Hello. My wife and I left on vacation about two weeks ago. I remembered to shut off the computer, but forgot to unplug our DSL modem (always-on connection). Ever since we got back, I've been battling adware pop-ups, browser hijacks, and website redirections. I use Norton System Works 2005, Ad-Aware SE Personal, and Spybot S&D. A friend also told me to install Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1.0.
I just recently found out about your site and HijackThis from a Yahoo! search. The following is a listing of items found and (supposedly) removed by the respective software packages:
Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1.0 – AlwaysUpdate News, 180Solutions.SearchAssistant, Spyware.jmzxm, AproposMedia, NavidadWorm, SearchMiracle.EliteBar Browser Plugin, and DelFin.MediaViewer.
Spobot S&D – 180Solutions.Zango, AbetterInternet.Aurora, CoolWWWSearch.Service, Pacimedia, and Windows AdTools.
Ad-Aware found nothing (probably because I ran it third).
Norton System Works 2005 Premiere – Look2Me, MediaPass, AUNPS, QoolAid, PurityScan, EliteBar, AdLogix, e2give and newesp.exe SecurityRisk.downldr.
Also, last night my computer starting "blue-screening". It's repeated for a total of four times since last night. Before each time, a small window popped up. I think all of them had the following title line: "winlogon.exe - Application Error". And the latest one had these words in the window: "The instruction at "0x10013c4c" referenced memory at "0x01448000". The memory could not be read." I clicked OK the first three times and Cancel the last time, but it didn't seem to matter as the computer went to a blue-screen with some writing usually ending in some words to the effect of "…physical memory dump complete…." Each time the computer had to be turned off and restarted to recover.
Here is my HijackThis log that I just ran. Any help would be greatly appreciated:
