How to remove windowsclick.com redirect [UACd.sys trojan]

Thanks Very Much Patrick!

The avenger trick stops this one in its tracks as allows Malwarebytes and my Kasperskp to remove it!

I shall mention that this UACd.sys trojan caused the following problem so as to help fellow sufferers, (maybe google will pick it up):

When trying to access a USB Stick I constantly got the following error

The maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded

I was searching for fixes to this problem specifically, until I noticed wierd UAC reg entries and a Uacinit.dll file in a file called AVENGER (this was previously undeleteable)on the C:\\ drive prior to even even reading the above and before downloading the Avenger program!!! Wierd (hopefully not a ploy) but true.

This trojan (for me) came with the lovely WinPC Defender malware program which somehow got onto my system.
NASTY! but you have saved me reinstalling xp and many many more hours stressing.

THANK YOU

Used your information to get rid of windowsclick problem and it worked GREAT and was VERY EASY !!!
Thanks for your help

THANK-YOU!!!
I tried following the steps you’ve posted and it wasn’t working for me… I almost completely restored my computer. But, something was telling that I wasn’t doing something right because so many people have had success… Okay, I’m rambling, sorry. Long story short, I didn’t realise that you have to type Folders to delete: or post another command in front of what you want to delete. So, I copy and pasted the data you have here and now my computer is working WODNERFULLY and I don’t have to deal with that annoyances of windowsclick.com or the headache of having to reinstall everything after a computer restore. THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU!
God Bless!

YAY!!!!! thankx ALOT, i was struggling trying to remove this shit from my computer… i dont know how i got this fucking virus but im glad its gone. Again, thanks a ton. For those people who are reading these messages and thinking that this will just further mess up your computer, forget that, download and install the software above, run the script and say bye bye to those pesky redirect viruses. anyways godbless the interweb and fuck the programmers who write these damn viruses..

Thanks guys, info here is really usefull
my antivirus wasnt working properly till i followed your advice
Thanks again

Patrik,
I bow to you, sir. I cannot thank you enough. I am so grateful. As had so many others, I had tried everything I knew for two weeks with no success, but I followed your intructions shown above, and like several other users experienced, the driver- UACd.sys trojan driver- did not show in the first step, but the rest of it worked beautifully. Thankfully, it was on a friend’s pc, not mine, and all of his malware protection was very out of date. Thanks, again. The world needs more people like you. I have a question. I only learned of Malwarebytes while researching/trying to get rid of this virus. I have been using Trend and have realized it is very weak. I notice software and free scanner programs mentioned on your site. Would you mind telling me which systems you recommend- specifically, as your site lists several of many of the same type products. And are rootkit finders/killers, and all the new-to-me products I only became aware of researching the removal of windowsclick necessary? Or am I safe enough just running malwarebytes and whatever? As you can tell, I am not very advanced and am begging for your guidance. I want to be protected, but it seems like we can take our defenses to an unnecessary/overkill level. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks again, very much.

Before coming here, I ran symantec antivirus adn ad-aware in safe mode, and deleted all history, cookies, etc. on both Fire Fox and IE. It seemed to fix the problem for Fire fox, the redirect stopped being an issue. But IE still didn’t work. I ran Hijackthis but it found nothing (at least not that I could tell). Then I came here, and skipped step one since it wasn’t visible. Avenger and MBAM found and deleted the UAC trojan.

After working on this for 4 hours today, it’s nice to feel relief once again (I don\’t know how some of you who posted here went for weeks with this trojan). Thanks Patrick.

Thanks a lot guys, this one was a real pain in the *%ss.. It even affected my Avira Profesional Rootkit. Your solution worked like a charm.
Again many many thanks!

Thanks a lot for the guide!! It worked flawlessly. After following the instructions of the useless technical service of ESET-Nod32 and wasting over a day scanning my PC, in just fifteen minutes I got rid of the annoying “windowsclick” trojan.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!

You did more than save my computer, you saved my business. It took 5 solid days, numerous malware programs, reg editors etc etc, nothing worked, no anitvirus programs, Nothing!! avenger worked a treat. Thank you so much for your help. THANK YOU !!!!!!!

I’d had this windowsclick for a few months…it was driving me mad, computer kept freezing when i logged on. Not knowing much about computers and being at my wits end i tried your suggestion. It has worked a treat, i had to skip step one as well. but it worked beautifully. MASSIVE THANK YOU

Thanks to Patrik and so many others – I was finally able to remove the windowsclick trojan after several tries and retries. Like so many others, step 1 didn’t find the driver, and my advice to others is to read through all the comments before you dive in – you may save yourself some time.

I do have one question – I now have AVG, Spybot S&D, and MBAM all loaded on my PC – will this cause system conflicts? I paid for AVG and was in the process of working back and forth through several e-mails with their technical staff – then Googled “windowsclick” at work and found this site and decided to proceed with the advice here. Also, I had not been able to run Spybot in recent months, even after deleting and reinstalling – but after running the processes here successfully, was able to launch Spybot again!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of putting together such a detailed and EFFECTIVE solution to this trojan!!! It saved me a ton of headaches!
