Apropos Media Browser Modifier

anyone know any more info on this thing? i have hijack this, MS spyware, and spy sweeper, plus an additional pop up blocker, and somehow this got on the computer, and no matter what i do it comes back. i click remove each time, it tells me to reboot the computer etc, and yet nothing apparently gets done because as soon as i reboot and it goes through the registry it finds it again. i have manually deleted as well as used the spyware programs to no avail.

ive searched on google etc and see others are having the same problem but havent seen a result where someone has had the problem solved.

 

i could really use some help with this!

 

Please follow 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 make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

- 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).

 

This is great. After following the instructions to a "T" in the first post, not only did it really do nothing but waste time and downloading files, but it's still there, and on top of that, I get a recurring internet explorer error message that says something unexpected happened and it must close, even when MSIE isnt open or never was open. on top of that it comes back every five seconds!

every single scan produces the same exact results.

 

here is the hijack this log, forgot to attach it

 

what have i not completed? btw the MSIE error was caused by one of the programs you guys had me download. i uninstalled them and no more problems with the error. of course i ran them all while in safe mode first, used them, and they did nothing. well they did, but the problem came back immediatel.y

 

Calm down dude. sorry i missed the two online scanners, im doing that right now. as for the google toolbar, shrug, its worked fine for months with no problems and i use it constantly.

i dont know what specific program because i just uninstalled them all at once. ive been rebooting in safe mode and rebooting for the last hour and a half and doing scans per your instructions and only after i had installed the programs did i get that error. ill probably re-install one by one later. but they are pretty much useless at this point, because they arent doing anything but removing the problem for 10 seconds until it comes back.

 

so what do you think the problem is with the spyware, we still have yet to address that?

 

no the log is completely unedited. im not going to reinstall the same exact programs all over again. they each find the same exact thing - that stupid program in the registry...two instances in the same key, which it deleted and manages to get right back in
