    Hello computer savvy folks..I am running on windows xp and i am having the same problem as the MANY MANY people on these forums...my homepage is res://#####.dll/index.html#37049 and ive been getting the "only the best" popups...i dont know if this is a related problem or my IE is not working, but everytime i directly search on the addy/search bar for something, it leads me to "search-to-find.com" where my search yields no results and leads me to UNrelated ones so i have to go to google to search instead...anyway, under add/remove program, i have the following programs, "search extender" and "shopping wizard" which cant be deleted because of "unable to open http://looking-for.cc/uninstall/program" so i decided to search for solutions...it led me here and many other sites explaining what to do...i did what these other sites have instructed me to do [unless its to delete soemthing i dont think i have...ie winshow, iefeatsl...since i didnt have these files, those directions didnt apply to me,,,or did they?] ive downloaded like 6 spyware programs [adaware, spybot s&d] and none have fixed my problem, but i continued to search through these posts...seeing the LONG hijackthis entries and many OTHER programs to download in addition [about buster, and security task manager], i decided to do that as my last [probably best] resort...i saw "wankel77"'s post on how to fix it and was able to fix it...TEMPORARILY...i was able to get about 6 google homepages to work, THEN i got "only the best" popup again, and then my homepage returned to res://#####.dll/index.html#37049 [with a diff ### name this time]...i dont know if i should delete the "suspicious file" or leave it on quarantine? anyway, i know probably the most important thing for me to give you is my hijackthis logfile [instead of a life story of how i got here] so you can help me so here goes my most recent one...

    being UNcomputer savvy, i need expert help to analyze this and figure out what [and possibly how] to change some of these to solve this annoying problem...oh yeah maybe my security task manager list of programs that maybe suspicious or the culprit might help as well...[atlmv32.exe and ievg.dll are on quarantine as what i found suspicious when i followed wankle's method]...other programs im unfamiliar with are: d3qs.exe, IDLEPROC.DLL, TWO IEXPLORE.EXE??, kbd.exe,ntjb32.dll, and syshr32.exe [i listed this one even though this seems like a normal windows process like hpsysdrv but i can never be sure so i listed it...] OKAY i HOPE my information is detailed enough where i can get detailed help...THANKS SOOOOO MUCH...not just for me, but for helping all the other people with the same problem as me because i know how frustrating these popups can be!

    Theres no point in our looking at Hijack This log files for your problem. This has been addressed countless times in here, so please read those threads. Remove this hijack and it just returns, so Hijack This is useless at this point.

    Should download and run Hijack This, not select run from the download link:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis[1].zip\HijackThis.exe

    Aside from that, again, theres a lot you could remove, try searching these forums or Google as its all redundant.
