This thread shows the classic pattern of resident adware: persistent popups that appear even when the machine is offline point to something running locally (a startup entry, service, scheduled task or a hosts/DNS redirect) rather than a transient web banner. ’s logs and the good suggestions from , and are on the right track — remove P2P if you use it, get an updated HijackThis and clean browser helper objects — but the next steps below focus on the deeper checks that stop offline popups for good.

  1. Isolate and back up. Unplug network access while cleaning and copy important personal files to an external drive.
  2. Look for resident offenders: boot to Safe Mode, run up-to-date scanners (multiple engines), then use a startup inspection tool (Autoruns/Process Explorer) to disable unknown run/auto-start entries. Export registry keys or create a system image before you change anything.
  3. Check scheduled tasks and Windows services for unfamiliar entries and disable them temporarily. Also inspect the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and the adapter DNS settings — restore DNS to automatic or a trusted public server, then run ipconfig /flushdns.
  4. Remove unwanted BHOs/toolbars from the browser (Manage Add-ons or a dedicated removal tool) and reset the browser if needed. After removals, reboot and run fresh scans and an updated HijackThis; post the new log if problems persist.
  5. If a suspicious file remains, submit it to a multi-engine scanner (VirusTotal) rather than deleting unknown signed system files. If cleanup fails or the system integrity is doubtful, a clean OS reinstall is the safest option.

Final notes: change important passwords from a clean device after cleanup, avoid running P2P without careful caution, and keep anti‑malware and autorun tools current.

1. As long as you have Kazaa and other P2P programs installed, they will continue to create problems. Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove them. Run Kazaabegone from here to be sure all remnants of kazaa have been removed:

2. Close all windows, scan with the updated HJT, and have it fix this entry:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ynaqqah] C:\WINDOWS\System32\foyyiehl.exe

3. Go to C:\WINDOWS, System32 folder and delete this, if found: foyyiehl.exe

4. Update hijackthis to v1.98.2.

5. Empty the contents of all Temp and Temporary Internet folders for all users.

6. Follow the recommendations in this thread to clean up some of the remaining problems:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html (don't leave out SpywareBlaster)

7. Close all windows, scan with the updated HJT, and post a new log.

This one should stop the pop-ups;

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00320615-B6C2-40A6-8F99-F1C52D674FAD} - C:\WINDOWS\localNRD.dll

And this one showes up red in hijackhelper.

my opinon on this is as long as you watch what you download and have a good antivirus program Kazaa lite is OK .don't use it any more i use this one now ARES P2P ,if you do get it when you install ,watch for the option to uncheck to install NAv Helper and The Search toolbar .

Nuthins red btw

You need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

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.
