Hello from Spain...

Well I`ve read lot of posts about problems with a Horseserver Infection and I think I`m going slightly mad... ;)

I'm sure that is a Horseserver infection because sometimes when i'm surfin' the net it opens a page of "SearchEngine" and the title says "Horseserver" so... ;)
it's quite annoying

I read the posts of Mort and Don about the same problem so I tried to solve it, but now I don't know what to do. The only thing I did is to download HSFix, CleanUp! and HijackThis, so here's the last log file from HijackThis:

And that's all, I recognize a lot of inoffensive files, but I don't know what to do.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much.

Hello! ;)

Well, I´ve just solved the problem, thank you for your reply (I really thought that nobody would answer me ;) )...

I executed HijackThis and CleanUp, but the problem was still driving me crazy,
the next step was to execute Lavasoft AdAware 6.0 removing some archives and putting others into Quarantine... and that was the solution: after this there were no problems left. :)

The Horseserver Search Engine didn´t appear anymore. :)

Thank for all, I could read loads of posts and resolve my problem by myself. :tazz:
