[ghost2003]

Copy paste it here so we can see it. Run the program, press scan, it will show you lots of stuff, press save log, that will open notpad, copy/paste the contents here.

run highjack this again.

copy and paste the whole log here please

[ghost2003]

Yes, we need the whole log to really see the problem. It might also find others. Also, uncheck "Automatically parse URLs" when you post so it doesnt put "..." in the middle of the adresses.

[JasonChaplin]

This what you want????

Also is there any otheres that should be gone????

Download AdAware 6 181 from here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
Then ........

Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

Then......

Click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

Then.........

Go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

Then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

When scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu)

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de

After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.
Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED

let mje know if that helps

[lostplanet]

Try http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/
goto ad-aware 6 personal forum and read the sticky post about posting your logfile
they will guide you thru the removal process and are very helpful

Try clicking the search bar and going to the site. See if they have any uninstall options. My kid had this and I found it in the uninstall menu but was after I went to the site to find out what it was.

been to the site where abouts did you remove it??? carnt find it anywhere!

[ghost2003]

some other software, spyware blaster and spyware guard. www.javacoolsoftware.com
Dont see how it could survive adaware, spybot and those 2.

[Blue_Gundam2002]

I know this is a long shot but doesn't real player load popups sometimes? Maybe this is connected with it. Try turning of realplayer.
