The computer is running really well… no real problems, but it looks like our favorite object is still out there.

I know you are getting burned out on this one. Thanks for hanging in there!!

We have too much time invested to stop. Plus I think if we don't get rid of it, you'll get re-infected from it.


I need you to please do the following:

Download FindQoologic-Narrator.zip save it to your Desktop.
http://forums.net-integration.net/index.ph…=post&id=134981

Extract (unzip) the files inside into their own folder called FindQoologic.
Open the FindQoologic folder. Preferable to your desktop.
Locate and double-click the Find-Qoologic.bat file to run it.
wait until a text opens, post it in a reply to your thread

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

Thanks a million for all of your help!! I have downloaded those 3 tools that you recommend and will install them on every machine that I work on. I will also go out today and post a donation to this site. Thanks! Glen
