    I have a hijackthis file that hopefully someone can look at, I am running win 2000, fully updated and get random popups, that don't always popup when I am loading a web page, if someone can give me some hints I would greatly appreciate it, I have run norton, adaware, spysweeper. Nothing has found it

    Hi Blaz0033,

    Generally, it is a good idea to follow the steps in this Cleanup Tutorial first:
    http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407

    If you still have problems, then send us a HijackThis Log.

    Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.98.2) and extracted to its own safe folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis

    If you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis 1.98.2

    Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

    Please save your HJT Log as a .txt file and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

    Best :)

    Hi Blaz0033,

    Please keep everything in the same thread. Cuts down on confusion. I'll take a look at your log when I get a chance and post back then.

    Thanks Chas :)

    Blaz0033,
    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for Web Offer and remove it.

    Please print this out so that you can operate with all browser windows CLOSED and then run HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    If you are not using a proxy server or these are not familiar, then check their boxes-
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 24.34.242.8:8000
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 24.34.242.8


    These are BAD, so Check their Boxes -

    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {418E6705-EE63-219E-D205-12550AF07C1F} - C:\WINNT\system32\ozobbo.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Yssiggdb] C:\WINNT\system32\??rss.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [eZWO] C:\PROGRA~1\Web Offer\wo.exe


    If you do not know what this is, then Check its Box -
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Aitc] C:\Documents and Settings\Mark .FARSIDE\Application Data\sara.exe

    Your 016 entries look tame, so we'll leave them alone for now.

    Make sure ALL browser windows are CLOSED when you click FIX.

    Now, reboot into Safe Mode with the viewing of hidden files Enabled and DELETE the following:
    C:\WINNT\system32\??rss.exe
    C:\PROGRA~1\Web Offer

    Again, if you don't know what this is, then DELETE it - - -> C:\Documents and Settings\Mark .FARSIDE\Application Data\sara.exe

    Reboot to Normal Windows, attach a fresh HJT Log and tell us how things are working. Let us know if you recognize the questionable items. I'll check back when I get a chance - I'm usually here in the wee hours ;)

    Best,
    PP
