Browser hijacked by Xads

Please help me... I'm getting popups because of Xads offer optimizer. If you help me get rid of this, I swear I'm not visit any "bad" sites anymore... I've read other threads about Hijackthis log file... so I've run it... Here's the log:

***NOTE*** Disable any active resident Anti-virus program before running the scans

Run at least one of these two on-line anti-virus programs.

As appropriate, make sure the "heuristics" and "Auto Clean" boxes are checked.

If anything's found, allow it to clean the file. If it's "uncleanable" DELETE everything the virus scan finds.

Re-start the computer between each scan.

Hi guys,

I ran the said scans. Then I reran the HijackThis and fixed all entries that seemed dubious to me. THAT DID IT !!!

Obviously I read other threads about xads first. I'm a semi-tech guy myself. Thanks again.

Bye,
Avi

 

Restart and post a final HJT log. It's always nice to have an extra set of eyes review it.

 

Here you are sir... The fresh log ... Let me know... Thanks...

Well...

You can uninstall BroadJump. The link below is directly from Cox's High Speed Internet page.

http://www.support.cox.net/custsup/downloads/cfd_remove.shtml

You can disable the lines below from auto-starting...Your call. Other than that............Nothing bad in the log.

After reading your reply I searched info on WildTangent. Its a spyware which collects system info. So I've removed that. The BroadJump and Office startups are ok with me.

Please put the thread on a closed status. Thanks.

Avi.

 

Yea, that's why I suggested you disable the WildTangent start-up. Some people use it, some don't.

Happy surfing.
