Getting rid of Ultimate Defender/Fixer/Cleaner

[Daedalus]

Can anyone help me get rid of this awful piece of (insert VERY explicit tirade here)

I found some guides on how to manually remove the Ultimate Defender stuff but:

The files does not exist.
The Proccesses does not exist.
The Registry Keys does not exist.

The only thing I have found is a piece of software called Spysweeper but that only scans in the free edition. I have to purchase it to get rid of it.


Does anyone know anything that night help. I'm even willing to mess as deeply with Windows as needed. (WinXP)

Hi Daedalus. My searches turned up this:

Please follow these steps:

1. Download Pocket KillBox or KillBox utility.

2. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,D efault_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,D efault_Page_URL = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,L ocal Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,L ocal Page = about:blank
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [czpeexk.dll] C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\rundll32.e xe "C:\Documen ts and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\czpeexk.dl l",rzqlgze
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoSys] C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\autosys.ex e

3. Now restart your system in Safe Mode. This step is very important!

4. Once in Safe Mode, use either Pocket KillBox or KillBox to delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\autosys.ex e
C:\Documents and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\czpeexk.dl l
C:\Documents and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\rzqlgze.*

5. Reboot your computer. Download the free version of SUPERAntiSpywar e. Install the program, update its definitions and run a complete system scan.
