3. The instruction in the ""0x0147b7b3" made reference To memory in

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

AcroIEhelper.dll (with an "eye" character) is for Adobe Acrobat.
AcrolEhelper.dll (with an "ell character) is malware. How do I know?
Because the a-hole that wrote it wants you to confuse a lower-case ell
character ("l") with an uppercase non-xxx eye character ("I") with each
other. It helps to use serif characters to see the difference. It doesn't
take much of a Google search on "comet.dll" to turn up articles about the
spyware. So what anti-malware programs have you used so far to disinfect
your system?
 
Thank you for the answer.

I use a McAfee Bundle (Antivirus, Antihacker,Antiabuse and AntiSpam).

Can you help me ?

Best regards

Again, what anti-malware products have you already tried? Some of the
freebies available are:

Ad-Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Microsoft Antispyware

You might also want to try other anti-virus scanners to see if the one you
use is missing the malware. Several anti-virus vendors provide online
scanners (they scan and detect but don't remove the infection), like:

Symantec
McAfee
Trend Micro
Pest Patrol

If it is running as a brower help object (BHO) in Internet Explorer, you
could also try deleting the add-in or using a tool to do it:

Internet Options -> Programs -> Manager Add-ons
BHO Cop

A Google search on "comet.dll" also lists info on getting rid of the pest.
