After every Yahoo-email session, then upon closing my MSIE Browser, my system locks up solid for a good minute and a half - the mouse pointer shows busy but I can not launch or start any other processes. After approx 90 seconds it comes to life and seems to function ok. I have spoken to my ISP (SBC/DSL/Yahoo) and their tech tells me my using IE v 6 on Win98SE is a big NO-NO because of "scripting issues" ??? and that I must revert back to IE ver 5.x ~ which I am not about to do. All other online tasks work fine (including OUTLOOK email), I am using SBC/DSL. I keep my system current with latest MS online updates for both Win98 and IE6. Running SpyBot S&D v1.2 reports no threats. But I guess I am suspicious about adware/spyware lurking behind the curtains. Also I have noted other users having problems with KB891711.EXE which I see is active and in my startup list. Please review my HijackThis log and tell me if I am missing something and I welcome your suggestions.

Thanks. ~Ruff_Rider

Do you still need help? If so, repost your log. I think you cut off the bottom half.

Please Download CoolWebShredder, from http://www.geekstogo...=download&id=17 , Extract it & run the program. Click the Next Button & let it scan. Make sure you let it fix all CWS Remnants.

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = file:///C:/Cecil/HomePage/HomePage.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://rd.yahoo.com/.../search/ie.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = file:///C:/Cecil/HomePage/HomePage.html


Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.


The following are not necessarily spyware/malware, but we suggest you place a check mark next to the following entries, as these programs may be taking up system resources.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
(Description: This is the Microsoft MSN Queue Manager. There is disagreement over whether it is spying on you or not. Nevertheless, we suggest you check this entry and remove it. Removing this entry will free up some system resources. more information)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHUPD04] \"C:\Program Files\HP Photosmart 11\hphinstall\UniPatch\hphupd04.exe\"
(Description: HP software update checker and wizard launcher.)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IPInSightMonitor 01] C:\PROGRAM FILES\SBC YAHOO!\CONNECTION MANAGER\IP INSIGHT\IPMon32.exe
(Description: Installed with Verizon DSL accounts. IP Insight is a Quality of Service monitor and diagnostic tool that isn't required - see here for more information )

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look. :tazz:

Thanks for the quick response... One quick question regarding these items to check on so that HijackThis can delete them... Why my HomePage ? I have countless hours invested in it.... do you suspect something amiss down inside of it ???

I downloaded and ran/fix CWS v2.14 - it found no threats. I checked all the items you listed and ran HijackThis to fix them. Then I rebooted. First thing I tried was to access YahooMail and then as I exited my IE browser, the system locked up for 93 seconds, then it awoke and seems to run ok. Then I ran a fresh HijackThis, the latest log is below - (what would you say if I said I am seriously considering installing WindowsXP to replace this Win98SE operating system - any comments ?)

How is it running? The KB file that you referred to in your first post has been designated as safe.

http://bleepingcompu...1.EXE-7773.html

Try running these two programs for me:

Please scan your system with Ad-aware:
Ad-aware SE - Download - Home Page
  • If you have a previous version of Ad-Aware installed, during the installation of the new version you will be prompted to uninstall or keep the older version - be sure to uninstall the previous version.
  • After installing Ad-aware, you will be prompted to update the program and run a full scan. De-select all boxes so that it does not run.
  • Manually run "Ad-Aware SE Personal" and from the main screen Click on "Check for Updates Now".
  • Once the definitions have been updated:
  • Reconfigure Ad-Aware for Full Scan as per the following instructions:
    • Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.
    • Under General Settings the following boxes should all be checked off: (Checked will be indicated by a green circle with a check mark in it, Un-Checked is a red circle with an X in it. If it is greyed out, those features are only available in the retail version.)
      • "Automatically save logfile"
      • Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"
      • Safe Mode (always request confirmation)
      • Prompt to update outdated confirmation) - Change to 7 days.
    • Click the "Scanning" button (On the left side).
    • Under Drives & Folders, select "Scan within Archives"
    • Click "Click here to select Drives + folders" and select your installed hard drives.
    • Under Memory & Registry, select all options.
    • Click the "Advanced" button (On the left hand side).
    • Under "Shell Integration", select "Move deleted files to Recycle Bin".
    • Under "Log-file detail", select all options.
    • Click on the "Defaults" button on the left.
    • Type in the full url of what you want as your default homepage and searchpage e.g. http://www.google.com.
    • Click the "Tweak" button (Again, on the left hand side).
    • Expand "Scanning Engine" by clicking on the "+" (Plus) symbol and select the following:
      • "Unload recognized processes during scanning."
      • "Obtain command line of scanned processes"
      • "Scan registry for all users instead of current user only"
    • Under "Cleaning Engine", select the following:
      • "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion."
      • "During removal, unload explorer and IE if necessary"
      • "Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot."

Thanks for standing by me. Sorry it took me soooo long to comply with your last direction, but I have now downloaded/installed Ad-Aware SE and very carefully configured it as you specified and then making sure there were no other windows apps running, I started the Ad-Aware scan as per instructions - it ran for approx 30 min and in the window, it looked like this:
___________________________________________________________________
Performing System Scan
Current Operation
Performing conditional scans... Objects Scanned 102511
> Busy |||
Summary
26 Running Processes 0 Processes Identified
601 Process Modules 0 Modules Identified

0 Objects Ignored 27 Files Identified
41 New Critical Objects 0 Folders Identified

Now scanning, click "Cancel" to stop
___________________________________________________________________

and it just stayed like that for lonnnnnng time. I left it alone, went in and watched the last NCAA game and came back over an hour later, the screen had not changed. So I cancelled it off. I rebooted, went back thru the setup and configure steps again just to make sure everything was specified correctly, and it was. So I tried the Ad-Aware scan again and again it ran for half hour or so and looped up, never to come back and again I had to cancel out.....

What next?

Alllllright, I downloaded/installed/ran CCleaner v1.18.101 to completion, let it delete a ton of cr*p. Then I rebooted and ran Ad-Aware SE again. And again it ran awhile (15+ minutes) and then it appeared to have stopped, or got into a hard internal loop (the HD light on the PC panel did not blink, indicating no activity on the harddisk). The screen stayed the same I let it alone for another 15 minutes, it never changed. When I cancelled it off the Ad-Aware panel looked like this:

Just for the heck of it, I just now ran SpyBot S&D v 1.3 with latest update and it said: Congratulations ! No immediate threats were found.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ;)

Uninstall adaware and then reinstall it. Make sure all your temp. files are cleaned out. I am trying to cook dinner right now and not doing a very good job, I might add. Five people may kill me soon if I don't get going on that. I will look at your stuff later. I prommise. :tazz:

One time when my adaware froze -- and remember, this isn't a scientific fix or anything and it may have just been dumb luck, but I went to the item it was stuck on and just opened it up. The next time it ran, it went straight through. (I did not delete that item. I just opened it up) ;)
