    in msconfig i keep finding a cipp.exe file and lkmmnl.exe . i have tried finding them in safe mode and deleting them, along with deleting any reg file that referred to them. I have ran spybot and adaware and neither of them recognize these files. I have searched the interenet and can not find anything about them. In some of the reg files search assistant seams to be tied to them but im not finding searchassistant when i scan. if anyone knows what these files are i would appreciate it. I am attaching my hijacthis file. Thank you for any help.

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

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


    [​IMG] Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    [​IMG] Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    [​IMG] 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 ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    [​IMG]Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    [​IMG]Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    [​IMG] Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).
