winpatrol. Can someone help me figure this out plz....

if you are doing a manual scan.......
the other programs can affect aaw ,and aaw can affect the other programs

it is like running two anti-virus programs, and two firewalls
they don't play nice ;-D

so try a manual scan with your other programs disabled !!!
i have seen problems with a/v to, so just shut down all, be offline and try a scan and let us know what happens
if it works, you can find out which one doesn't want to play nice

mcmso,
Apart forom trrying the things that mitch has said can you please make sure that you are using  Ad-aware SE Build 106 plus with the latest  Definition file (SE1R82.19.12.2005)
if you are not using Ad-aware SE Build 106 plus then I recommend that you get a fresh download of it then after installing it update it
(Note you will need the details that were sent to you when getting your fresh download of Ad-aware  SE Build 106 plus

I shut the others down and made sure i have the latest definitions: It worked once and now it freezes on me. I know there is a post about the freezing so i will try and read those. Any comments still welcome and thanks for the help.

mcmso,
I recommed that you try doing a thorough Disk Defrag and follow it with  Check or Scan Disk depending upon your version of Windows.
Now it may take a few scans to complete, but it should work for you. Reboot after each scan
please can you clear out your cache folder ie: temporary internet folder also
please can you make sure that you still have "Ticks by these :
"Unload recognized processes during scanning",
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
to do this Open Ad-aware SE
Click "settings" (the Gear)
then Click "Tweaks",
then click "Scanning Engine"
Tick ."Unload recognized processes during scanning"
Then Click "Cleaning Engine"
And Tick
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
then Click "proceed".
now use the WebUpDate
(to make sure you are upto date) if you want to clean your PC then scan by doing a
"Full Scan" then and once the scan has finished
Highlite one items that there seems to be a bunch of.
Right click and choose the command to highlite all of those entries.
Then remove them.
then  Reboot (ie: Re-start your PC)
(Do this with all of the items  with multiple objects then When you are reduced to just the others items with one or a few, remove them. )
Then re-scan  doing a  "Full Scan" and  then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .

Hi, mcmso.  There was enough of a logfile to show up the problem.  That psguard is part of the W32.Sinnaka.A@mm.  I've been dealing with it daily at another site. 

Follow these instructions carefully.  You may want to print them so you don't miss a step. 

First, please right click on the Ad-Watch icon in your system tray and make sure that "Automatic" is turned OFF.  Since you will be scanning in safe mode, there is no need to disable the real time monitors.  However, please accept any prompts for changes to the registry after you restart in normal mode. 

A.  Download and/or update the following programs.  Install them but do NOT run them yet.

• smitRem.exe© noahdfear. Save the file to your desktop.  Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.
  
• Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop.
  
• Download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:  http://www.ewido.net/en/download/, following the setup instructions here:  Ewido Security Suite (Trial) Instructions.  Install Ewido and update the definitions to the newest files.
  
• Download CCleaner from the link at the upper right of this page: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner.html . 
  
• Check Ad-Aware for updates.
  
  B.  Enter the Windows Control Panel and double-click on Add/Remove Programs. When the installed programs list appears, double-click on any of the following entries that appear, and allow them to uninstall ... no worries if you don't see some/all of them:
  
  Security IGuard
  Virtual Maid
  Search Maid
  PSGuard
  
  Then exit the Add/Remove Programs screen and the Control Panel.
  
  C.  Instructions for using CCleaner
  
• Before first use, check under Options > Advanced > UNcheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours".
  
• A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
  
• To protect logon cookies that you wish to retain, under Options > Cookies.  Select and using the arrow move those cookies to the "Cookies to keep" column.
  
• Then select the items you wish to clean up:
  
  In the Windows Tab:
  
  Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section.
  Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
  Clean all entries in the "System" section.
  Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
  Clean any others that you choose.
  
  In the Applications Tab:
  
  Clean all in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
  Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
  Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
  Clean any others that you choose.
  
  
• Click the "Run Cleaner" button and it will scan and clean your system.
  
• Click exit.
  
  D.  Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  
• Restart your computer
  
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
  
  E. Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.  Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
  
  The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.
  
  F.  Open Ad-Aware and do a full scan.  Before scanning, UNcheck "Search for negligible risk entries".  Remove all it finds.
  
  G.  Shutdown/Restart in SafeMode as instructed above.  Run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
    
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
    
  • Click Save report.
    
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
    
  Now close ewido security suite.
  
  H.  Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Website > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.
  
  I. Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut.
  
  
  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
    
  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button
    
  • Enter your Country
    
  • Enter your State/Province
    
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send
    
  • Select either Home User or Company
    
  • Click the big Scan Now button
    
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
    
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
    
  • When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
    
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
    Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new Ad-Aware SE Log run in Normal Mode (without MRU's, please), the contents of smitfiles.txt and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.
    
    Let us know if any problems persist.

Note:  An alternate download site has been added for the smitRem© fix.  If you cannot get it from the link above, please use this site:  smitRem.exe.

Thank you.
