    Re:Help!!!

    Hi Mua-Kell,

    Welcome at Wilders. :)

    Could you post your HijackThis log
    Download, Unzip and run HijackThis, Then click Scan > Save log, save the log as a .txt file and copy & paste its content into your next post.
    Don´t fix anything yet. Most of what it finds is harmless.
    I´ll try and help you get rid of the spies.
    You´ll get your first karma cookie from me, when you´re done with that. ;)

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Re:Help!!!

    Hey Pieter! Sorry Im taking so long but another issue is my web page display bogs down then stops.I must reboot to clear the prob,but eventually it returns.Trojan hunter also discovered 4 poss tojans +2 double exe.Wil l attempt download of hijack further.Also cleaner discovered conduc-flex while attempting to unzip the first time.Could not find the file in PK-Zip(Ihave lots of zipped files),nothing with the spywareinfo url.Ill keep trying later but must log off for now before web browser clogs up again.(56k dial-up internal)THANKX

    No hurry Mua-Kell,

    It´s a long shot, but maybe worth a try, if you can get rid of some trojans at www.trojanscan.com

    Regards,

    Pieter

    HI,

    If you mean that you checkmarked and fixed ALL items that came up in the scan then that WOULD be a problem.

    If this is the case, I would close out of all applications and then relaunch hijackthis and instead of doing a scan go to

    Config -> Backups

    You will see in the main window any items that were 'fixed' in the last session. I would restore all of them, reboot, relaunch hijackthis and scan but do not fix anything at this point, just save the log to txt file and copy and paste here.

    HTH,

    Dan

    hmmm, once you have the log in the text file and you do the select all and copy, start you reply here and once the cursor is on the "Message" window press Ctrl+V. This should paste the entire log here.

    Hi Mua-Kell

    Did you also uninstall Live Reg and Live Update? (unless your firewall is NIS/NPF in which case you will still need them)

    Regards,

    Thanks Pieter

    If Live Update was not uninstalled, that is likely what Kerio is alerting to.

    Whew! Could not find C:\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\QABAR.DLL,But I did find adult links icon and deleted it.I suspect my display of pages (refresh rate?) problem has something to do with this dynamic library link,.DLL?

    do you have a modem in your system?

    The ptsnoop.exe is sometimes associated with a modem but it could be malware instead, and I am thinking that one of the autolaunched applications is what keeps throwing the entries back in after you delete them.
