I have read the other threads on this topic, but the solutions did not solve my problem. HJT file (saved as Analyzed.txt) is attached. I'd value assistance in getting rid of this tenacious gremlin.

 

Hi, chaslang. My problem definitely is not just a cookie. It's the same problem described in:

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=142553

I will run through the procedure described in the link you sent and post it. Thanks.

 

chaslang: OK, ready to rock-and-roll. FYI, I am using Kaspersky AVP (best in the land). I have NoAdware 5.0 running in the background. Every so often I also run Spyhunter3 and SpyBot, just to catch the things NoAdware misses. (BTW, you have done a superb job of making these instructions logical and easy to follow. Bravo.)

I checked through the list of things to Remove, and I did not have any of them loaded.

As per instructions, I removed Java 6 Update 5 and installed Java 6 Update 6.

The System Configuration Utility is set to 'Normal Startup'.

Kaspersky has no items in quarantine. It does tell me that 12 running items have been 'disinfected', which I assume means I assigned them to a Safe Zone once upon a time.

Recycle Bin emptied.

CCleaner Slim has been run.

Changes to Hidden Files, etc. options have been made.

I ran all of the anti-spyware programs as per instructions.

And.... my problem seems to be resolved! (If I learn later it's still there, I'll post again.) Thank you. Please tell me how I can send you a more tangible form of 'Thanks'.

P.S. I recommend that when running CF.exe (combofix.exe), Kaspersky be set to 'Pause Protection' by right-clicking on the icon and choosing 'Pause Protection'. There is one item in the execute process that cannot be set to a 'Trusted Application' by Kaspersky; it's the one that generates a .txt file so that original settings (such as time format) can be re-established. By pausing Kaspersky, no problems.

 

Two questions based on your comments:

(1) Please recommend a good program(s) to use to intercept spyware.

(2) Please tell me how I can compensate you.
