Hello all,

I have been unsuccessful in removing the virus/spyware/html desktop that's on my computer which causes a black desktop pattern and a variety of pop-up warnings. Have tried Adaware, spybot, and crwshredder. Have also researched extensively without success. HJT file attached. Step by step would be greatly appreciated!

Go to this post here first, and follow the instructions EXACTLY, especially about UPDATING and HJT-location.
How to remove Begin2Search/Coolwebsearch and Other Nasties

Then see How to post your Hijackthis log-files as an attachment.

I did as you suggested and located several of the files using HijackThis to fix. Ran all the apps suggested in the post. Same problem occurs but now I also had an auto pop-up scanning software called PSGuard which behaved like a spyware checker....I've attached an updated HJT file. Your help is appreciated.

Please follow the next link I give you:

Then run another log with HJT and post it, with the Ewido log.
