Hi there. Uninstall P2P Networking & WebRebates from add\remove programs, if there.

You may wish to put hijackthis.exe into it's own, exclusive folder for when it creates back-ups. Something like:

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there, and double click to run it.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

-Blazefind Windupdates Adware

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking-folder
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates-folder
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\tsa-folder

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log please.

I can see that these two entries are still there, so you must have had a problem deleting the folder, yes? C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\tsa\tsm.exe C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\tsa\ts.exe Open Task Manager & end process on those two files, then manually delete the *tsa* folder. As for the rest………… it doesn't show up. Can you please post the full log. :)

Sorry about that :huh: Yeah, I couldn't find those TSA files but did find it listed in Add and Remove Programs–don't know if that's the same one or not.

Cannot see any problems there. Looks like the last entry may have been cut short though. Looks the same as in your first post though, so there's no problems :).

You're welcome :) . A couple of programs you may want to install on your comp to help keep you clean. Update & run them about once a week.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it before scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'
Select 'activate in-depth scan' before starting scan.
When the scan is finished select 'next.'
Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot

Download & instal Spybot S&D from here. Update it before scanning.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. This program will prevent the install of bad activex controls that it has knowledge of. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot

Spywareblaster
