    XP Home, SP1

    Getting pretty frequent pop-ups. Followed the Sticky.

    Spybot, MS and Adaware found a few things, but removed them. AVG finds nothing.

    BitDefender found a hanfull of things. Log is attached, along with HJT log.

    Panda scan wouldn't work.


    Thanks in advance,

    Download LSP-Fix

    After download is complete, Run LSP-Fix

    Check the Box labeled "I know what I'm doing" and then click on the bmnet.dll file (in the “Keep” section) to select it.

    Then, Select the >> button to move bmnet.dll into the Remove section.

    Now, click the Finish Button. When the Repair Summary box appears, click OK.

    (Note: If the file bmnet.dll is already in the remove section, then just click FINISH.)

    Next, follow the steps in the below thread on how to install and run Ewido Anti-Malware.

    Did the LSP fix, and ran Ewido.

    Attached the Ewido log and a new HJT log.

    After the Ewido scan, I rebooted and IE stopped working again!



    Thanks,
