I'm assuming there's nothing there causing the problem, or that I should delete (besides the "Your PC is infected with Spyware" thing -- I delete it and it comes back)

To remove spydeleter O9 entries: Open notepad, and copy and paste the contents of the quote box below into a new text file.

Save it as file name: "fixme.reg" (not including the quotes). Save as file type: *All files* and save it on your Desktop.

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{FB74C951-ACA1-4e33-A94C-A9261EB2CCB7}]

Then, locate fixme.reg on your desktop and double-click it.
You will receive a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?".
Answer 'Yes' and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".

You can delete fixme.reg when finished. Reboot and post a fresh log.

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend FireFox .

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try.


P.S. I already have SpywareBlaster.

I just tried that Reg Edit thing and as soon as it was done, I noticed the link was gone from my Tools menu, but my internet connection didn't work - After restarting, it still didn't work. I did a System Restore and now everything is OK, except the links are back.

Try it again, I know it works.
