    After installing Spybalster and Ad-aware (for removal of spyware), I noticed, that some of the spyware is back in the PC every day. Do you have any idea how this can be prevented?

    The log-file from Ad-aware6.0 is attached
    Thanks

    Hi Stijn,

    I think AdAware recognizes the Program folder of the Startportal (aka MS-Connect) dialer, but not the executable.

    Please go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/, and download 'Hijack This!'.
    Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

    When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
    Press that, save the log as a .txt file, and copy and paste its contents into your next post.

    Most of what it lists will be harmless, so do not fix anything yet.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Stijn,

    No need for CWShredder.
    (Sub I want a word with you - :mad: <= firm look)

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

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Startpagina = file:///C:/Program%20Files/Startportal/Portal/portal.html

    O2 - BHO: myBar BHO - {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\Program Files\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MYBAR.DLL

    O3 - Toolbar: &SearchBar - {0494D0D9-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\Program Files\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MYBAR.DLL

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART


    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Diskstart] C:\WINDOWS\System32\hit.exe

    O16 - DPF: {1D6711C8-7154-40BB-8380-3DEA45B69CBF} (Web P2P Installer) -

    O16 - DPF: {841A9192-5690-11D4-A258-0040954A01BE} (DialXSCtl Object) - http://dialxs.nl/install/dialxs.ocx

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
    C:\Program Files\Startportal <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\MyWay <= entire folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\hit.exe <= the one that was bugging you.

    Regards,

    Pieter
