    Ablout 2-3 days ago I started to see that some "only the best" pop us started to come up every 5-10 min. Thank my homepage is changing constantly, than wired search page and so on.
    What I did already;
    - installed MS Antispyware, it finds some trojan but each time it removes it, seems to me it is created again with a new mane.
    -than I did research and went to get some help from Spybot and AdAware they both find on awerage 10-48 problems and remove them but after 10-15 min if I run them again I have the same problem.
    I tried all my skills to fight with it for the past two days, I give up! I thought I understand it but no -
    **** Any help? Please? I help where I can if someone whent through it and knows the magic cure please respond.**** :cool:

    Stop using MS Antispyware (I would uninstall it as it has problems) or anything else to remove this as you are probably just spreading the infection and making it worse.

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.


    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis log as an attachment to your message (Do not post the log inline). All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    To repeat: Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    After the above you should check out:

    I think it took care of the trojan. It was a complete haos. I tried to follow instructions but each time I think I had more and more problems with it. It seems to me as soon as I removed the bug there was a new one with a new name. What helped me was HijackThis thank you for the hint in a thread with guidelines on what all the code means.

    There is only one more problem that I am having, this one not enoying as the previous one. There are two applications installed that I cannot unistall:
    Control Panel/Add Remove Programs
    Shopping wizard
    Search Extender
    each time I try to uninstall it the message is:
    "Unable to open "http://looking-for.cc/uninstall/ShoppingWizard.html"
    Thank you!
    :cool:
