spyware problems (well...is it ever not a problem...)

Hi,
After my brother went on my computer it's become a target for adware all over the shop (it's always the way...like someone driving your car and changing the seat and everything).

Anyhoo, I first noticed i had EliteBar, which i managed to get rid of (cross fingers) but I'm still getting alot of pop-ups. I seem to have most problems with VBouncer, Se.exe and SED.exe which seem to have gone for the moment.

I've been through the tutorial and it has got better but its still there and i'm worried to leave my computer left connected to the internet incase something downloads itself when i'm not there.

I've attached my HijackThis v1.99 log which was run in normal boot mode with everything closed.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I noticed from your Hijack log that you have Norton Anti-Virus installed. Update the definitions and do a full system scan. I'm pretty sure that will take car of the EliteBar.

PestPatrol should take car of Vbouncer, SED.exe, and Se.exe. (EDIT:Costs money to get, if you don't/can't pay, Ad-Aware and Spybot will probably do the trick)


It's also not a bad idea to download Ad-Aware, as well as Spybot:Search and Destroy and preform a system scan alteast once a week.

And if you're using IE, I suggest using Firefox. It's ALOT more safer and I find it to be more convenient.

Hope this helped

This is a better thread to use for reference. QuinnDrew has Windows 98 and that makes the removal process a bit different:

what else can I do for this?

Once you have removed all other Malware, let me know and we can begin the process to address the VX2 Variant.
