Hello -

I am helping out my friend remove spyware from his machine and I have used ad-aware, spybot, ccleaner, downloaded avg, zonealarm, spyware blaster, and spyware guard. I have taking a "beginner" look at his log and it looks ok to me but wanted a second opinion. I have also pleaded with him to take off limewire to no avail.

I have included both his log and startup log.

Thanks for your help.

Hi jmcalla,

QUOTE
I have also pleaded with him to take off limewire to no avail.
You can ask him to use FrostWire.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application. Beware it is NOT supported for use in 9x or ME and probably will not install in those systems

Ugrading Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

For the rest it looks okay.

thank you. Java has been updated and frostwire has been recommended.
