Hello everyone,
For the last two weeks I was fighting to get rid of an unwanted, self-installed program. Gradually I lost controll of the CD-RW, then DVD-RW, now the scanner is acting. Computer speed is still ok.
After performing some researches on the Internet I hit your forum. I'm impressed by your committment to fix what some morons are distroying to get a money-making scheme.
Please give me a hand!

THERE IS NO BUBBLE ANYMORE TO POP UP. THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE SLOW, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

So what do you think, mister expert, sir?

[LDTate]

I think you did a good job

Lets clean-up.

Please download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder.
here.

Run 3S under “Items To Clear” tab place a checkmark in all of them but the last.

Reboot and Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
Also please describe how your computer behaves now.

So what do you think?
It seems that the browser is slow - could be something or I'm paranoiac?

use Add/Remove Programs and remove Ewido. That should help the speed.

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.

Sorry I'm not able to help you with that. You can try a site like PCPitstop. They do hardware fixes.
