Hi, I am new to this forum, since April 10, 2004, I have been getting messages from Trend which I have their program on my computer. A box keeps coming up every so often with SPYW BRISS.E and SPYW IE PATCH.A, then along the bottom of the warning box I get this c:\System Volume Information\_restore {FFC2FDBO-228C-4CAB-A523-3CEBD208EF91}\RP133\Aoo2789.exe that is for the BRISS.E and for the other one (patch) c:\System RP133\Aoo27289.exe. I have tried my best, went on zdnet, download.com, even internet explorer to find a download that will take care of this spyware I have on my computer. I am up to 3 programs for spyware, they are missing it, I have ad-aware6,spybot, A2 start cleaner, along with my trend pc cillin I believe it's called for the software, along with avast. I also have Zdelete, I update all the time and I have run them all and they aren't catching the problem. I am pulling my hair out, I looked on the forums and did the CWShredder which fixed one thing, and also did the hyjack this: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries=

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete

C:\Program Files\LiveUpdate< folder
C:\Program Files\SpyKiller< folder

Reboot normally. Note that I have marked spykiller for removal. It is useless & a rip off of another product. Install Adaware & Spybot S&D, they are both free & better products.
Turn off system restore & Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.
Once done post a new log. When clean, set a new system restore point. Note that all previous restore points will be lost.

Thanks a lot will try that now. I did go into and unchecked the system restore and rechecked, but didn't get a chance to run the spybot yet, Will be doing that right now, thanks again, will keep you posted.

Cool, but don't set a restore point until your system is clean or you will only have to do it again. Need to see another HijackThis log to make sure it's clean.

I tried to open the logs but it is a file type and I can not find what program to open it with, so I just redid another scan. Here is what it says:

I thought it would save all the logs as a notepad, but I guess not, so just did this one (5-4-04) Thanks

That log is clean so you can do a restore point here if you like. Try right clicking on those files & select *open with* & choose notepad. Not really necessary now though.

Thanks a lot Crunchie I appreciated all your help!!!

Cool. Happy to help.
