    Hello, i recently went through all the processes as stated in the start of this forum about scanning for spyware. I have ran hijackthis and did find some issues that need to be adressed, If possible could someone review my HJT log and tell me if there might have been something i missed.

    Thx

    You have not installed HijackThis properly per the directions in step 7 of the READ & RUN ME. Please follow those steps. And then continue with the below.

    Look in Add/Remove programs for the below and uninstall if found:
    Time or Time Sync
    Daily Weather Forecast

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
    C:\Program Files\Time Sync\time.exe
    C:\Program Files\Daily Weather Forecast\weather.exe

    After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
    Then please click "Scan" and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {1B68470C-2DEF-493B-8A4A-8E2D81BE4EA5} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Daily Weather Forecast] C:\Program Files\Daily Weather Forecast\weather.exe
    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.coolwebsearch.com
    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.searchmeup.com

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\Program Files\Daily Weather Forecast <--- the whole folder
    C:\Program Files\Time Sync <--- the whole folder

    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

    Are you sure you fixed these:

    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.coolwebsearch.com
    O15 - Trusted Zone: *.searchmeup.com

    If you did and they come back, follow the below.

    Please download DelDomains and unzip it to your desktop.

    Find the files from deldomains.zip on your Desktop and RightClick on the deldomains.inf file and select Install.

    (Please note if you have Spybot S&D installed you will need to "Immunize" again because deldomains will remove all of the sites Spybot adds.)

    Are those O15 lines are gone?

    did exactly what you said to do but the files still keep showing up in HJT, also my computer is very slow to boot up and freezes up often when connected to the internet. When i diconnect my modem from the puter it boots up very fast the way it should, hope this helps. here is another updated log.

    Did you run CWShredder from the READ & RUN ME?

    Even if you did, disconnect from the Internet (unplug) and run it again. Let me know if anything is found.

    Did you install, update, run a scan with, and use Spybot's Immunize feature? If not, you must do that. Enable the SDhelper but do not use Teatimer.


    Also download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.
    • Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster
    • Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.
    • Click the X to exit the program
