Spyware...help please.

I finally got spywared to the point I can't get out on my own. A little help would be appreciated.

HJT log attached:

Microsoft Anti-spyware

Have u tried microsoft anti-spyware?, its a free BETA download from the microsoft site and works quite well.

A good free anti spyware program is Ad-Aware
what ad aware leaves behind Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 will get.

be sure to update them first, if you download them.

Thanks for the replys;

Lunatic - Ad-Aware SE finds and deletes it but it returns the next time I logon. I will try Spybot.

andygibbs - Didn't know MS had gotten into the anti-spyware game, another one to try.

Will try the two programs and post the results.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Go HERE and follow the instructions very carefully, they will help you.

Probably a good idea to print them out.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

You don't have any (visible) spyware AFAIK.
But to be sure, do as Howard said and go to my post here first, and follow the instructions EXACTLY.

When done, reboot in Safe Mode.
Run Hijackthis ON ITS OWN and let it 'fix':

Update

First off let me thank everyone for the help. I think it's finally resolved.

I don't think any one of the solutions resolved the problem singularly, but the combination suggested seems to have done the trick.

Again, I thank everyone for their help.
