I downloaded spybot search & destroy, however I'm still getting them. Any other suggestions? Thanks! I did notice after running spybot it said there was 1 problem that it couldn't fix because it was in the memory and it may fix the problem on a restart but didn't seem to.

Okay, let's have a look with HiJack This. Again, follow the "HiJack This Guide" link in my signature and follow the instructions.

Ok, I think I've just made it worse! In between posts, I previously downloaded EZ Armour ANti Virus software that's on this website thinking it should help. And now I keep getting Internet Explorer fatal error. So I just kept closing them to get your website to down load hijack this. I think I was able to do so, however, I either am not downloading it correctly or something else is the problem, because when I try to open it up from the desktop it asks me to open up with a program and not sure which one to pick. I'm using another computer to type this post just because it was too hard to even get to the website. Any other suggestions. Thanks !!!

The HiJack This file has been compressed (zipped) to reduce it's size for a faster download. Zip is a very common compression format, and widely used.

Since Windows is asking which program you want to open with, it means you probably don't have an unzipping program installed on your computer. Here's a couple good FREE ones (click on a link to download):

WinZip 8.1
WinRAR 3.20

After installing one of these programs you should be able to open and run HiJack This.

c:\ie.reg <- file
C:\WINDOWS\mwsvm.exe <- file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\stcloader.exe <- file

NOTE: To avoid the risk of any of the above not being found due to them having the 'Hidden' attribute, first make sure that in Folder Options > View hidden and operating system files are set to show:

Reboot in Safe mode (by tapping F8 at startup) and delete:

Download LSPFix click "I know what I'm doing" and delete all entries that match inetadpt.dll

Finally, you may want to check Add/Remove Programs for any of the following and remove them if found:
Search Toolbar
MSIETS
Internet 404

Okay, thing I'm getting somewhere now:) Thank You Thank You!!!

This is the Log after I did the fix. There was 1 that I couldn't delete. Said Windows was using them so I couldn't delet the file. It was Windows\mwsvm.exe.

Also, I forgot to mention. I rebooted in safemode but couldn't find the file 6MOX0050 in Windows. I did a search etc.

[admin]

Yup, we're making progress. Run HiJack This again and fix these entries:
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {ed6fa260-372a-11d8-af2f-0080c804ab8c} - C:\WINDOWS\APPLICATION DATA\MSITJBK.DLL
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~3.DLL,NewDotNetStartup

The mwsvm.exe is a file used by Spyware called SeekSeek. Download Adaware and run it. It can be difficult, but, this should easily remove it.

Did you do this step? "Download LSPFix click "I know what I'm doing" and delete all entries that match "inetadpt.dll". When finished those "O10" entries should be gone. (They can keep you from accessing the Internet.)

6MOX0050 was a worm infection. But, it doesn't appear in this log, so it' been removed.

Post another log when finished.

[realapp]

Ok, here is the latest log. Yes, I did all of the above. What do you think? It seems to be running better anyway. Anything else. I appreciate your help and Thank you sooooo much!

Hmm... Now NewDotNet has shown up (not unusual). You can uninstall it by going to start->settings->control panel-> add/remove programs and double click on any list item with "NewDotNet" in its name. When finished let's look at one more log to be sure your in the clear.

There was nothing in the Add/Remove Programs listing New Dot Net Here is the log however. Thanks

You can download a New.Net uninstaller by clicking here. Run it and reboot.

If that's sucessful, you're good to go!
Post another log if you'd like confirmation.
