I think my computer is infected with adware. I've run Microsoft Antispyware, Lavasoft Adaware and Symantec Antivirus scans. I thought that I have removed the adware until unwanted pop ups start showing up. I did the HijackThis scan and I think its because of these:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [updateMgr] C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AdobeUpdateManager.exe AcRdB7_0_5 -reboot 1
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Aceu] "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\ICROSO~1\ati2evxx.exe" -vt yazr
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Szsmf] C:\Program Files\Common Files\?asks\arpa.exe

(when I searched for the arpa.exe file , I found it here :C:\Program Files\Common Files\Τasks\arpa.exe)
Anyway, below is my complete HijackThis log. Could anyone please help me to remove the adware?

Hi, please run HJT again, and select Do system scan only. Then check these items.

Download pocket killbox from http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/killbox.exe & put it on the desktop where you can find it easily

Now Start killbox Copy the list of files below to the clipboard by selecting all of them with your mouse (Left click the start of the list and drag the mouse to the bottom of the list) and when they are all selected ( highlighted in blue) right click on any part of the blue area and say copy

In the Killbox, Go to the toolbar press file and select Paste from clipboard. The first file name will appear in the window and if the file exists it will appear in blue under that window then select standard file kill, press the red X button, say yes to the prompt and once the file deleted message comes up then press the red X again and continue to press untill the last file on the list appears in the window & it says deleted.

File List

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winzlo32.dll

Post a new log

Hi tayspen, thank you for your willingness to help me.

I've done the fixing using the HJT. But when I try to delete the winzlo32.dll file, I get an error message saying that the file cannot be deleted (but the file exists). So can't I just delete the file manually?

Before this I also did an online scan at Symantec website. The result of the scan says that my computer is infected with Adware PurityScan, and listed the files below as infected:

C:\Documents and Settings\noor elyana\Local Settings\Temp\win2F.tmp.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\noor elyana\Local Settings\Temp\!update.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oins.exe

So I quarantined those files. So what do I do from now?

Hi :),

Yes, if killbox didn't delete it you may need to delete it manually.

As for the other files, if the scanner said it took them out its fine. But just to make sure lets clean the temp. files, as that is where it seems to be.

Download CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com). Install it, and run the cleaner part of it.

Then please post a new log, so I can see what there is left.

I still can't delete winzlo32.dll, I get the error message saying "Access Denied". I've tried deleting the file in Safemode, but I still get the same error message. However, there is no more popups.

Below is my latest HJT log:

If that doesnt work, let me know. That should do it.

I did according to your instruction and managed to delete the file. This is my latest HJT log:
