You have a few things there that you do not want on your PC, but you are running hijackthis from a Temp folder.
Right click on your desktop to create a new folder and name it hijackthis, then move the hijackthis.exe from C:\DOCUME~1\lobo\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\ to the new folder.
Run hijackthis from there and post that log back here.

OK, did what you said and here go's :)

lobo01,

Hi! and welcome to the Daniweb forums.

===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

WildTangent

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Config..."
2. Click "Misc Tools"
3. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\Program Files\BestBuy\HelpExpress\lobo\HXIUL.EXE
C:\Program Files\BestBuy\HelpExpress\lobo\Client\HelpExp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\emsw.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Now, let's open a command prompt by going to the start menu and then select 'Run'.

In the box that pops up type in 'cmd'. The command prompt will open.

OR

You can go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u IE_ClrSch.DLL

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save typing them in.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to "view system and hidden files/ folders:"

folders...

C:\Program Files\BestBuy
C:\Program Files\ClearSearch
C:\Program Files\WildTangent
C:\Program Files\Rebate_Nation

files...

C:\WINDOWS\emsw.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\BMUpdate.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\toolbar_.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting your PC, post back a new log and let me know how everything goes.

-

crunchie.

Followed all your directions and SpywareBlaster is installed.. I must say you came from computer heaven or something.. Almost to good to be true..

THANKS again for all your awsome help!!

Here's the latest.. :cheesy:

Congratulations! Your log looks clean - good work!

===============

Here's a canned I will be posting for each finished log :D.

Now that your PC is clean you need to follow these easy steps to keeping it this way:

Secure your Internet Explorer by going here and following the setup instructions.

Use a firewall to help prevent your PC's control being usurped by undesireables. There is a link to a good, free firewall in my signature.

Install and keep updated, Ad-Aware SE, and Spybot S&D.
Run them both on a regular basis, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Install an anti-virus. There are some good, free AV's available today. Make sure that it is updated regularly and have it scan your system often.

Download Spywareblaster, from www.javacoolsoftware.com install and keep it updated to help keep your system clean.
Once you have checked for updates, click the 'enable all protection' link.

Check for Windows Updates. Microsoft regularly post updates for your systems safe running. Make sure to take advantage of this. Reboot when installed and return to make sure there are no others. Go here

Clear your Temp folders.
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.

===============

If you're having any more problems, post back.

Happy surfing,
