I keep getting popups and there are toolbars that won't go away.
Homepage also gets hijacked once in a while.

I run spybot and ad-aware but it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Here is my log. Thanks.

Post #2
Open Control Panel (on the start menu), and then Add Or Remove Programs.

Find any of these that are on the list an uninstall them:
  • Browser Enhancer
  • Lop.com
  • LOP SEARCH
  • Window Searching
  • Window Active
Then Reboot and post a new Hijackthis log.
Post #3
I removed Window Searching and rebooted. Here is my new log. Thanks a lot!

Good job, that log looks clean now! :)

There are three more items that you can fix. They are not bad, but they are not needed and they do use up resources. They are these:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

Also, read the article at http://www1.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/prevent.php for advice on keeping it clean.

Good luck :wavey:
