I dont have clickme icon on my desktop

thanks and regds

[g2i2r4]

This log looks clean.

Scan again using AdAware SE and Spybot S&D. Remove any item shown in red.

How are things now?

[josher]

HAVE RUN NOADWARE AND SPYBOT AS YOU SUGGEST.

NOADWARE GAVE 24 CRITICAL ITEMS - 22 EBATES MONEYMAKER AND TWO OTHERS WHICH WERE COOKIES. tHESE i HAD SEEN BEFORE AND DELETED BUT THEY REAPPEARED ON REBOOT. aFTER THIS DELETE AND REBOOT THEY WERE GONE AND NO ADWARE WAS CLEAR

SPYBOT FOUND EIGHT ITEMS:-

ELITUM.ELITEBAR [2]
CALLINGHOME.BIZ [2]
DyfUCA.IbnternetOptimixer[2]
N-Case [2]

These could not bedeleted by Spybot on first run or reboot

Otherwise all the adverts and popups have gone and tghe machine seems faster which is fantastic

The remaining spybot items are descibed as low threat - do I need to do anything about these? Should I delete the items from the NoAdware quarentine as a routine?

josher

[g2i2r4]

Please download and install AD-Aware.
Check Here on how setup and use it - please make sure you update it first.

You keep talking about NOADWARE. Please remove that program check this link to see why.

[josher]

abject apologies - i think my brains must be fried. I am using Ad Aware and have run it again with nothing found
rgds
josher

[g2i2r4]

I've seen the items found by spybot a lot lately. But I have already been searching the Registry with a couple of users, and found nothing!

So I'd say, ignore them as long as there not causing any trouble.

[josher]

ok and thanks for advice. I really appreciate your prompt help in solving theses problems which were driving me crazy. First time i've had such difficulties in running my own machine. I have made a donation through paypal [ first time for that too] which i hope will help keep this wonderful service running

best regards
josher

[g2i2r4]

Thank you Josher for your donation. It was a pleasure working with you.

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
  
  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
  
  For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
  
  Understanding and Using Firewalls
  
  
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
  
  
• Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
  
  
• Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
  
  A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
  
  Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  
  
• Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.
