G'day all. Novice in Australia here. But 'expert' to my friends.
Me mates putey has a bad case of About: blank on it and I can't scrub it with Spybot/Adaware/CWShredder or AVG. All are updated. I ran HIjackthis and clicked the R1 and R0's but they just keep coming back! Can anyone help on this one? I'm a bit scared as it's not my putey and I'd hate to close it down on them. They still have their XP instal disk and that is an option we've discussed. here's the Hijack log...

Hints for me and others.. For all the
R1 and R0 things in HJT, I found that by starting in safe mode and THEN doing an HJT, it got rid of 'em.
The putey is working now but a "...goforsearch..**..".. keeps popping up ads.
But at least my friends putey is online.
So, any help on just ht e 'Gofor.." would be appreciated.
Cheers gang.

Thanks Usedtobe (Canobee?). I'll stroll up the street and ask 'em to email me a fresh HJT log.

Hiya Usedtobe,
I regret the delay in replying. Here is thelatest log from my friends putey.
It seems to be running fairly smoothly at the moment but I'm just not sure if it's all fully cleaned.
Thanks for your time.

Still waiting for my friends to be home...
Cheers.

Usetobe etc, I have finally made contact with my friends up the street and they say the machine is running pure now. They are a very busy couple and if they send me a "HjT" log well and good; otherwise, thanks for youyr help. It fascinates me how many people contact in a panic and when you've assisted, they don't reply.
Cheers.
