Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Cookies are not really malware and tey are not of any major concern. You will always have cookies anytime you surf. And HijackThis is not a malware detection scanner and also does not show cookies. HijackThis is also not the first step in trying to rid a PC of malware. But you are wrong! Your HJT log does show a problem. SpywareBot is a rogue tool trying to capitalize on the name of Spybot Search & Destroy. It should be uninstalled.

If you are having problems with malware, please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

• Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
• Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
• Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

• After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
