A short time ago, I minimized my OE 6 e-mail, and noticed a popup on my desktop. It was entitled "Yield Manager". I'm wondering where the heck it came from.

I run XP Home-SP2 and have never seen this ad before. I did a Start\Search and found 4 entries (two temp files, one cookie a folder which just led to the cookie). I deleted all four, did another search and came up empty.

The only changes to my PC today, would have been updates (Sun Java, AVG and Bazooka). I run and update the following: Zone Alarm firewall, spywareblaster, spywareguard, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, spyaudit1, Ccleaner, Gould's CleanUp, ewido security suite, Win Patrol, mrublaster, Window Washer and use Trend Micro Housecall and Panda for virus scans.

How and the heck would it have gotten there?

I also opened a few e-mails from reliable companies and friends, but didn't notice this until after the Sun Java update. But even then, after my updates were finished I ran Clean-Up and did a reboot from that program and nothing showed on the desktop.

Please advise.

Thanks ilago, for all the advice.

This is a low-prority HJT log file. My PC is running fine. It's just a problem concerning "Yield Manager".

Please take a look, when you have time.

Thanks to all her at geeks to go.com.

Just wondering if I did this right, It's been awhile since I posted the hjt. I realize this is a busy place and that mine is not high priority.

Thanks.

Hi rgsmile

I'm sorry I've taken so long to get back to you, I had an unexpected illness which kept me offline for quite a while :tazz:

As it has been two weeks could you post a new HijackThis log so it's fully up to date and my response will be appropriate.

Hi rgsmile

I'm just going through your log now. I should post some information in the next day or so. I thought I had better keep you up to date so you know I haven't forgotten you.

Thank you for your patience.
