I'm 10 minutes old into the world of Hijack This and I sure could use your guy's help! I'm familliar with Spybot but it's apparantly missing some problems as I see a few sketchy processes running, but I'm not exactly fluent in figuring out which ones I want and which I dont. So far I've saved a log in its own folder (C:/Program Files/Hijack This) as Ive seen other members suggest, and here are my results....

...This is my first time using this program so I might be a little slow with normal Hijack This procedures but I really appreciate anyone who can help taking the time to do so!

Yuk, you have a whole lot of junk still on there. What version of Spybot are you using and what is the date of the latest update on it? In the program, look under the *Help* tab and then "About" It will give you the version and last update date.

Please also download this free program to scan and do some more cleaning:

Download Adaware (get the free edition)
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
(choose download from the lefthand menu)

Go to: Select Full Install and choose the download location of your choice (1.7mb)
Choose Download from
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=965718306 <--(I found FileForum easiest)

Be sure to UPDATE BEFORE SCANNING FIRST!! That is a very important step and I have included easy directions.

Also download and install the Vx2 Cleaner Plugin. Download it here:
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/plugins/vx2cleaner.shtml

After download and installing first, please update the program. Just open Adaware and click on *Check for Updates Now* and then *Connect*. It will find a new reference-file. Click *ok* and let it download and install the updates by clicking on *Finish* .This will return you to the main screen. You should now see Reference File # : 01R331 08.07.2004 or higher listed.

In Ad-aware click the Gear icon to go to the Settings area.

The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.

Under the Scanning button:

Scan within archives

Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING

In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

Under the Advanced button, check ALL under Log detail level (this makes it easier for visitors to the Lavasoft Support Forums to see what options you have selected should you require assistance.)

Under the Tweak button...

Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:

Unload recognized processes during scanning


Include info about ignored objects in logfile, if detected in scan

Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile

Include used command line parameters in logfile

In Cleaning Engine:

XP/2000: Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletion

Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

UNCHECK: Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion

Click Proceed to save these settings.

Don't scan yet, please. We need to do the next steps in SAFE MODE, so please copy these instructions so you have them handy since you will probably not be able to get online in safe mode.

Now, Reboot into safe mode (instructions included in case you need them.
How to start the computer in Safe mode
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgen...src=sec_doc_nam

Open Adaware, Press *scan now* and put a dot in the box next to *use Custom scanning options*, then click *Next* to start your scan.

Checkmark any items found after scanning to remove (this will actually put them in quarantine and can recover from backup if any should not be removed).

Reboot your PC after cleaning with Adaware and scan again. Repeat the process until no further items are found as bad.

Scan once more with Hijackthis and don't remove anything yet in the log. Post it back here so we can see what may remain to be fixed :)

Ouch I didnt know I was that deep in the creek :w00t: but it has been running very slow; my Spybot is v 1.3 (the most recent version i think) and i check for updates upon scanning regularly, so it must just be I need to do that Adaware thing and get the excess crap off my geekbox :)... and thank you SO much for giving me all those instructions and information, I dont have time tonight but will get to it hopefully early this week to try and kill my other problems. Thanks again for your time and I'll report back as soon as I follow those step by steps :)

Ok, WhiteChocolate- we'll be here and leave the light on for ya
