Having troubles with a Toolbar.

Well my wife decided to download Yahoo messenger today, and WTF! i have annoying pop ups and this really annoying tool bar at the bottom of my page, it looks like its related to msn. everything was goin well, with this new SP2 update. Ive ran Spy bot S/D, and Spyware, and they didnt remove it. ive tried looking for it in the Add/remove prog window, but no luck.

any suggestions?

Im attaching a picture of it.

the links above should get you done
if still more problematic
ask if you need something.

 

Yeah i had already run the tutorial, i always do it before posting up.

anyways, im not to good at finding bad things on the HJT log, and you said that if needed any more help, to post up so.

 

first you need to sop ant program that you don't need running
(tray items, background programs and IE, etc)
and run HJT again
there are a few possible virus.. .

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DwlClient] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dell\EUSW\Support.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [OnlineDentRealCast] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\softdefyonlinedent\MOVEDUPE.exe


toolbar
O3 - Toolbar: AIM Search - {40D41A8B-D79B-43d7-99A7-9EE0F344C385} -
C:\Program Files\AIM Toolbar\AIMBar.dll

O8 - Extra context menu item: &AIM Search - res://C:\Program Files\AIM
Toolbar\AIMBar.dll/aimsearch.htm

this probably should be fixed

okay, all windows and programs that i dont need running closed.

 

can you not close IE to run HJT?

 

Ie was closed? nothing was open, except for the HJT window.

 

this is what you have running

all of it is not needed





in fact if you reboot in safe mode
and ran your scans
it may prove to be more effective

 

Hi Phatdoughnut & Jarcher,

I meant to link this for you guys yesterday and forgot. Sorry - Hope it helps

M.A. - If you've got this here at MGs, I apologize for the foreign link. It seems like a good tool, but I doubt the guys at SM would want to share with a "competitor." Or. . . Maybe they would?

Best,

PP

 

Wow that is an awesome link! im gona give that a shot

jarcher- i did run those programs in safe mode, and it didnt get rid of it.

I did get rid of the first 4 things you posted up, and that got rid of the toolbar, but i will go back and get the rest of the things you posted. and also run omegakiller.

THANKS!

 

NO NO NO!!! Do not misinterpret this - All of that IS needed - DO NOT TRY TO FIX THOSE ITEMS!!!!

 

i didnt say to fix them

some of them should be stopped before running HJT

like IE any thing in the tray. . etc

anyway your log looks clean

 

bwuahaha, yeah i stopped one that i wasnt suppose to, and it restarted my computer. i stoped there. haha, thanks though. that omega killer didnt find anything, which is good. :thumbsup:

 

I knew that. You knew that. Neither of us know if phatdoughnut knew that.
Be careful with your phrasing.

Agreed! - But you should say which ones, or at least give a general idea.

That said, I probably did panic a little, huh?

Hey phatdoughnut - let me know how SM's tool works for further reference. I'll check back tomorrow.

Thanks,
PP
