This has been driving me mad. When I browse, syllables parts of words including 'free', 'date', etc are highlighted as Sponsored Links. Properties show that these are links to www.hotsearchbar.com. The highjacklog file follows and I'd appreciate some advice as to how to rid myself of this rubbish.

TIA Nigel

Hi Little Eagle,

Here's a list of the files for which you asked the Company Name.

C:\WINNT\system32\hsrb.dll - (No company name)

C:\WINNT\System32\7944887.exe - (File not found)

C:\WINNT\system32\sfg_76f7.dll - (SafeGuard Corporation. Comments: http://www.safeguardprotect.com/PCShield/. Product name: SafeGuard Protect PCShield)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\trdb.exe - (File not found)

(I have several files from SafeGuard Corp in system32. It's not a product that I've installed.)

I deleted 'wupdater.exe' a few days ago, before I posted my problem.

I'm still finding that web pages are appearing with 'sponsored links' to http://www.hotsearchbar.com and even though I deleted the references to 'www.isearch.com', it keeps coming back.

Here's the latest HiJackThis log.

Then run System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder.

Under "items to clear" click all. Then click "clear selected items"

Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment
Hi Little Eagle,

That seems to have cleared the problems :thumbup: - many thanks for your help.

As far as I can tell, my computer's behaving fine. I've lost a few passwords to some web sites, but that's no problem.

Here's the HiJack log, thanks again for your help and have a Happy New Year.

Nigel
