    I'm having some serious issues with some type of adaware hidden somewhere. I've run Spybot, Ad Aware Pro, XoftSpy, Microsoft Malware Remove and they all tell me the system is clean. Norton Enterprise tells me there is no infected files. Yet when I'm using IE7 or Firefox, I'm constantly closing new tabs and resizing my window due to some type of pop up. Even if I'm not on any web pages. The first pop up is usually adware.sharewareonline.(url follows).

    Also, when the computer first logs onto the domain (after the services have run) the following error is displayed

    Rundll
    -------------------
    An exception occured while trying to run "C:/windows/system32/(random file name).dll", DllGetVersion

    I've checked the basic MSConfig, Regedit, Services and don't see anything too out of the ordinary. I run HijackThis and get the following report:

    Another thing I just noticed...

    If there is no network connection, the popups stop. I don't get any pop ups saying 'this page can't be displayed'

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please do not post HijackThis logs without having run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support Also no logs should be posted inline. They must be attachments to messages. Also HijackThis must be installed properly.

    However all you may need to do is the below:

    Please download Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to your desktop.
    • Close all windows before continuing.
    • Double-click Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to run it.
    • Put a check next to Run this program as a task.
    • You will receive a message saying Look2Me-Destroyer will close and re-open in approximately 10 seconds. Click OK
    • When Look2Me-Destroyer re-opens, click the Scan for L2M button, your desktop icons will disappear, this is normal.
    • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove L2M button.
    • You will receive a Done Scanning message, click OK.
    • When completed, you will receive this message: Done removing infected files! Look2Me-Destroyer will now shutdown your computer, click OK.
    • Your computer will then shutdown.
    • Turn your computer back on.
    • Please attach the C:\Look2Me-Destroyer.txt file to your next message.
    If Look2Me-Destroyer does not reopen automatically, reboot and try again.

    If you receive a message from your firewall about this program accessing the internet please allow it.

    If you receive a runtime error '339' please download MSWINSCK.OCX from the link below and place it in your C:\Windows\System32 Directory.
