paypopup and superlogy

Hi,

I have been running Ad-aware and S&D, plus Spyware Blaster for the last month. I love Spyware Blaster and how it stops the sites from loading. However, there has been one nagging site (paypopup/superlogy) that continues to load, even though the page with their graphics doesn't. The URL is: http://www4.paypopup.com/loading.ph...1072859616&ref=http://www.superlogy.com/p.asp

My Hijack log is as follows:

Can anyone please tell me how to eliminate this? I am also experiencing a slowdown of my IE, but am not sure if this is connected to it or not.

Thank you,
Tina Dante

 

Hi tdante,

Before you start, please unzip hijackthis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder in the folder it's in.
These easily get lost in a Temp folder.

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

Then reboot. It should diminish the slowdown, but I am not sure about the paypopup thing.

Let us know,

Pieter

 

Hi Pieter,

Thank you. This helped. I am still having problems, however, with what appears to be a hijacked search engine issue. For example, if I do a normal search on Google, it takes me to a intermediate page that seems to have links to other search engine-like addresses or some type of toolbars. Any advice?

Thanks,
Tina

 

Hi tdante,

Can you see if this file exists on your computer:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msdhmd.dll

Let me know.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Hi Pieter,

No, do not have that file.

Tina

 

Hi tdante,

He, that would have been too easy.

Please download:
http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe

Doubleclick it and install in folder of choice on the root drive, in your case C:\

Run start.bat and press option 1. 'output.txt' will be created in the folder

Post the content please.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Pieter,

True - would have been too easy. Here ya go!
