any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Temporarily disable Tea-Timer whilst we do the repair.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

N1 - Netscape 4: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.searchalot.com"); (C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\pkw\prefs.js)

Reboot and post another log please.

Do you know if this is legitimate?

C:\Program Files\internet\spamdel\spamdelete.exe

Thanks Crunchie for helping. Below are the results of the new scan. What does "teatimer" do? BTW scanning with XoftSpy still brings up:Troj/Agent-BN is a downloader Trojan for the Windows platform. Troj/Agent-BN connects to a preconfigured internet site and downloads code

Tea-Timer helps prevent changes due to malware, but if Spybot is installed after the fact, it will also prevent it's removal :).
Where is the Troj/Agent-BN being found?
Clear out your Temporary internet files and other temp files.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >Internet Options.

Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
delete all Offline content as well. Clear out Cookies.

Also, go to Start > Find/search > Files or folders > in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit > select all -> File > delete.

Empty/delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. (Contents but not the folder itself.)

This one too if Win2K or XP.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Empty the Recycle Bin.

According to XoftSpy Troy/agent-BN is located in Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSetttings\
Zonemaps\Domain\Search-soft.net but I cannot find a registry entry or a file that matches that discription. All of the searches I have done have come up with nothing. I have deleated all the tmp files you like you recommended and the cookies. There some files which will not delete because they are being shared.
What next? Thanks

Go here http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ and download, unzip and run the Registry Search Tool. Type Search-soft.net in the dialog box. Let it run and after a few minutes, a prompt will appear. Click OK to write the results to Notepad and post them here.

Iran the regsearch and it reports no intance of search-soft.net found. This is getting stranger and stranger.

Go to Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\
Zonemaps\Domain and see if search-soft.net is listed. If it is then delete it.
You could also try searching for search-soft.
What version of xoft spy do you have?

Go to Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\
Zonemaps\Domain and see if search-soft.net is listed. If it is then delete it.

I have serched both in the registry and in file search for the string listed and for
Troy/Agent-BN and nothing comes up. In fact I have no folder for just "Software."


You could also try searching for search-soft.
What version of xoft spy do you have?

The latest unregistered version which is 4.10. I am wondering if the progrm comes up with this trojan to get us to pruchase the program for $40 in order to get rid of the trojan. I have already been burned by PC Orion although I was able to get a refund from them so I am suspicious now.

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Did that entry actually exist?

Thanks Crunchie, I think that answers my question. My scans with SpyBOT and Ad-ware are coming up with good results so I will stick with them. Do you hppen to know of any good free email blockers that will get rid of spam and especially sporn?

You may want to look here for a spam blocker. Cannot recommend any myself as I use the built in spam filter in my browser.
