I don't think I will delete partition. As far as I can tell sympomatically there is nothing wrong with the computer as it stands right now. If we can't kill those files will I be back to squar one sooner or later or could I be cured since technically nothing is really going wrong right now?

[LDTate]

Reboot and post a new log please. Just want to see if they're still listed.

If we can't kill those files will I be back to squar one sooner or later or could I be cured since technically nothing is really going wrong right now?

Well the biggest thing will be keeping everything up-to-date and download these programs if you don't have them:

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

I have 2 firewalls nortons antivirus protection and addaware ad watch is that "good enough"?

If you think we need to keep working on this then by all means lets do. I just starting to get tired of my computer screen

[LDTate]

Well we have 4 that don't want to go away: Have you tried Safe Mode and login in as Administrator and running HijackThis and fixing these?

[Amebeo]

Yes sp.html doesn't go away nor does Wild tangent, but wkssvr and navmgrd are not on the list there.

[LDTate]

Did I have you download KillBox?


download KillBox.zip from here:
http://www.bleepingc...are/KillBox.zip
Place it in a folder on your Desktop.

Now, extract KillBox (downloaded earlier) from the zip file and double-click on KillBox.exe to run it.

In the main screen of Pocket KillBox, go to Tools in the top menu bar, and select: Delete Temp Files.

Back at the main screen of KillBox, select the option: Delete on Reboot

In the Full Path of File to Delete box, copy and paste this entry:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\sp.html
Press the button with a red circle and a white X.
When asked if you would like to Reboot, select No.


Finally, in the Full Path of File to Delete, copy and paste the following:
C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll
Press the button with a red circle and a white X.
When asked to Reboot, select Yes!!
