Bloatware from AIM 6.1

I dont think an HJT log is needed.

DIALER_PLAYGAMES
ADWARE_ADCLICKER
ADWARE_INET
TSPY_DUMADOR
ADWARE_MEMWATCHER
TSPY_SMALL
TSPY_MOSUCKER

How can I remove that stuff?

 

Here is how we like to begin our analysis of your pc:

For starters, if you do not have them yet, please DL and run AdAware & Spybot Search & Destroy. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy are 2 of the most trusted apps in the security area. They are both free, compliment each other nicely, and do not use a lot of resources. They can be found here:

Spybot Search & Destroy v.1.4
AdAware SE Free v1.06r

With AdAware and Spybot: DL, follow the install instructions, check for updates, then scan, repair/remove/quarantine anything found. Reboot before next scan with whichever app is next. The reason for running these apps, is to clean up some of the other 'crapware' on your pc, which, in turn, will make deciphering your HJT log, easier.

Then we use HiJackThis v1.99.1
Please download HijackThis! SetUp from here. Save the file to your desktop.

Double-click the HijackThis! SetUp icon to begin the installation. Follow the prompts for the default install location of:'C:\Program Files\HijackThis'. Tick the 'Create a desktop' button when the option appears. Select next, then allow HijackThis! to start.

Then press the [Scan] button. You will notice the [Scan] button will turn into a [Save Log] button. Click the [Save Log] button and notepad will open up with the contents of the scan. Right-click in the saved log, and select 'copy'. Then proceed to your original thread, unless otherwise instructed and click the '[Reply]' button and paste the saved contents to be reviewed. Do not make any modifications to the log or perform any 'fixes' until told to do so.

I ran the other programs before I came here.


I know TeMerc hates AIM 6.1
I want to keep it on my system but take off all of the bloat/crapware that came with it.

plus check for any other issues with my computer

I really don't want to download AVG Trial junk, its prolly expired by now

 

What application is telling you that these infections are on your machine? Nothing in your log indicates a problem of any sort.

I don't hate it at all, I use Trillian or if I have to use the actual AIM client, I use AIM Ad Hack as Tony suggested.

 

Trend Micro free online housecall spyware scan - it lists the infections but does not seem to have a removal procedure

TeMerc -

Geri sent me this private message when he had a look at my log

I don't see any malware, but, These you can get rid using HJT, unless you use them.
I would follow TeMerc's instructions, he has been doing this longer then I have.

O3 - Toolbar: StylerToolBar - {D2F8F919-690B-4EA2-9FA7-A203D1E04F75} - C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\StylerTB.dll <<I would remove unless you use this site.
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.themexp.org <<Site advisor has it listed with bad downloads
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.themexp.org
O16 - DPF: {463ED66E-431B-11D2-ADB0-0080C83DA4EB} (AcceptWM Class) - https://w3s.webmoney.ru/WMAcceptor.dll <<Don't know what this is, it's not in English.

So I guess I will stick with Temerc knowledge, just informing on what Geri found

 

OK, can you please give me the location of these infections, such as file path?

If you didn't install the styler toolbar, then uninstall it. As it comes up as a legit application, I left it. You can also fix those other items as well, not major threats, but fixable.

I was really concentrating on the other stuff which on its face is far more concerning. But we need to see where they are located.
