    I followed the instructions on an earlier posting by dvk01 to remove the SecThought.E and here is the info that was requested.

    I ran both the Ad-Aware and the Spybot programs on my computer prior to loading HijackThis. The problem I am having is that Security Advisor windows keep popping up very frequently for me to accept their certificate and load whatever software they are promoting. A few of the companies are Whistle Software Inc, WHENU.com, Gain.com - when I have contacted these companies they say they are not the ones responsible that it is someone else promoting their software and that the popups should end with about 8-10 occurances - but this hasn't stopped.

    I also am getting the following Trojan horses - downloader.Agent.AV, SecThought.E, Downloader.Small.7.Q, Downloader.Small.7.AV, Downloader.VB.3.AD, Downloader.Turnown.J, Downloader.Keenval.K, psw.Briss.D

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Mikka

    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:\PROGRA~1\POWERS~1\Toolbar <-----folder
    C:\Program Files\SEP <-----folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEHost.exe
    C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\ <-----folder

    Then reboot and use AdAware as described :
    HERE

    Empty your Temporary Internet Files and history in Internet Options. And clean out your
    %Userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp
    folder. It's a good idea to do that regularly.

    Then Disable system restore: Instructions here
    Reboot

    Enable System Restore.

    Problem gone?
