I have trouble with something trying to access the internet. When i'm online all kinds of sites pop up and some load stuff on my computer. I have ad-aware, spybot search and destroy, CWshredder, and registry mechanic on my computer now, these have been downloaded since the problem started. I have ran all of these and I still have the problem. I also loaded hijack this and below is a copy of running processes. I need to know what is bad.

Hi Hoosiers. You have some things going on with your computer. I need you to post the entire log. You cut off the top part - that is easy to do sometimes. Re-scan it and post it, so we will know what type of machine we're working with. <_<

When I restarted after entering safe mode I ran the hijack this and 2 items appeared after I had deleted them.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

So I deleted them again. I couldn't find the folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

Get rid of these Hoosiers and see if it helps on the pop-ups. My two cents: I use firefox as my browser and have been using it for four months - I haven't had one pop-up in that time.

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) Click Here.

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.

It's also very important 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.

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 Posted Image.
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 if everything is working okay.

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