    Yesterday, I managed to inherit a trojan by the name of FakeAlert-B My antivirus scans files as they are used, so it deleted the trojans on access. I've gone through the procedures to get rid of it, and I do believe the trojan is gone. HOWEVER, since I got it, I've had an Adware problem (I think it's also MalWare... I've never really heard that term used until I found this site though.) Basically what it's doing is frequently sending me popups and taskbar messages telling me I have spyware etc... It also sets my homepage to blank and bounces it to a site by the name of www.securityuptodate.com I've run the routine checks many times, and done all I can trust myself with to remove this, and have cleared the worst of it, but I still can't get rid of the homepage hijacker, or the adware... here's the hijackthis log and bdscan log. Take note I did bdscan out of safe mode this time to save time. If you need me to do it again in safemode, let me know. help ASAP will be much appreciated.

    uh. For some reason, it won't let me upload of bdscan log. do take note that the one I was trying to send is from when I did it in safe mode last night. I'll try sending this log as soon as I have finished the scan. meantime, here's the hijackthis log

    Score! the popups are gone, and I can set my homepage again! Thanks for the tip! I don't know if you still need it, but here's the log all the same... Thanks for the help, and sorry if I came out as a bit unpatient; I'm used to forums where you have to frequently have to bump your post frequently to get an answer! Anyway, thanks again!
