I'm breaking my rule of ignoring top posters just this once,
you click the box on the left that says "Save Log", go to where you
saved it to, then you can highlight within your text editor, or just
post the log as is, since it's only a text file.

Okay, just got back from work and I still sit with all these crazy pages and
pop-ups. I posted my log this morning on hijack this and I'm now on page 5
and it hasn't been answered. Should I try again or just bring it in to be
fixed?

Just a bit of patience might work well. It is the weekend. The people on
the forums/newsgroups are all volunteers, and they are not paid to answer
any questions, or within any specific time frame. They also have personal
lives the same as you. Well, most..anyway... ;-) Have you checked back to
see if they have answered recently?

What name did you post it under & the topic, I've got the tools to check
everything to get you started, but it won't be until Early Sunday
morning though. Even earlier if I don't set my clock ahead tonight
though

Also the Google toolbar is great for stopping pop-ups. But I wouldn't
install it until your current problem is resolved.
 
I do appreciate any thoughts. I'm under Linda L. I do realise that no one
has to help and they're not
getting paid. That's why I would feel guilty posting a second time. I just
don't think that too many people will read as far as page 5. It seems alot
of people have alot of problems. There's even a newer one on page 1 that
has my same problem with the omegasearch. And I'm going to sleep shortly
anyway, so won't try anything new until tomorrow. Daylight savings time
tonight so it's almost 1 am here.

Well Linda, it looks like you went to bed a bit early. Someone replied
to your post on the hjt forum & the entries look safe to remove.

I did notice a few that you might want to ask them that he didn't
mention but maybe Trend's house call scan will remove it all.

the O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iefeatures] C:\WINDOWS\System32\iefeatures.exe
refers to a trojan called TROJ_POPMON.A Did you ever have a lycos side
bar installed w/o your consent?

The O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files
\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE could be ticked to free up some of
your resources. It is a memory hog.

Did you install the Robo Form program ? Roboform(dotcom)If so ok, if not
I'd uninstall it.
Also, put the Hijack This prog in it's own directory like C:\hjt so it
can create backup files of what's deleted, it can't do that in a temp
dir, & you don't want all that crap on your desktop

I delegated that task to one of my underlings.

Some day maybe I will obtain a presence provider so I
won't have to rely on the binary groups.

Dang! Got me laughing so hard I hit the send button to soon. ;-))

Come now Rafters...surely the diligent 'lil clock watcher is worth their
bowl of Guppies now and then. <g>

Btw..the link didn't work for me...I had to go to the ng and actually
subscribe to see it. Hmmm...now I know where you hide.. ;-)))

We raised Siamese for more than 20 years starting when I was about 3 yo. and
I miss them so. They are really talkers. We had the Chocolate Points.
Can't have one at the time...I live where no pets are allowed...except my
mom's, Beelzebub, and I sure miss having an 'ol talky Blue Eyes. ;-))

Some say it is a trade on the DST...we gain an hour in the spring and lose
an hour in the fall. Me...I'd really rather not trade at all.
Boooooo.....

Geese,
Well, I spent all morning trying to follow all those instructions. As long
as I've been online, which is since '95, I've learned alot, but still I'm
probably very low on the totem pole in knowing the ins and outs of how these
work. The first part was easy. I deleted temp files. I then tried to put
hijack this in it's own file to save. That was tough. I found folders and
created a new one, but had no clue how to move this program. Finally, I
went into the program itself and found something that said, move this
folder, so I did that, but today when I try to find the program, I have to
hit search as it's not where I thought it was.
Then, I went ahead and clicked on everything mentioned and all the
optionals. I thought I read each one carefully, but maybe I checked a wrong
one, as I somehow deleted my Outlook Express, which is why I haven't been
online today. I scanned with that program from housecalls and it found 5
trojans. I dleted the files. I went into hidden files and folders, but
could only find 5 out of 7, so deleted 5.
The end result was good and bad. I lost Outlook Express, everytime I hit
search for the hijack program, a certain program kept installing and I
couldn't get rid of it. I still had the toolbar on the bottom. That one
might be because I couldn't find that hidden file called, "toolbar". I was
still getting some whitebrite pop-up and that annoying "Stop pop-up's" Ad.
I also tried to get into another important program, and couldn't get in
because something wasn't installed. The good was, I got rid of all the
trojans, the computer seemed faster and some of the junk was gone.
Unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. After trying different things,
I just did a restore to April 1. I have my Outlook back, probably all my
trojans, a million pop-ups, and all those icons are back in favorites, on my
start page and on the bottom page.
I have learned a few things and will try again. First, I'm running my
antivirus, then, I'm going to run ad-aware and spy-bot, and that housecalls.
Then, I'll take out a little at a time and post another log.
Thanks for getting back to me. I do use roboform and don't think I could
live without it.

Since you already used your restore point, this won't help you, but
where ever you put the hijack this program, it creates backup files of
what's deleted like this. backup-20040404-095333-484-Microsofft Office,
Type is Application.
Anywho for Next Time go to Windows Explorer, Single Left Click on the C:
\, then at the top above the tool bar single left click on File, then
new, then folder, then type in something like hjt & then download the
hijack this in that Folder.
You also need to in Windwos Explorer Click on Tools, Folder options,
View, & put a check mark in the following under heading Files & Folders
Display the Contents of system folders, & under Hidden files & folders
make sure the Show hidden files & folders has the tick not the do not
show, I'd also untick Hide extensions for known file types, Then click
on Apply to All folders then Yes & then apply & ok, then you'd be able
to see the file named toolbar.
Also, you should go to http://grc.com/freepopular.htm & get the
following:
Shoot The Messenger disables Windows Messenger ports Not MSN messenger
UnPlug n' Pray, DCOMbobulator, XPdite if you aren't using XP's service
pack 1, SocketLock, & SocketToMe. Those Files will help close up
certain items & I have installed all of them. Very small, but powerful
tools.

Here's a tip - if your feet get cold at night, cut the top off of
your blanket and sew it onto the bottom so that it covers
your feet.
