    I had some adware on my machine recently, and like the moron I am, started messing around with HighJackThis, trying to follow examples from posts with simlar problems. I think I got it, but I'd sleep alittle sounder if somebody could take a look.

    Heres my logfile

    Before you start, please unzip HijackThis to it's own folder somewhere.
    The program will make backups in the folder it's run from.
    These easily get lost in a Temp folder and are an annoyance on the desktop.


    Use Taskmanager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to end these running processes if you can
    (or use Process Explorer)
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkuw.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\mfcej32.exe



    Run HijackThis again, push Scan and place a check mark next to the following items using your mouse.
    Next, close all browser Windows, and push the 'Fix checked' button in HijackThis

    -----------
    Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
    After installing AAW, and before running the program, you NEED to FIRST update the reference file following these instructions.
    Now do the following:
    - Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
    check: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."
    - Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
    Check: "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

    Press "Scan Now"
    - Check option "Use Custom scanning options"
    - Check option "Activate In-Depth Scan"
    - Press "Select drives\folders to scan"
    - Select the active partition which is usually C:

    Now press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
    It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys.
    Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"

    Now press "Next" again.
    It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.

    Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.
    ------------

    Delete these files if adaware didn't
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkuw.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\mfcej32.exe

    I do not understand this one

    That should be a local address (IANA black hole) -- are you on a local network with a terminal services server ?

    I dont know if this is related or not, but everytime I open Internet Explorer, or anything that connects to the internet, It wants me to install "Microsoft Office XP Professional with Frontpage", and asks me to insert the CD. Why does this happen, and how do I get rid of it?
