    Hi, I have yet again encountered another search bar that
    has attached itself to my browser. I am running xp. I have
    already tried running spy-bot but that did not remove it. I have also upgraded to the most current version of spywareblaster. This has happened to me way to many times and I'm sure you know it can get frustrating.
    I have ran Hijack this and here are the results of the scan:
    Thanks for your help!

    first let's clean up as much as we can with adaware then we might be able to see something, there is a lot of hijackers/scumware in that log

    Download and unzip or install these programs/applications if you haven't already got them. If you have them, then make sure they are updated and configured as described

    Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de
    AdAware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download

    Run Sybot S&D

    After installing, first press Online, press search for updates, then tick the updates it finds, then press download updates. Beside the download button is a little down pointed arrow, select one of the servers listed. If it doesn't work or you get an error message then try a different server

    Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, press 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED.

    then reboot &

    Run ADAWARE

    Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
    the current ref file should read at least 01R289 13.04.2004 or a higher number/later date

    Then ........

    Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
    From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

    then......

    click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

    then.........

    go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

    then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

    Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

    When scan is finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) then press next and then say yes to the prompt, do you want to remove all these entries.

    reboot again

    then post a new hijackthis log to check what is left

    After you clean up again, consider taking simple steps to prevent getting spyware in the first place since apparently you continue to get this stuff on your PC. Better IMO than having to repeatedly rely on the kindness of others to assist you in cleaning up what could be easily prevented.

    While SpywareBlaster is a valuable tool, it's not a substitution for tightening up your browser settings. Default IE settings not only allow spyware to install itself on your PC, but also can allow other malware to infect your PC if you happen to run into it while surfing the internet. Having ActiveX enabled basically can allows executables to be installed on your PC without your knowledge. Some of them can be helpful to view/use a site that insists on using ActiveX but it's also an open door for other things not so benign or helpful to you and your PC. Allowing scripting is another potential vulnerability.

    In IE do not allow ActiveX to run on all sites in the internet zone. Disable it or set to prompt and don't allow it except on really trusted sites. Disable download on demand also. Here's a classic post by Tony Klein on how to better prevent such intrusions from reoccurring: http://forums.net-integration.net/index.php?showtopic=3051 . And specifically with regards to IE browser settings, here's a page on Eric Howe's site with a guide on how to better secure IE by tightening up its settings. http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/btw/ie/ie-opts.htm .
