hijack this log is gargantuan

Hi,

i'm not asking for help with a specific problem yet as you helped me greatly in the past and i have learned a lot. But i have a Hijack this log that has literally hundreds if not thousands of 02 BHO classes, and it would take me forever to delete them one at a time. They are mostly repeated dll files in the windows and windows/system directory. i have cleaned with adaware, spybot, ewido, cwshredder, etc. Is there a way to do mass deletes in hijack this? Or would you like me to start from scratch. i know the drill.

thanks

Luciano

 

Thanks for your reply.

I have determined that checking each box and clicking fix would be impractical. I have been cleaning this machine all weekend and I am coming to the conclusion that a reformat is in order. I have performed every function you require and recommend in your "before you post" thread. Windows Defender is the noted exception, since it could not be installed until Service Pack 2 was applied and then it couldn't be installed until the blankety-blank Genuine Validation tool was installed and I can't get IE6 or the Windows Update page to come up in the real mode.

I have returned to Safe Mode for one last look and Ewido has come up with almost 40,000 infected objects, most I think from a place in the registry where BHO objects are listed and from the browser cache. I only had 1400 infected objects yesterday.

As always thanks for your help. I think you guys are the best when it comes to spyware infections. You've taught me a lot.

Be well and have a great day. If this last Ewido scan proves helpful I'll give you a shout. Otherwise it's backup and reformat.

thanks,

Luciano

 

Hi,

As usual you are absolutely correct. So, after running all that your request and since I'm still having problems i am attaching the requested log files and asking for your kind help. In the spirit of candor, I will tell you that the only thing i could not complete was the Spybot scan. It would stop at 7500 at would run bot checks forever. It would not complete after hours of trying. Thanks in advance and i look forward to reading your reply.
