Hello! I'm sorry to bother you all, but I was hoping you could look over my log file for me… I've had trouble with pop-ps and a few processes running which I've tried (unsuccessfully) to remove.

I've run Spybot recently, and it found and deleted several things. I tried to run Ad-Aware several times (tried, failed, rebooted, tried, failed, etc.) It starts off well, but soon into the scan, Explorer has an error (which I simply ignore, otherwise it would reboot the system) the scan will finish, but then the program will freeze in the middle of the deleting process. I did go into C:\Windows a while back and delete several things I knew did not belong (double-checked myself w/ a few sites off of google)- hopefully that was not stupid, but so far I have seen no ill effects. If things were at all questionable, I left them alone. Earlier when AIM was running there was a Run32dll error problem that would cause it to shut down- I went to Microsoft's site, followed their advice by altering the System.ini file… Things seem to be okay with that as well.

Sorry if that was too much information! Thanks for sharing your time with me– I really appreciate your help.

Hello Ashera , welcome to the TC.


Important: Do this before any fix.

Please put your HijackThis in it's own folder, (I create a new folder in C:\ named HJT).
You can do a Right Click on any open area on the desktop, New> Folder, then rename the folder HJT.

Go to where your HijackThis is and Right Click on HijackThis.exe, select Cut, then open the new folder you just created (HJT) Right Click in the folder and select paste.

The reason we do this is Hijackthis creates backup files just in case you'd need to restore one and we'll be cleaning out the temp files.




I suggest you do this:

Use Add/Remove Programs and remove these.
SURFSIDEKICK
Web Rebates

Run Hijack This again and put a check by these.

ALL 016's. They'll come back if needed.

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed)
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

I suggest you do this:

Use Add/Remove Programs and remove WildTangent

Run Hijack This again and put a check by these.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 2] C:\PROGRAM FILES\SURFSIDEKICK 2\Ssk.exe

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"

Use Add/Remove Programs and remove SurfSideKick 2


Before restart, Empty Recycle Bin.

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Post #5
WildTangent and SurfSideKick 2 were not on the list of programs in the Add/Remove Programs list, but 'Internet Optimizer' and 'Uninstall 180searchAssistant' were. Should I do anything with those two, or just ignore them? I did something with that 180 thing earlier today… Hard to remember exactly what, though. Followed some tutorial I found on google on how to get rid of it manually, since Spybot didn't, and Ad Aware wasn't running correctly… Whatever I did made the "180ax" cease to appear when I check w/ Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Maybe that was what I deleted in C:\Windows…

Anyway, here's my new log. (After checking Surfsidekick 2 in HJT and rebooting- Recycle Bin was empty.) Thanks again for your help.

'Internet Optimizer' and 'Uninstall 180searchAssistant' were. Should I do anything with those two, or just ignore them? I did something with that 180 thing



Yes, remove both of those. I don't see either one in your running process or log, but if they're in Add/Remove, get rid of them.

Did you maybe disable them in Msconfig?
Post #7
I tried running Ad-Aware again since we had made some changes on the system, and this time it worked (actually finished the deletion process instead of freezing up.) I then went into Add/Remove programs, and Internet Optimizer was no longer on the list. Uninstall 180searchAssistant was, however, so I removed that.

Hm, disabled something on msconfig? Likely. I'll open that and tell you what iffy programs I have that are currently under the start-up tab, but are unchecked.

SurfSideKick 2
My Comet Cursor
eSafe Protect
mediamotor.exe
SurfSideKick 2
loads.exe
jsdqjax
180ax
Internet Optimizer

The following was checked (I left it checked) and appeared two times on the list, just like SurfSideKick 2 did.

LoadPowerProfile

Also, I went into Program Files (on C) to try to find the SurfSideKick 2 folder that was indicated next to the entry in the msconfig startup tab, but I couldn't find it. A search for "ssk," however, returned a couple programs- an "sskUpdater.exe" and "sskb5.exe." I haven't done anything to those, nor have I gone hunting for the other programs that I listed as unchecked in the msconfig startup tab. What should I do regarding those?

Here's my latest log (after the deletion of Uninstall 180searchAssistant, a seemingly successful Ad-Aware scan/removal process, and a reboot.) Thanks for your help!

however, returned a couple programs- an "sskUpdater.exe" and "sskb5.exe."

I'd delete those.


eSafe Protect  ESPWatch.exe eSafe from Aladdin - internet security for gateway and E-mail servers

Should be ok.


I'd search for and delete all these.

Do you know what this one is?

Was only able to find and delete sskb5.exe, sskUpdater.exe, comet.cur, jsdqjax.lgc, ssk.lgc, suploads.lgc, ssk.log, and three .zip comet cursor files. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ICONFIG.EXE] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\SHUTTL~1\ICONFIG.EXE "Software\Shuttle Technology\07810200" Hmm, I'm not sure. I don't recognize it, really. When I opened its folder, the following two items were present: Iconfig.exe Iconfig.dll Do you think it is a driver of some sort? Or is it simply a pest? I'm unsure on this, but am perfectly fine with deleteing it, if you think I should. Thank you again for your help, LDTate.

I think it's OK. I can't find where any of the other pros have deleted it, so lets leave it alone :thumbup: Lets have one more look: copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

GREAT job Ashera :D

Log looks good :D :thumbup: How is it running any issues?

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D
Post #13
Thank you so much for all of your help, LDTate! You've been wonderful. Things are running smoothly. I will look into the programs you mentioned. Am I allowed to ask a firewall related question here? If that's a problem, no worries, I'll find another forum… :)
Post #15
Hm, it actually might be a better idea to wait until a later date to ask my questions. (I'm going to put together another system that I want to share the wireless broadband connection, and my questions had to do with that…) It would probably be easier to fix things when they are actually sitting in front of me. One last thing- how often should I post a hijackthis log? Only when I'm having trouble that the other programs can't fix, or…? Thanks again for sharing your time and effort with me. –Ashera
