Title: web rebates exe
Post by: daveeb on October 17, 2004, 13:46

Grrrrr.  Got this highly annoying adware.  Got rid of it yesterday with hijack this in safe mode but it has returned and is more intrusive than ever.  Anyone got any tips on keeping it at bay.   >:(

Found this on another forum Dave, may be worth giving it a try  :)

 First, we need to take care of WebRebates though.


Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall "WebRebates" and "FlashJet", if found.

Next, fire up Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DEL), "Processes" tab, and END these processes :

WebRebates1.exe
WebRebates0.exe

Now, locate and delete these two files in bold :

C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\WebRebates1.exe
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\WebRebates0.exe

Ok, have ONLY HijackThis! running, and check to fix these entries (then click on "Fix checked") :

O18 - Filter: text/plain - {E75A984A-6D2A-4CAB-AEFF-37BBE4EE7AEC} - C:\WINDOWS\madopew.dll

Now, please Reboot your computer in Safe Mode, then locate and delete the following file and folders, if found :

C:\WINDOWS\digfilt.dll <<< file
C:\Program files\FlashGet <<< entire folder
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates <<< entire folder

Reboot normally. Scan with HJT, then post a fresh log ;
