OK -I've run Spybot and AdAware, and done the online virus scan at trendmicro.com. We also have Symantec virus protection that runs daily. I got slammed a while back - hijacked home page, tons of popups, etc., and I've cleaned most of it up but I cannot search from my IE address bar, and somtimes when I get a "page not found" error either freeesearch.com or flashlightsearch.com windows open up (plus I do get the random "Adult Love Connection" popups when I've got IE open but minimized). I had HJT remove "ZSearch" which may have helped with the freeesearch issue.
I suspect the R3 may be a problem, but I didn't want to delete it without checking here. The first time I ran HT I got some TV Media things, so I went into Add/Remove Programs and removed it (I'd done this before but it apparently returned), and then had HJT fix those files. In Add/Remove Programs there is one called "DealHelper" which I know I don't want, but I can't remove it - I get a message, "Installation log file not found!" HJT did get rid of some associated files, however.

I also ran Pest Patrol, which found several things that AdAware and Spybot did not (ClientMan, RedV, Adware.IEhelper, etc.) - but I've heard others talk about false positives with PP and since they want $40 to remove the pests, I'm not sure about it....
I have SpywareBlaster, as well as InstallSpy, now.
If this is a "clean" log, any ideas as to why I can't search from the IE address bar?
TIA!!
