Ok, I read through many of the posts that referenced this Red button with White Cross in taskbar and looked at suggestions for removing Spyware that pops up newgenlook.info ad pages... but none of those suggestions seem to work for me --

I can't find any of the folders or files that were indicated to be removed! Here's my log, please let me know any ideas --

THANKS!

Quick Note -

After looking at some other people's logs with a similar problem (newgenlook.info) -- I found that they had some similar files that I tried to "fix" using HiJackThis:

O3 - Toolbar: &Radio - {8E718888-423F-11D2-876E-00A0C9082467} - H:\WINDOWS\System32\msdxm.ocx

and

09 - Extra Button Messenger - {...-...} - H:\program files\messenger\msmsg.exe
09 - Extra 'tools' menuitem - ..... .... - H:\program files\messenger\msmsg.exe


I don't know if this is of any significance, but I just can't seem to find the file that's causing that cross/popups in the taskbar to remain. plz help?

This problem is not getting resolved with either Spybot, Ad-Ware SE, MS Antispyware, NOrton AV.. Any ideas?

Ok, I figured it out, looking at someone else's post. It should've been pretty simple, but I don't know what I was thinking.

I checked in my %SystemRoot%/System32 (i.e. H:\Windows\System32) for files that have the same create date as a bunch of .ICO files -- those that were put as garbage on my Desktop by spyware.

In my case those files were param32.dll, guninstall.exe and popup_bl.dll.

I had KillBox installed, so I did the "delete on reboot" option, and then put paths to these files. Then before I hit reboot after the last entry, I 'fixed' the **R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.newgenloo...fo/ad/ad0179/**

The rest worked fine.

I am glad that you got your issue resolved, but before you post your fix, you should know that each infection is different depending on the variant and the computer.

To all others who read this

Please post your log in a new thread. This fix may not work for your computer.
