a little help. here is my log

Run hijackthis in safe mode. Also I reccomend trying Avast to, its not specifically for spyware but Its been known to find some Spyware/adaware.

Im gonna turn this into a IE Vs Firefox thread because, Ill bet you .01 cent that this would not happen if you had firefox.

I have my security level on IE on custom. -- prompt for all cookies, prompt for all active x (I always deny unless I expect something like flash at a site I might trust), and all popups block (except for my trusted sites).


Please put $0.01 in my paypal account.

but.... since most all of you seem to insist so much, I'll try and use Firefox, but do I need to set any settings for security?

Hi and Welcome to TF

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run the following tools. Download and update the databases on each program before running.

• Ad-Aware® SE Personal Edition
  *Note* For Ad-AwareSE also install the VX2 Addon Cleaner To run this tool once Adaware is updated click on Add-ons in the lefthand column. Select VX2 Cleaner V2.0 and click Run Tool. Click "OK" , then, if something is found, click "Clean" as in the directions given. Click "Close", and exit Ad-Aware.
  
• Spybot Search & Destroy
• CWShredder

Also make sure you are using the the latest version (1.99.1) of HijackThis and it's installed in it's own folder on the root drive. (C:\HJT)

Once you complete those steps..please update hijackthis and post a new log.
