    I ran ad ware 6.0 and it got rid of a lot of malware on my computer. But when I tried to delete all the files, it said it couldn't delete a program called autoupdate. So, I went to my program files and deleted it myself. The problem is, it keeps on reinstalling it back into my computer. And I'm having so many popups appear now. Also, something very odd happenes when I click on a hyper link. The window will pop up a second and then disapear. A few days back it was doing this and I just re clicked the hyperlink and it would be ok. But as of today, it wont even let me click on a hyper link.

    I ran adware 6.0 and HijackThis. Here is my HyjackThis log file. Thanks in advance for the help.

    NOTE....even in safe mode you may have to open taskmanager and end task on some of them before you can delete them.

    Make sure you can view hidden and system files: Instructions here

    Then Boot to safe mode: Instructions here

    Delete the following files\folders IF still present:

    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint <------folder
    C:\documents and settings\adrian\local settings\temp\va5F8Dw.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEHost.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Xej7.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\dp-him.exe
    C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools <---------folder
    C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\pngfilt.exe

    Then reboot and use AdAware as described :
    HERE

    Then use the Disk Cleanup Utility to empty all your Temp folders.

    Then Disable system restore: Instructions here
    Reboot

    Enable System Restore.

    Problems gone?

    Well, you should for sure get rid of "that stuff"!

    Have a look here:

    DownloadWare is a process that runs on Windows startup. If a network connection is available it will connect to its servers, which can direct it to download and install software from advertisers.

    ............

    Cydoor

    Advertising Spyware: CyDoor CD_Load.exe and CD_Clint.dll
