    hello guys.im glad to be a part of your forum.maybe you can help me.
    last week i got a popup in pal-talk { a public chat place} and when i hit the X to close it,,,all hell broke loose,,,,,,.ive been online for 5 years or so ,never had any virus protection programs or anything,,,,. never had any probs till now,,,pretty lucky huh?. after doing several google searches on my troubles ive learned alot about them except hot fix all of them,ive gotten rid of most but a few remain.
    ive ran the following programs,,,
    panda scan
    adware se
    spysweeper
    avg
    spybot v1.3

    they have fixed many of them but not all
    begin2search is one i cant get rid of along with porno popups and popups telling me i need to buy programs to fix my problems,,{go figure,,}
    also when i open my browser it floods my local settings,temp and temp internet folders with tons of cookies.
    i got hijack and ran a scan,and not knowing exactly what to get rid of i can see alot in there that shouldnt be there as in there are several tool bar lines in there



    i have a hijack log with nothing runnin only the desktop.

    let me know if you can help.all my freinds tell me to format... but i refuse to quit fighting,,, hehe..i havent formated in 4 years and it kills them,,, i dont do alot of surfing just gameing.


    machine specs are as follows

    xp pro
    p4 3.06
    gig of matched ram
    fx5600 256 meg card
    p4g8x deluxe board


    thanks

    hmm yea formatting wouldnt b a bad choice to go with. but if you dont want to do that then i really recomend the program avast. do a scan with it if u cant delete something u can do a boot scan. ive gotten rid of a lot of problems with it.

    All your friends are telling you to format because thats a cop out for someone who cant fix the problem and an easy solution if you have nothing worthwhile on your drive.

    Most problems can be solved by following this tutorial:
