annoying internet explorer plugin

ok i will get to doing all that, what does this windir32. exe thing do?

I think i will struggle to do all those things, isnt there an easier way such as using some anti virus scan?

For more info on the windir32.exe file see HERE.

This is starting to get a little tedious.

I asked you in post #2 to post a HJT log after following some instructions. I eventually got a HJT log in post #10

If you`d just done what I asked, we`d have had this problem sorted out already.

Now stop asking questions and follow the damn instuctions.

Regards Howard

Good god man. If you don`t want to follow the instructions, just format your hard drive. That`ll cretainly get rid of your virus problems.

Regards Howard

yer but im not sure about some of the things you wrote, thus im sayin is there an easier scan to do. if not I will have another go at what you wrote.

Ok, which bit of my instructions don`t you understand?

Regards Howard

ok done can you have a loook now howard

ok thanks a lot howard, oo btw going off the topic a bit, you know in internet explorer, say if i go into google, and im about to the something starting with like s i get a list of stuff which i have searched for which start off with the letter s. How the hell do i get rid of it its really annoying.

Run IE and click tools/internet options. Click delete cookies/ok, also click delete files, tick the box that says delete all offline content/ok. Click clear history/yes.

Regards Howard

mate ive done that before and yet when i go onto google and im about to start something with the letter s or whatever it still comes up with those stupid things from the searches ive done before. can you help please

new scan for you howard

Do use any other browser besides IE?

Anyway, it`s far more important that you follow the instructions and get rid of the worm you have on your system.


Regards Howard

Edit: I`ve just seen your Ewido log. You need to follow the instructions in post #30.

yer i use aol and internet explorer so is there some problem?>, whats my Ewido log like?, k i will do the rest now

aol in itself is a trojan and difficult to remove. I would switch to another ISP. AOL is known for its crooked practices from poor customer service, to preying on newbies, to refusing to cancell accounts, to puting trojan horses bundled in their software. It's well documented in news articles.

Look, just follow the instructions I gave you.

If you can`t or don`t want to do this, that`s fine.

Your only alternative is to reformat and reinstall from scratch.

I don`t particularly care. all I know is this is getting very tedious.

The rest is up to you.

Regards Howard

yer im going to post a fresh hjt log soon. now what do i do about the whole search thing

I would like to nominate this for the Best Thread of the Year award.

Very funny mate lol.
