I`ve finalized the first steps. But I`me having troubble installingb SP1a. The process holts after downloading possible security updates (9 updates) and refusees to install them forr some reason. Hope you have some clue of how to help me.

Original problem:
This add (red and black) for a securitycompany (smart security) hijacked my desktpop background and genereal appereance.
After checking the companypages, this add proved to be illegeal, and smart security are trying to help people remove it. I`ve manged to get my general appereance back (icons ), but the add still stays. The companypages also offered an expanation of how to remove the add manually (the first was a download), I haven`t tried this yet.

This add also visits me as a popup-window, how nice of it tio care. In addition I`me bothered with to popups; adslim(something) and dosearch (something), both offering me spyware removal.

In my quest for removing theese pests I`ve disvovered some interesting automatic startupprocesses, you know - the ones that`s not supposed to be there. I elimenated one of them (service host), but I`me unable to elimanate the other to that seeme suspicious (they also seem to be connected some how). When I try to delete them they seem to regenerate. I`ve identified theese as TBPS and WinTools. After googling them of I found out theyre supposed to be really har to get rid of.
I`me not sure if theese processes are directly connected to the adds.

Anyway like I said, I`ve run the programs you suggested, they all identified and eliminated quite an amount of files. They all left some intact to, unable to do anything. TDS3, as the last step I`ve completed, gave me a list og files that seeme suspiscious somehow. However, since I`me only a geek in a non-computing fashion, and generally afraid of what my computer can do to me, I`me not sure what to do with this list. I`me posting it below.

This concludes everything I know about my problems, hope you can help me.

On top of everything I`me not able to run hijackthis, it encounters an error and haas to shut down...
