| Welcome to TSG Adaware and Spybot should have removed a lot of the crap you have.....and believe me you have quite a lot  Im going to enclose my canned speech for both programs and some A/V scans. ========================================= Download AdAware SE from here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate". Then ........ Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN" From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan" Then...... Click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files" Then......... Go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot" Then...... click "proceed" to save your settings. Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button. When scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) Now re-boot... Then Download Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates. Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED. Activate the "Imunize" function. ========================================================== Run an online antivirus check from at least one and preferably 2 of the following sites.... http://virusscan.jotti.dhs.org/ http://www.kaspersky.com/remoteviruschk.html http://www.dials.ru/english/www_av/ http://security.symantec.com/default.asp? http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ Re-boot again. =============================== You are running HijackThis from your desktop, this is not a good idea because when we do a fix...HijackThis will create backups and they will be spread all over your desktop. Can you please create a folder for the program....call it Hijack (or something similar)its ok to leave the folder on the desktop for now.Download a fresh copy of HijackThis as yours is out of date...... Then extract into the folder you have created and run it from there. When you have done that,delete the previous copy of HijackThis that you have on your desktop. Then post a new HijackThis log to check what is left. And when this is all clean... Consider installing the following: SpywareBlaster v 3.0 and SpywareGuard v2.2, to prevent Active-X drive-by installations, as well as provide real-time browser hijacking protection: http://www.wilderssecurity.net/index.html IE-SPYAD, a registry file that adds a long list of known "sites" to the Restricted Sites of your Internet Explorer: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm You should check regularly for updates on all these programs Mozilla FireFox,much safer,faster and lighter browser than IE. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ ============================================

| Thank you for all of your help. Your suggestions cleared everything up. There wasn't a need to post another hijackthis log since there isn't anything in it that isn't a valid entry. Thanks again for all of your advice.  |
