Removing CiD Advertisements

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi, about 6 months ago, i had been pestered with CiD advertisements, but after continually blocking them out one by one, i managed to stop them from appearing on my computer, but after installing Firefox 3 (i'm not sure about this, it could be another program, but it started happening around the time of the installation) the CiD popups came back.

I searched the previous threads and haven't tried them because some of them didn't look like the same situation as mine, i'm sorry to bother you, but i'm a computer noob and i'm scared if i try those fixes, my computer might crash.

I have inserted my hijackthis log with this post

Thank you very much.
 
You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

Open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key.

Click on the processes tab and end process for(if there).

seekmo.exe
this 16.exe
Messenger.exe
Lovebike.exe

Close task manager.


Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

seekmo

Close control panel.

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad). Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).
