Problems with elitemwb32.exe

First you are going to need to disable (or possible uninstall) Ad-watch while fixing this. It can sometimes block the registry changed that you will need to make.

You need to remove the registry entry that loads this at startup. Easily found in a HijackThis log.
You then need to boot into safe mode and delete not only the elitemwb32.exe file but you need to look for other files that begin with elite and end in exe. There can sometimes be as many as ten of them.

You may want to consider working thru our full cleanup procedure given below. (Note: Please do not post a HijackThis log here without it being reuqested and without having first run through the cleanup procedure).

Please follow the steps below:

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

- Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

- Download HijackThis 1.99.1

- Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

- 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.

- Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

- Run HijackThis and save your log file.

- Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
