Thanks, Caperjack! I just downloaded it. We're having one storm after another in Arizona and today there's lightning in the forecast, so I don't know if I'll have the chance to make my log today....

I deleted WinZip (for obvious reasons, since it was the thing that got me in trouble in the first place) and now I cannot get HijackThis to open. I've tried, but I cannot get it to open. It asks to...

Thank you! I went into the regedit after I had followed ALL the instructions all of you had given and by the time I did, there was no trojan keys I could delete, somehow, they were gone. I still,...

Thank you guys! I will try ALL the suggestions because I haven't been able to get rid of these critters yet.
Take care!

Thanks Crunchie! I thought I had done all of that, but this thing keeps coming up! I'll try again. I missed a step or two. (By the way, it doesn't
show the files when I am in Safe mode. It only...

I am still struggling with the adware guys! Haven't been able to delete it. I got the upgrade for Norton Antivirus 2005 hoping it would help but it only tells me what I already knew, that I have it...

Thank you guys! I will follow those instructions I had followed Cruchie's and things got better, but I seem to have some leftover problem because my machine runs our of memory more than it ever has...

Thank you very much! I will first follow the steps suggested by Crunchie and if I still have the problem, then I'll post a HijackThis log.
Thanks again.

Hi! I'm trying my best not to have to post a HihackThis log and give you guys some added work, but I have a nasty I can't find. Norton Antivirus finds it every time and tells me about it but it won't...

Thanks for the info! I went to one of the sites suggested and finally learned how to upgrade my Spybot and Ad-Aware. And added the Inocculation adviced. Haven't run it yet, but I expect it might help...

Hi guys! You're terrific. When I first came into Dani Web I was really in trouble, I had so much spyware and adware in my computer it would be popping up literally every 15 seconds! I have followed...

Thank you guys! You're terrific. I have both Spybot and Ad-Aware, as well as Norton Antivirus, Hijack, Shredder, Spywareguard and SpywareBlaster and I still have gotten bugs in my system. How do you...

Have you heard about Xoftspy? It is supposedly the best new spyware protection. Just wanted some info from people on the know.
Thanks!

Anway, I hope I didn't add...

Thank you for bearing with me. I copied your instructions to follow them carefully. Mind you, I am NOT technical and these are hard for me. I made a bootable disk last night to try to remove Look2Me...
