HijackThis Log

I have been getting lots of pop-ups recently and have noticed something called DealHelper in my program files but it won't let me remove it.
I have MSN's pop up block and I haven't been having this many pop-ups until just today.
Please help if you can. Thanks.

Hi annie_lynn,

First uninstall webhancer from the add/remove programs list in control panel

Then, have only HijackThis running and fix :

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {707E6F76-9FFB-4920-A976-EA101271BC25} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D848A3CA-0BFB-4DE0-BA9E-A57F0CCA1C13} - C:\WINDOWS\dealhlpr.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {F2799AF9-207D-45D1-B7FA-9E3E5E86FE89} - C:\WINDOWS\sheopk.dll

O3 - Toolbar: Band Class - {D848A3CA-0BFB-4DE0-BA9E-A57F0CCA1C13} - C:\WINDOWS\dealhlpr.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\Program Files\TV Media\Tvm.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [lgsqj] C:\WINDOWS\helsrqoy.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [webHancer Survey Companion] "C:\Program Files\webHancer\Programs\whSurvey.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DealHelperUpdate] C:\WINDOWS\DHUpdt.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DealHelperBrwsr] C:\WINDOWS\dhbrwsr.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\Program Files\TV Media\Tvm.exe

Restart PC after doing so in Safe Mode : Here's How and remove (if still present) :

C:\Program Files\TV Media\ <- this folder
C:\WINDOWS\helsrqoy.exe <- this file
C:\WINDOWS\DHUpdt.exe <- this file
C:\WINDOWS\dhbrwsr.exe <- this file

Clean temp internet files

Restart again in normal mode

Hope this helps

Cheers,

 

Thanks for the help. It seems to have stopped the pop-ups.
I have one more question though. When I go into the Control Panel and Add or Remove Programs I still have something called DealHelper 1.0.0.35. When I try to remove it, it tells me that it can't delete it unless I remove all the dealhelper ad supported software off my computer. Is this something I need to get rid of and if so, how do I go about removing it??

Thanks

Hi annie_lynn,

It is not something that has to be removed. Te removal with HijackThis leaves some orphaned registry entries behind that any decent registry cleaner should be able to get rid off for you. Or you can wait untill this cr@pware is added for detection to your favorite spywarescanner and the removal process will be completed then.

Regards,

Pieter

 

ok.
Thanks again for all your help.
