Xlime Offer Optimizer Problem

I am having the similar problems that so many others are reporting, although mine seems to be with a program called "Xlime Offer Optimizer". I ran both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D as instructed, then downloaded and ran HijackThis, which produced the log below. Thank you in advance for any help you have to offer!

Here is my log:

Hi nrohan,

Before you start, please unzip hijackthis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder in the folder it's in.
These easily get lost in a Temp folder.

Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:

Dear Pieter

I am most grateful. By following your instructions, the problem has vanished. Again, many thanks.

Xlime Offer Optimizer Problem (Again!)

Dear Pieter,

Sorry to have to bother you again. I unplugged my office laptop which is ordinarily plugged into a fairly sophisticated firewall and took it with me on vacation, plugging it into the hotel broadband service. Now I am getting those same annoying pop-ups as before. I ran Spybot S&D as before then downloaded and ran HijackThis, which produced the log below. Thank you in advance for any help you have to offer! I can pledge that this will be the last such incident, as all my computers will have Spybot and AdAware installed.

Here is my log:

Pieter,

That did the trick. I appreciate the service you and others working with Wilders Security Forum provide. It is invaluable. Many thanks.
