Possible pop ups

I was wondering if someone could look at the HiJack Log for my in-laws computer. It would be greatly appreciated! There computer is an older system but it does the trick. We just need to make it as user friendly as possible. I think they could have some hidden meanies on here.

Thanks
Jen

Ok, I need to know if you had the task manager running when you made the log. There is no reason for it to be running and have it as a start up as it is listed in the 04 section of HJT. That leads me to suspect it's bad.

And that's not such a surprise, as running 9x Windows OS will leave you open to any number of unpatched exploits in the system which will never be patched.

They also have Bear Share, another potential threat. That's two huge security risks right off. Bear Share can be removed, but we can't do anything but upgrade the OS. And it sounds as tho you're not going to do that.

So, unless this machine is used only for checking occasional email, and very limited surfing, it needs to be upgraded. Do not, under any circumstances do any sort of financial work on this machine. Thats my recommendation at least.

Access your Add or Remove Programs Control Panel by hitting your [Start] button, select Control Panel and click on Add or Remove Programs. Then find the following programs and click the [Change|Remove] button for each, if they are listed. If they are not, continue with instructions
BearShare
MyWebSearch



Run HJT, and place a check next to the following lines, then, with all browsers and windows closed, hit 'Fix checked':

Search for, and delete, if found, the following files/folders:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\BEARSHARE<<<<---this folder
C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1<<<<---this folder

Reboot post a new HJT log back into this thread please.

 

Thanks

One day they will get a new computer but as of right now they have yet to get a DVD player. They are slowly entering the 21st century.

OK, that looks good but you didn't answer me about the task manager, if it was running when you made the log. It's been so long I don't remember if it's supposed to be or not.
