    I've been having difficulty removing VX2.Look2Me and have not found any responses that appear related to the .dll files and other odd items I am seeing in my log.

    I get the Winfixer webpage pop-up and one other travel site pop-up frequently when opening IE.

    I ran CWShredder, SpyBot, AdAware, SpySweeper and found lots of little things, but only CWShredder finds VX2.Look2Me. I recall Symantec Anti-Virus picking it up and quarantining it a few weeks back, but obviously it did no remove it.

    I also downloaded l2mfix and have attached the log.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry about the delay but it has been very busy here lately and this is the weekend which complicates things too. Don't forget this is a volunteer help forum. We are here quite a bit but cannot be here all the time. And right now some of our helpers are not around (hurricane Katrina problems and other issues).

    You could have a Virtumundo problem hiding there.

    Please run the steps below.

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

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem, boot into normal mode and make sure you follow these directions:


    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
