    I'm new to your site. I've had an unusual amount of trouble with agressive popups over the past few weeks. I use both Spybot and Adaware, but they haven't provided much relief as of late. Below is my Hijackthis log. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

    Reboot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406
    then as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
    Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
    Click "Apply" then "OK"

    Delete these files
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\idctup20.exe

    then
    Reboot normally &

    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 01R303 08.05.2004 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

    Re: Hijackthis log after cleaning - for 2nd review

    Hi DJsams

    I've merged your reply into your original thread. Please always reply to ther same thread not make new ones so we can keep up with what has been done already


    This looks like it's possible a keylogger
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Tray] C:\Data\Downloads\ttax2002\turbo tax key code.exe

    It's probably ispynow from http://www.exploreanywhere.com/isn-intro.php

    have you installed it yourself or someonelse who uses your computer to monitor something or someone?

    let us know and if it wasn't deliberately installed we can possibly advise how to remove it

    Derek,

    I don't recall if I installed TurboTax 2002 on this computer last year, but it's possible. It is no longer installed, so I doubt I need this key code entry. (I ended up using TaxCut instead.) Do you think it's causing any harm?

    Thanks,

    Dan
