Hi All,

I need some serious help. I'm about to eeexxxpppllllooooddddeee!

My computer is infested with those spywares and tracking softwares. I have tried Ad-Aware. However, it cannot delete what it finds. GREAT! I have tried it in SAFE MODE but my mouse doesn't work (in SAFe MODE). Is that normal?

I have also tried SPYBOT. It only found 3 items as opposed to 56 for AD-Aware. Norton Anti-Virus says "no viruses found".

Here is my HijackThis log:

I see you posted in the Ad-aware section also. The mouse not working in Safe Mode might be normal. I assume that this is not one of the regular PS/2 mouse right? The problem is that the fancy mice that we have today require third party drivers and Safe Mode disables everything and runs what's required only to function properly.

The only thing I find wrong in this log is one entry:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing


You may run HijackThis and then check and fix that entry.

Are these just regular cookies from ad companies like Double Click? It should be ok, but they should have been blocked by Spybot if you enabled the silent blocking of bad pages (it's in the Immunize section).
