    Dear everyone,

    How are you people doing? Better than me, I hope. Can someone help me, please? My computer is affected by numerous spywares, viruses and a host of other malicious software. Hope all you people familiar with Hijack This will take a look at my Hijack This logfile (attached) and advise me what to do. Thanks in advance.

    Right now, one of my biggest problems is an error message - which I suspect is spyware and malicious - that keeps popping up about every half a minute. As I was typing in this dialog box, it still keeps popping up bur disappears after a few seconds without any action from me. Here is the error message in its entirety:

    I have run Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Spybot Search & Destroy, avast anti-virus software, etc. but nothing seems to stop it.

    I am hoping that Hijack This will reveal what spyware is affecting my computer system. Hope all you experienced users out there will help identity what are the spyware bugs in my system and advise me which to remove.

    I am very new to Hijak This, so besides telline me which entries to remove, please also advise how I should go about doing it.


    Thanks a bunch.
