I had several spywares/ adwares on my sons comp. Using Ad Aware, Spybot, Norton and Microsoft Beta I removed or so I thought everything from ucmore to the real pain surf sidekick3. Although my sons comp no longer has 10 pop ups per second I cannot get the task manager or reg edit or any right click options to work. I do have a hijack this log which I will include. Can someone help me with this? All is appreciated.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Go and read both these threads by RBS. Follow all the instructions exactly.

How to remove Trojans and its ilk! and How to remove Begin2search / coolwebsearch and other nasties.

Then see. How to post your Hijackthis log-file as an ATTACHMENT.

Only post a fresh HJT log, after doing the above.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

Thank you for the instructions, it is obvious that this is my first post. I have attached both a fresh hijack this log as well as an exido file. I am hoping you might be able to give me some advice as to how to fix my task manager, regedit, cmd and right click options. Thanks for the time and patience.

I can`t see a HJT log attachment.

Regards Howard
