Desperate For Help!

Hi there,

I am new to the forum and have read, printed, and followed all of the instructions to try to get rid of browser hijacker and pop ups from Hell, but have had not one ounce of luck. I spent 2 days performing all of the tasks before posting because I really didn't want to bother anyone, but I beg of you to please let me post my hijack this log and other scan results so that I don't have to end up throwing my computer out the window.

I did everything in the exact order it was requested, plus I have a paid version of webroot spy sweeper, registry mechanic, and no adware on top of using the following below...

Spybot with DSO exploit add on
Symantec scanner
adaware with the vx2 add on
cw shredder
about:buster
Kill 2 me
spyblaster

and some more programs that I have in a folder. I know that some of the problems I'm having are websearch drnsearch.exe and pop ups from loadingwebsite.com and online casino. I also have winlogon.exe has generated errors and will be shut down messages every once in awhile and computer restarts and I went to microsoft and followed their instructions without any success as well. Spyware removers keep telling me that they are removing threats such as drnsearch and look 2 me, ad behavior, etc. but even when I run repeated scans in safe mode, empty quarantine, empty recycle bin, and reboot, their they are once again. They never go away.

So here is my desperate plea. If you think I need to hire someone instead of going about this myself, I could use any advice of how to explain this problem if this explanation is too jibber jabberish. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much,

Lexi

You must be reading an old copy of the READ ME FIRST because Spybot with DSO exploit add on has not been in it since 4-15-2005. Please get the proper version of Spybot.

Follow the steps below, make sure you install HijackThis as requested.

- 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).
