    I've had this spyware/malware for a couple weeks now. I've gotten rid of a few things but there are still plenty of things to piss me off.

    Things I have fixed:

    1) homepage set to about:blank
    2) freshbar added to internet explorer
    3) links added to my favorites
    4) several other small things caught by ad-aware or spybot S&D

    Things I have yet to fix:

    1) fake microsoft bubbles coming up in the task bar alerting me of spyware problems and offering solutions.
    2) pop ups including strip-poker and many many spyware removal programs/sites
    3) internet redirect sites going to either porn sites or spyware removal sites
    4) a pop up claiming to be Windows Security Center

    I am running ad-aware, spybot S&D, eTrust PestPatrol Active Protection, Adsgone, SpySubtract, GIANT AntiSpyware, Tau Monitor, Nortons AntiVirus, HJT, and possibly others that I have forgotten. None of the above programs have been able to find anything to fix my problems. Please, I'm begging you, Help Me!

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.


    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis as a .txt file attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    To repeat: 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. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT
