Hi. I've been infected with pop-up windows. They pop up even when my browser is closed. My task manager applications window tells me its from ads.k8l. I have used Spy Sweeper, Search & Destroy, AVG, Lavasoft etc… Nothing gets rid of them. Here is the log info you request from the Hijackthis program:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to Tom Coyote :) I'm GS2, and I will be helping you I am an Undergraduate, and therefore everything I post has to be checked by an expert; this means there may be a slight delay between my replies, I will post shortly with the next step. Please feel free to ask questions at anytime if you are unsure of the steps I ask you to undertake.
I would like to see another log from HijackThis.
  • Run Hijackthis.
  • Click on Open the Misc Tools section.
  • Next click on Open uninstall manager.
  • Press the Save list button. It will open a Notepad file.
  • Copy & Paste the entire contents of that file back here

Hi riverside

How are you doing with this, do you still need assistance ?


Hi GS2. Thanks for helping. I bought 2 spyware removers which didn't help. I downloaded superantispyware which got rid of the pop ups! But now I'm having a conflict with my Avid editing software and am unable to do a system restore for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the info you requested. Thanks.

Hi riverside, have the conflicts with Avid only been occurring since installing the extra programs ?
Your system restore problems may be due to corrupted restore points, can you please do the following:


Visit Kaspersky Anti-Virus Online scanner
Please use Internet Explorer for this scan
Click on the Kaspersky Online Scanner Button (The first button)
A new window will now open
Accept the agreement by clicking on the accept button at the bottom of the agreement page
It will now install an active x compenent into your browser
Once done it will automatically start downloading the virus definitions, once it has done click on the next button
Now click on Scan Settings
In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
–> Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
–> Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
–> Scan Options:
–> Scan Archives
–> Scan Mail Bases

Click OK
Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
Now click on the Save as Text button:
Save the file to your desktop.

Then run HijackThis and post the log it creates along with the Kaspersky report.

riverside, have you got those logs for me ?

Do you still need help with this ?


Hi GS2,
Somehow my nVidia driver was changed so I updated it and Avid is working fine. The pop-ups are gone thanks to the superantispyware. I'm running the program you suggested and will send the logs to you when complete.

Thanks

–Thanks
Glad you got things sorted :)

I notice you have two security suites installed McAfee and Yahioo anti-virus supplied by CA, does the Yahoo antivirus program include a firewall ?.
Due to the conflicts and possibility of a reduction in the security of your system that can occur from having two firewalls and two anti-virus programs (with real-time scanning enabled) running at the same time, please uninstall one of them.
