First of all, open Spybot S&D, click Mode>Advanced>Tools>Resident and remove the check from the Tea Timer box. You can reinstate it later but we don't want it interfering with what we need to do. Reboot when done.

Click Start>Run and type Services.msc then hit Ok. Scroll down and find the service called ISEXEng. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

Click here to download navifix.zip. Extract navifix.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop.

Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded. Open Hijack This, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

O2 - BHO: NLS UrlCatcher Class - {AEECBFDA-12FA-4881-BDCE-8C3E1CE4B344} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvms.dll
O2 - BHO: CB UrlCatcher Class - {CE188402-6EE7-4022-8868-AB25173A3E14} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscb.dll
O2 - BHO: ADP UrlCatcher Class - {F4E04583-354E-4076-BE7D-ED6A80FD66DA} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msbe.dll

When done, find and delete the following files if still there:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvms.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msbe.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\angelex.exe

Double-click the navifix.reg, when asked to merge say yes. Next, launch Ad-Aware, click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.

Hi Daemon and thank you for helping me. Here is the Hijack log after I performed
the procedures you requested. Also just to let you know that after I reboot and
rescan with HJT I did a search for Cashback and it still showed up under C:drive showing a folder Cashback.exe. Here is the log file.

That's great but I am having a intermitten problem with accessing the internet. Sometimes it allows me to surf, other time it's states this page is currently unavailable. Web site might be experiencing tech. difficulties or you made need to adjust your browser setting. My default web page is MSN. It also state cannot find Server or DNS error. Also am haveing touble accessing my e-mail (Outlook Express). It will not allow me to log on at all. The error I am receiveing is the host mail.netdoor.com couldnot be found. Please verify that you have enter the server name correctly. account: mail. netdoor.com server: mail. netdoor.com protocol: TOP3, port:110 secure (SSL):no,socket error: 11004,error#:0x800CCC0D. I did not have this problem before this adware stuff got loaded on my computer so I'm assuming this is a result of that. Please let me know if you have any advise on what to do. I had notice that when I ran spybot for the first time it indicated that I had a web browser hijack problem. I did tried to delete it but maybe it is still a problem. Thanks,

:D No, it turns out to be my Firewall blocking Outlook Express. I'm sory for not responding sooner to let you know. I have beeen working 12 to 15hrs shifts at work. I really really appreciate all you have done for me. I was about to give up until you provided the expertise help. Thanks again for fixing my computer problems. It is now in good shape and running like it use to. Take care and God Bless
