Hi Crush,

Is the first entry below (blue) your legit searchbar/page? If not, you must fix it. Otherwise, leave it alone.

1. Check these in HJT, close all other windows and browsers, and hit Fix Checked.

You have lots of startup entries (O4's). Some of them are NOT needed and resource hogs. I've marked them with ***. The entries in bold MUST be fixed

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [IncrediMail] C:\PROGRA~1\INCRED~1\bin\IncMail.exe /c

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background
>> Starts up MSN. Not required if you don't use it much.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers real-time protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
To protect yourself further:
  • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free Google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
I also suggest that you delete any files from "temp", "tmp" folders. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete Files" and select the box that says "Delete All Offline Content" and click on "OK" twice. Also, empty the recycle bin by right clicking on it and selecting "Empty Recycle Bin". These steps should be done on a regular basis.

Spybot finds … Vbouncer it won’t remove it, it has been there for a few days.
AdAware finds casalemedia


Spysweeper found Websearch toolbar

I also have Spy Blaster & SpyGuard, but they don’t seem to do much.

I am looking into IE/Spyad and MVPS Hosts File

I don’t have a lot of popup problems, but I will kee the Google toolbar in mind, I don’t have a lot of hard drive space left so I have to slow down on adding stuff to it.
I am down to 16 GBs .. when I get down to 10 GBs my computer doesn’t work well..

Strange that you still have some problems, I can't see a lot of malware in this log anymore…

Check this one in HijackThis:

Close all other programs and browsers (this one included) and hit Fix Checked.

Reboot, make a new log and post it here.

Hansie:

Spybot is still detecting Vbouncer (Virtual Bouncer)..
and it can’t remove it.

Do you have any suggestions on removing this problem?

The Incredimail fix is in and I even removed it from the startup list.

Thanx
Crush

You're clean. I'll taking a look around here about Vbouncer. You'll hear from me soon. //edit: Is it listed at Start - Control Panel - Software? If so, try to uninstall it, and if that not works, you can also try to uninstall it while in safe mode ;) Which version from Spybot S&D do you use, by the way?
Post #12
Hansie: I didn’t find VBouncer in Start – Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs. BUT !! I tried the safe mode approach and it Worked!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For you info files: VBouncer was made up of 2 files found in .. C-Windows- Temp- GLF2C.tmp C-Windows- Temp- GLF292.tmp I removed them with Webroot’s Window washer.. I shredded them. My next Spybot test was clean.. I’m using Spybot S&D V1.3 latest update 8-11-04 You were great – I think I am ok now. I signed up for the classroom, so maybe one day I will be part of your team. thanx Crush

You're very welcome!

Now it's very important to get yourself some protection…

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:
  • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers real-time protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
To protect yourself further:
  • IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  • Google Toolbar <= Get the free Google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
I also suggest that you delete your Temp folders regularly. Use CleanUp! to do this automatically for you!
