Popup ads attacking my desktop.. HJT Log PLease Check
This morning was getting attacked by spyware junk. Here are the list of programs I am using. I have windows xp.
Adaware 6.0, spybot search and destroy, Oops popup blocker, avast4 virus program which killed some viruses I got earlier today and I downloaded webroot window washer , which is only a 30 day trial then I try something else in place and it really cleaned up and freed up my memory as what every ads landing on my desktop sucked it up and couldnt even get in my browser. Working better but still a few bugs hiding so just need to see what needs to be deleted out so here is my hijack log.
Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.0
Scan saved at 8:08:00 PM, on 7/7/2004
Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)
I also go to housecall at trend micro and run virus check there as well.
I do updates all the time and I also had to reload my windows xp and so I do still have some critical updates to windows to finish downloading.
Turned off messenger in windows. Had to reset it a few times then it finally stop.. But for about four hours now I have not had any junk landing on my desktop.
Seems like every three weeks I go through this. IE browse gotta go.
I rid of my outlook express email and now using thunderbird email. Much better. Controls more of the junk.
Soon be switching to mozilla, as hear that is better. I was told to lose IE browser was in some view that has to many bugs and Microsoft is not fixing there windows stuff. Well, enough of this .
I think there still a few bugs that need tweaked out so highlight it in red so I know which one to delete, or different marking so I know. I will get confused.
Thanks.. Sandy
