    I have just completed the step in "Read and Run Me First" of downloading and running ComboFix. At the completion of the log file, it says that I am to attach the log and submit. So here it is. Hope that I did this correctly. Thank you so much.

    P.S. I just opened Task Manager and lol is still running. That is why I posted the first time to find out how to get rid of it.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    ComboFix is only one small piece of the READ & RUN ME. You need to attach all of the logs. We will not just look at a ComboFix log as we need all of the logs.

    Also why are you running the READ & RUN ME? What malware problems were you having? And ComboFix may not have worked properly and may have been unable to cleanup after itself because you are running Spybot's Teatimer which the READ & RUN ME explicitly stated you must not use.

    Please forgive me as I am not experienced with posting on a forum. I submitted a request for help on August 21. Here is my request:

    I have the letters "lol" in my Task Manager and it says "running". I have tried multiple spyware removers: SuperAntiSpyware Remover; SpyWare Blaster; Ad-Aware and Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. All to no avail. Anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks

    wildwolf220 responded and said this:
    You need to have a look at the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide. Then you need to start a NEW thread in the Malware Forum and attach the logs of the scans in your post.

    So I spent the next two days going through the Read and Run Me First guide. I guess I got confused yesterday because under Step 2, running ComboFix, had its own set of instructions. I printed them out and on the last page it said "You should post this log as a reply to the topic where you were asked to run combofix. your helper will now analyze this log...

    So I assumed I was supposed to stop and send the log. Sorry. Also, about Skybot, I thought I had turned off that function. So shoud I run ComboFix again after turning off Teatimer? Thank you for your patience.

    Yes but you need to just continue on thru all of the READ & RUN ME and attach the remaining logs that were requested. Those logs are from:
    • SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    • MGtools
    You do not need to run any scans again. Just finish the rest of the READ & RUN ME and attach the above logs.

    Completed the Read and Run Me First

    Sorry it has taken me so long to finish. I hope that I did it correctly this time. After completing Steps 1 and 2, Step 3 asked if I was still having the problem. I went to Control, Alt Delete to open Task Manager and lol is still running. So the problem is still here.

    I hope I attach these files correctly. Have attached:
    SuperAntiSpyware log
    Malware log
    ComboFix text

    Will do another thread for the MGlogs.zip.
    Thanks

    Your process list does not show anything named lol running. It does however show the below:

    C:\Program Files\Desktop Weather Lab Alert\liveonline_3266279.exe

    I assume that liveonline could be what is possibly also causing another process named lol to show up. If you did not install Desktop Weather Lab Alert then just uninstall it. It you did install it then you should have made the association to lol like I did. ;)

    Boy, do I ever feel like a "nut". A good friend of mine was convinced it was a dark horse trojan so that is why I contacted you. Instead lol stands for "liveonline"!!!!

    Of course, I still have the problem with it taking over a minute for Internet Explorer to open up. I was convinced it was a "virus" or "spyware" causing that long delay.

    Thank you so much for your effort and time.

    You're welcome.

    It is just do to what software you are running and the addons that you have allowed to be attached to IE. All toolbars and browser helper objects ( called BHO's ) will have an effect on performance. Also what options and features you allow AVG and ZoneAlarm run will also affect performance.
