spybot- search and destroy

Those programs are the best, and should definitely fix your problem.

Thanks for your reply. My concern is that this spyware,malware is deep inside the registry. I have ran the VUNDO but nothing was removed. I have ran several spyware apps and still the pop-ups. Please help me. I don't want to have to re-format this computer. I truly need help. Below is my hijackthis log.

Hijackthis

What problem(s) are you still having?

What problem(s) are you still having?

I am still having the pop-ups and the re-directions. My computer is still sluggish. Can it be fixed or is the problem to far gone?

One of the threads actually had the same problem or similar and theirs was able to be fixed with using different spyware. I also saw that one person had to rename hijackthis because the spyware was able to id it and "hide" from it. Either way, I just want to be able to put my PC back into working condition.

thanks,

Please download VundoFix.exe
to your desktop.

  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HijackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above
instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when
VundoFix appears at reboot.

I ran started at the top of the list at virus-help.org and scanned all night to get rid of my spyware. Use multiple scans to check and balance...
