I have tried doing a system restore, and I have run Ad-Aware and Spypot as weel at F-Prot AntiVirus.

But I still get pop-ups (I am sure this was caused by my running some ill-advised software).

Can anyone give me suggestions about my next step or action?

Here is my Output from HiJackThis. I have run this and checked everything to be fixed too. But this does not seem to work either.

That is a very short log. Are you sure you copied it all? If you used msconfig or any other tool to prevent items from running at start up, you need to re-enable them, so we can check to see if its malware. Also do the scan in normal mode of windows., not safe.

OK, I did as you asked and when I restarted I got this pop up:

RUNDLL
Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL
The specified module could not be found.

This may take some time. In order to run spysweeper so that it removes the bugs it found, I had to buy the product. But there is a problem installing the active version. I have to contact their tech support.

These look like great tools. One thing that concerns me is that there is a virus that Ewido keeps finding. I would think that running it once would clean the computer and if I run the program again it will not find it. There seems to be something that keeps putting a virus on my system.

Ok, just post the ewido log, and a fresh HJT log, and I will look at it when I get home :).

Thank you. I will post it when I get home :) Right now ewido is running and it takes a while to complete.

Well, I have some good news. Now I have gotten Webroot Spy Sweeper's complete version to run!

Good! now let it finsih then post a new HJT log, and we will finally finsih getting you cleaned!

The Spy Sweeper currently says no adware or unwanted items found. THe ewido anti-virus program seems to keep finding stuff even after it has been run previously.

I think I see what might be the cause of the problems. I will bold it below.

Here is the Hijack This log:

That log looks pretty short. If you have disabled stuff from running at startup, re-enable them, reboot and post a new log.

As far as Explorer.exe goes, that is a critical windows file. Is is what you use to navigate your computer.

So I just found out the hard way when I stopped it as a process :o

I ran ewido anti-malware. I found that the 162 in the list are actually mostly firefox cookies except for this one:

I am going to restart in safe mode and see if I can get a clean slate and then try in normal mode once more....

Please download Look2Me-Destroyer.exe to your desktop.

Heh, I knew there was a specific program to use to remove it. I just couldnt rememeber it.

Well, I know for next time. :)

It looks like I am infected with Look2Me virus. Any advice in getting rid of it?

I have run a couple of anti-virus programs and they say they have found it and cleaned it, but it is still there. I have run the programs you suggested in safe mode, but it still remains.

Did you try What Demented said? That should take care of it...

Symantec has a little removal fix that worked pretty good for me. I used all the spyware and said it was clean, but the problem still existed until I ran FxNdotN.exe. Spybot couldn't clean it and kept finding it. After that, and I think I had to physically delete the key from the registry (Symantec gave those instructrions also), everything was back to normal. Hope you get it fixed!

They are not having NewDotNet problems, they have a Look2Me infection :)

Look2Me Destroyer should get it, if not there are other ways of removing it...
