Elitebar and searchmiracle.com

Okay, I have read and done the Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
instructions several times but each time that I boot I have problems again...tons of popups seeming to come from searchmiracle.com. I am sure there is something, somewhere that I am missing but I sure can't find it.

Please help. I am at the end of my rope.

System Info:

Windows XP - SP2
Home Edition Version 2002
Dell Inspiron I51000
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
512 RAM
40 gig hard drive

I have cleaned the hijack this log several times after posting it to the "hijack this analyzer" that you was listed in one of your posts but still they come back.

Does my frustration come through? Thank you.

 

I have finally gotten rid of all my issues. I bought Norton Antivirus 2005, uninstalled McAfee, and just kept deleting any questionable files as reported by hijackthis.de unless I could find on Google what those files were for. It finally paid off and nothing has come back.

 

Well, I hope you can help me also..I have tried everything to get ride of this parasite but no luck I have followed the guidance given by other posts on this subject. I am seriiously contemplating a new install....but that seems like a really bad attitude to give in to these idiots who do this sort of thing. Can you help me plz.. here is my HJT logfile

Thanks

 

Just for future reference for someone. I followed the "before you post" spyware instructions on this site several times before I did the following to be sure I had everything possible removed.

Somewhere in the posts I found a link to a hijackthis log analyzer that really, really helped when I had done everything else.

I have bookmarked it and used it to help several other folks. If and this is a big if, you are very, very comfortable in removing items using HJT and deleting the files it identifies in safe mode or in doing it via remove programs then this analyzer can be very helpful. I also then cleaned everything up via HSRemove. Like I said in my earlier post...Anything that this analyzer put a ? beside and I didn't know immediately (like special Dell software), I searched Google to see if I could find anything. If I found bad news or nothing at all, I deleted it. I found that most files that really belonged in Microsoft directories were documented. This is not 100% and you can get in trouble but it is what I did.

I am sure someone will tell me I did something wrong but it worked for me.
