Can anyone help... Im unsure if this is software problem or spyware or virus !! so I have posted it here so please forgive me if im in the wrong section !

Just been to help a friend out who is experienceing problems accessing https secure web sites for online banking etc. with ie6 running Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A) , I have installed opera browser and firefox for him as i thought it was just a browser prob but I cannot gain access to the net at all with any of these browsers, my thought then was turned to spyware or application hijack but I have ran adaware and spybot in safe mode and it has found and successfully deleted entries but i am still unabe to gain access, I have ran hijack this and have found a couple of entries I am unsure of - please note this is not the full log just entries I cannot account for

**check** R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
**check** R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
**check** O2 - BHO: myBar BHO - {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAY\MYBAR\1.BIN\MYBAR.DLL
**check** O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FFFFDA2C-A0D5-4D60-8EE1-1B7F8929E24D} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\LYCOS\SST.DLL
**check** O3 - Toolbar: &SearchBar - {0494D0D9-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAY\MYBAR\1.BIN\MYBAR.DLL
??check?? O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [internat.exe] internat.exe

also he has norton security running but it will not start or update for some unnkown reason and was thinking could this be related to spyware or is it worth running stinger on the system to check for viruses causing the prob ???

Sorry if this message sounds confusing !! tia for any help or advice

Mkae sure the Internet Explorer is set to use SSL2.0 & SSL3.0. Run IE, click Tools, select Internet Options, then Advanced. Scoll down to the Security heading and then look for those two options:
- Use SSL 2.0
- Use SSL 3.0

make sure they are enable.

It sounds like you should complete the rest of the steps in the READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal sticky thread and then if still having a problem, follow the steps below and post a HijackThis log.

Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

Now post a HijackThis log as an attachment to your message (Do not post the log inline). All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

To repeat: 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. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

From the small part of your HJT log shown, just the below two items are problems:
O2 - BHO: myBar BHO - {0494D0D1-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAY\MYBAR\1.BIN\MYBAR.DLL
O3 - Toolbar: &SearchBar - {0494D0D9-F8E0-41ad-92A3-14154ECE70AC} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAY\MYBAR\1.BIN\MYBAR.DLL

Look for MyWay or MySearch or MySearchBar or similar in Add/Remove programs and uninstall it.
