Hi-Jack log (xlime infection?)

Hello,

I'm having many weird popups and I hope it's possible to fix the problem. I tried downloading Adaware twice but it wouldn't install on my computer. I successfully ran Spybot S&D which removed many things but the ads are still popping up. Here is my Hijack log:

I tried removing the 09 items but they came back... In my browser history I see items for xadso.offeroptimizer and xadsq.offeroptimizer. Sometimes the windows just pop up and then automatically close. Any help is most appreciated!

 

OK, I've read a few posts and tried to fix some things but I'm still getting the popups. I've tried "Adaware" but when I double-click on the file to install it, I get an "Install Shield" window that quickly disappears and nothing happens.

I was able to run Spybot S&D but it didn't get rid of the offeroptimizer popups. I downloaded a new virus scanner (AVG) that found a few bugs.

In Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, there is a listing for Web Savings from Ebates that I cannot remove. When I try to remove it I get a message saying:

WJView Error

ERROR: Could not execute Main: The system cannot find the file specified

I have found and already deleted something like C:\Prorgam Files\Websavings\ but it didn't seem to help.

My most recent Hijack log is as follows:

I'm not quite sure hoe to get rid of this stupid Websavings thing. Any help is appreciated.

 

Hello,

I could be wrong but I think you need to be online in order to remove Web Rebates.

Run Hijackthis again with all browsers closed and check these items and then on Fix:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42} - C:\WINDOWS\TWAINTEC.DLL

Reboot and post a new HJT log. Let me know how the uninstall goes.

 

Well I fixed that DLL you suggested and it seems to have worked. No pop-ups yet and IE is still working.

I tried to uninstall Web Savings from Ebates while connected but it still gave me the same error and remains in the list of programs. I guess as long as I'm not getting pop-ups then it doesn't really matter.

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi,

Great to hear. I do see one more that I missed in HJT. Run it again and if you see this one, have HJT fix:

O13 - WWW. Prefix: http://

Reboot.

You might want to post one last log for review just to make sure I got everything.
