    Hi and HELP!
    I am usually pretty good at getting rid of the spyware... Not this time. I've run cwshredder, adaware, and spybot search & destroy... Still getting the 'about:blank' for my IE and many many unnecessary pop-ups. I've run Hijack This and have a log of my registry. Can you please review it and provide me with some assistance?

    Thanks bunches

    HJT is not the first step and we have guidelines about when and how to post logs. Please follow our guidelines.

    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.

    You have the Only the Best aka HSA hijack. Make sure you do the stuff in related to it (like About:Buster and HSremove) If necessary, see my Generic Solution thread:
    When all else fails - Generic Solution to HSA (Only the Best) & About:Blank hijack

    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

    Hi Chaslang,

    Sorry for the delay in reply, got a little busy with the holidays. I'll get you a copy of the log this evening. However, since running the tools you recommended, I have not had any problems.

    Okay! It is always better to make the final check.
