    The advice about Internet Options does not track with XP. I think the problem started with RAX search. I tried to delete everything, but I still get the same popup error with Spyware Blaster enabled. I ran Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. The above log is after I FIXED a few entries with Hijackthis that didn't correct the problem.

    Hi stannats,

    Welcome to Wilders!

    Before we proceed, it appears that you did not post your entire HJT log. Please doublecheck and repost your log if it was not complete or verify that it is your entire log. Some items seem to be missing.

    Regards,
    Kent

    It is the entire log created by HijackThis. What is missing? I used Hijack to remove some items. Here is the log before the deletions:

    Hi stannats,

    Welcome to Wilders.

    Before you start, please unzip or move HijackThis to a separate folder of its own. The program will make backups in the folder it's in. These easily get lost in a temporary folder or a folder with other programs.

    Check the following items in HijackThis.
    Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

    Download CWShredder and run. Be sure ALL other windows are closed and use the Fix button and follow the instructions you will receive.

    There also may be hidden files. See HERE for how to show hidden files.

    This entry:
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{F6E4DC28-C8E2-4900-AE77-BEC6F82BB321}: NameServer = 66.81.7.158 66.81.0.252
    You need to restore it from your HJT backups. It is your DNS servers.

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:

    C:\Program Files\SideFind\ <-- entire folder
    C:\WINDOWS\dizekucu.dll
    c:\PROGRA~1\System\Misc\ <-- entire folder

    Reboot and then post a fresh HijackThis log.

    Regards,
    Kent

    #17 is only there when I am on the net, which I was not when I ran the second log. I could not find dizekucu.dll. I deleted Sidefind and system\Misc. I ran CWShredder and LSPfix. Here's my new Hijack log:

    When I look at Task Manager Processes I see 5 svchost.exe entries. I understand some of these might contain bad ****, how do I tell?

    My log may be clean but I am still getting the same popup:
    mainAutomation can't create server
    when Spyware Blaster is enabled

    Hi stannats,

    Had I known that was the error report, it would have been much easier.
    Have HijackThis fix:
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3DE88907-3E38-11D4-BEB2-CBE76C0598DD} - C:\Program Files\ISP50\bin\BandObject.dll
    with all other Windows closed.
    Or find that CLSID in SpywareBlaster and remove protections for it.

    Regards,

    Pieter
