Hi,

Could someone please review my Hijack log file. I have pages, popup windows and browsers opening all over, I also have painfully slow performance. Yesterday, I deleted a file called ballmeal.exe using Hijack and this sped things up, but it is still in bad shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Dennis Beisswanger

I strongly reccomend installing Spyware Blaster. It will eliminate your need to have Pest Patrol running, giving you a big boost performance-wise. You already have another browser hijack:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.zestyfind.com/

Installing Spware Blater will eliminate browser hijacks and any other types of spyware. Please give it a try, you'll be very impressed. It uses NO system resources and is totally free! Give it a shot!

You can safely delete the following entries for a performance boost:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WorksFUD] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wkfud.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MoneyStartUp] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\Money Startup.exe

Your system is now clean and ready to install Spyware Blaster, so you won't have to deal with spyware ever again!

If you're wondering what Spware Blaster does. It has a huge list of ActiveX spware (the kind asking you if you want to install and run an application in IE). It prevents these pop-ups asking you to install spyware from ever showing again. It also has a huge list of spyware download sites that it gives to Internet Explorer, and IE blocks you from downloading applications that have spyware attached. It also blocks spyware/tracking cookies, which can track your internet surfing behavior and give you targeted advetising. In short, it configures Internet Explorer settings so you can not get spyware ever again. It doesn't run in the background, because it just tells IE what to block once, and IE takes it from there. You will have to check back to Spyware Blaster to get updates to prevent future spyware threats.

You're welcome and thank you for installing Spyware Blaster <_<, you can now uninstall Pest Patrol. After the uninstall and restart, would you please post another log to see if there are any traces of Pest Patrol left.

Hi,

I uninstalled PestPatrol and ran a new scan. I'm getting hijacked again and my PC has slowed down. Does SpywareBlaster work with Netscape 7.1, that's the browser I use.

Thanks.

I don't see anything unusual except for the hijacked homepage <_<. I'll send it to admin for further observation, he'll know what's up.

Here's a special Zestyfind removal tool (for WindowsME only):
http://www10.brinkst...2M/MagicFix.zip

Download and save the file. Go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows.
Unzip 'MagicFix' and DoubleClick: "FixME!.bat" file within that folder.

--------
If by chance that doesn't work, Zestyfind is usually removed by Ad-aware: Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at http://www.lavasoftu...pport/download/

First update the reference file: http://www.lavahelp....dref/index.html
Next do the following:
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
check: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
Check: "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Press "Scan Now"
- Check option "Use Custom scanning options"
- Check option "Activate In-Depth Scan"
- Press "Select drives\folders to scan"
- Select the active partition which is usually C:
Now press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys.
Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"
Now press "Next" again.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.
