That tool bar is still there.

Your computer has a number of spyware programs that we need to remove. For more info on spyware see the Spyware FAQ link in my signature.

Let's start with a couple free programs.

Ad-aware. Open Ad-Aware and use the Check for updates now link. Download and accept the latest reference file. When finished click the Start button. When done scanning, the Abort button will change to Next. Click the Next button. Right-click in the Scanning Results window and click "Select all objects". Then click the "Next" button and confirm that you want to delete the selected entries.

Spybot Search & Destroy Download and install. Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the Search for updates button, if any are found then click the Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in red, then click the Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.

When finished, Reboot your computer. Finally, reply to this post with a new HiJackThis log so we can look for any nasties that may have been missed.

CLICK HERE to download Ad-aware
CLICK HERE to download Spybot S&D

Computer is running very sexy now, GOGO GEEKS!

[Smokey]

Did you delete this folder in safe mode, it's still in your log:

C:\Program Files\WebSavings_from_Ebates\

If not go into safe mode and delete it.

After that, fix this entry in safe mode:
O8 - Extra context menu item: Web Savings - file://C:\Program Files\WebSavings_from_Ebates\Sy400\Tp400\scri400a.htm

After that, Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use).

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.
Link to SpywareBlaster: http://www.geekstogo...tion=show&id=12

It's also CRITICAL to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

Included in those updates is Windows XP Service Pack 2. Since you're junkware free, the time to get it is NOW. Service Pack 2 is a MAJOR upgrade for XP. It adds numerous security and software patches, as well as new features and functionality. You will also be adding another layer of protection against future threats.

Running an anti-virus and keeping it up-to-date is REQUIRED to keep a clean system. If you don't have one or are sick of paying for what you have, AVG offers a great, free anti-virus:
http://free.grisoft....us/doc/2/tpl/v5

A firewall is also another MUST. If you do not have one or Windows XP Service Pack 2, both Zone Labs and Sygate offer great, free firewalls. I suggest using Zone Alarm for an advanced user or Sygate Personal Firewall for beginner users.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser at all times besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend Firefox (You'll need to use IE only to visit Windows Update).
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder in a couple weeks if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.

[h3adsh0tasc]

Ive done everything there.
So, if i download the service pack, i dont need a firewall?

[coachwife6]

It's up to you. Microsoft has a firewall in SP2. But it's so new, I don't know what the verdict is on how effective it is or will be. There are several free options out there. It's totally your call.

[h3adsh0tasc]

Ok, thanks, Also, Does spyware blaster still run if i close it?

[coachwife6]

Yes it does. Just make sure you update every few days and make sure all protections are enabled. Holler back if you need any more help.

[admin]

The Windows Firewall is better than nothing, but it does have limitations. The biggest fault of Windows firewall is that it only blocks incoming attacks. If you have malware on your computer broadcasting info, Windows firewall won't notify or block this activity.

[Smokey]

Admin,
Just an update, with Service Pack 2, Windows Firewall now blocks both incoming AND outgoing traffic. Just like any other firewall.
