Torquay-Pete,

Your log is clean.

What is the exact problem you are having?

[Torquay-Pete]

Thanks Gecko, this Mirar keeps showing up in scans on the wifes Laptop. she is a bit Paranoid about online shopping (getting her details stolen etc) so I just wondered if her fears are genuine or is this Mirar nothing to worry about?
Thanks again Pete

[venney]

Are you able to uninstall Mirar from the add/remove programs in the control pannel?

[Gecko]

Torquay-Pete,

That’s really odd there is nothing in your log about Mirar tools bar or any sign that it was installed

Try running AVG Anti-Spyware in safe mode.
Reboot into Safe mode:
Restart Windows after you see the BIOS screen and before Windows starts to load.
Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears.
Use the Arrow key to ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while AVG Anti-Spyware is scanning:
1. Lauch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
2. Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
3. AVG Anti-Spyware will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
Once the scan is complete do the following:
4. Select the "Reports" icon at the top.
5. Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
6. If you have any infections you will be prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
7. Close AVG Anti-Spyware and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the results of the AVG Anti-Spyware report scan in your reply.

hi again
AVG cant find this thing, it shows up on No Adware scans only ???

[Gecko]

Torquay-Pete,

You must have one of the following files or registry entries still in your system.

When Adware.Mirar is installed, it does the following:
Creates the following files:

• %System%\WinDmy.dll
• %System%\Winnb56.dll
• %System%\WinNB57.dll
• %WinDir%\Downloaded Program Files\MirarSetup.exe
• %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\875455-NOSB.exe
• %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\mit3.tmp
• %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\mit3.tmp.cab


Creates the registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RelatedPageInstall

and adds subkeys and values to the subkey to set flags and configurations.
• Adds the value:

"ToolbarInstall" = "MirarSetup.exe"

to the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

so that the Adware runs when you start Windows.

Note: The value added to the run key may point to the location the Adware was run from.
• Adds the value:

"{9A9C9B68-F908-4AAB-8D0C-10EA8997F37E}" = ""

to the registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser
• Adds the values:

"C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\MirarSetup.exe" = ""
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinDmy.dll" = ""

to the registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE%\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs
• Attempts to download and install the Mirar Toolbar.


Creates the following registry keys:
