    Hey,

    I don't know how or where I ended up getting this virus, but after downloading at least 3 spyware programs (ad-aware, spybot, etc..) second thought still comes up whenever I restart my computer (just a webpage and a prompt asking me to install it). After scanning my computer a million times, I still cannot get rid of this bug. I have a feeling it has embedded itself in my system restore files and keeps refreshing itself every time I turn on my computer. I would like to avoiding turning off the system restore, if I can. Please help!!!

    Here is my HijackThis Log....

    Thnx Pilli,

    Hi AllSmiles04,

    Have only HijackThis running and fix :

    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: My Search BHO - {014DA6C1-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10} - C:\Program Files\MySearch\bar\1.bin\S4BAR.DLL

    Restart PC after doing soand remove :

    c:\installer\id53.exe <- this file

    If 2nd thought indeed is detected in the _restore folder, then the only way to get rid of it is turn of system restore, do a fresh restart and enable system restore again

    Hope this helps

    Cheers,
