    Hello.

    First off, I have a Win2K machine hooked into a small network. I have been getting pop-up ads out the wazoo. And now, after many efforts with many differn't tools, most of which I read about hear, my IE Browser gives me a must shut down dialog box everytime I log on. I have long run Adaware SE, among other Anti-Virus software (Norton Corporate).

    I have carefully followed the How to post, rebooted in Safe Mode with Networking Support b4 running:

    1) Stinger
    2) CC Cleaner
    3) Ad-Aware SE
    4) VX2 plug-in
    5) Spybot S & D

    They all found and removed various spyware and traces, yet the pop-ups continue, as does the browser malfunction.

    I have a Hijack This log to post, and await permission to do so.

    Please Help!

    Thanks

    Eric

    10-4.

    Just ran CWShredder. It removed the following:

    CWS.Msinfo
    CWS.Tapicfg
    CWS.hiddenDll

    On to Kill2me!

    Thanks!

    OK,
    HS Remove found nothing,
    Kill2me found the Look2me infection (if it was present?),
    and Aboutblaster found nothing

    Rebooted after all this and ran a new HJT log, which is attached.

    Can you point out what is left, and what do I do?

    Thanks!

    Kodo,

    Did it all, no problems except that I cannot find file trls.exe

    My browser no longer pops up a dialog box warning it has an error and will close. You did it!

    Here is a new log, is there anything else?

    Thanks for all your help, this has driven me crazy! What was it, if you don't mind my asking? And will Spybot keep it from coming back?

    Thanks a million!

    Eric
