Hi:
Please refer to http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/8792.html
I have the same problems as Chris and I have downloaded Ad-aware and updated the resource file, I actually followed Abnormal's advice in Response Number 6. When I reboot my computer, ad-aware started scanning automatically and found no new object. I was real happy and when the window started, the annoying bbb.exe and winfavorites errors are back again and I had ad-aware rescan the whole thing and it found more new objects. This is really frustrating and can anyone help me? Thank you sooooo much!Grace

You need to runSpybot Search & Destroy also. Set it for indepht scan. Sounds like a hijack. You'll also needspywareblaster and Browser Hijack Blaster for safe surfing afterwards. Don't forget a good firewall either. ( even with dial-up ).
Another note Always clear temp files before
closing browser, and set cookies to Block 1st. and 3rd. party cookies. If you need a cookie, type the site into widow under edit button and click allow. Frank

winfavorites was part of the Download.Trojan virus. It connects to the Internet to bring you more bugs.
Norton Anti-virus will delete it.
You have to disable your system resore to flush out any bugs that are hiding in there.If you need a firewall, a good free one is Zonealarm from www.zonelabs.com
This will stop many bugs from getting onto your machine.

Hi Frank:
I got Spybot Search & Destroy and it seemed to have deleted the "common Name" folder, and I also got Spyware but the trojan virus (bbb.exe, winfavroites.ext) still keeps on popping out from the Mcafee Virus Scan window. Now my question is: How do I keep those virus from installing to the "temp" and "temporary internet files"? Thanks
Grace

Every website you visit leaves traces in temp folders. The viruses seemto kick in after closing your browser. I always delete My cookis and Temp IE files before closing the browser. Tools, Internet Options, delete files, delete cookies, and I delete history.
Actually, that's past tense, because I bought HistoryKill which will overwrite those files lotsss of times.
I've seen McAfee, and AVG pop-up with virus in both temp files, " unable to delete or Quarentine Virus". Did a kill,overwrite, hit back button, killed again. Virus scan comes up clean afterwards.
There may be free, better alteratives to HK, both I like it.
PS: on re-direct to Cool Search or alfa, I also have POW from analogx (free), Add that site to it's list, can't get to it again after that. When using POW, pay attention to upper L. corner of browser window to see which site you kill. Try not to kill IE. You can recover it same way you kill it, with double L. click, click done.
Don't click anything on any of the alfa, cool sites AT ALL.Kill them, hit back button, clear files. I've seen a lot of them without a HiJack.
Get SpywareBlaster NOW. free.
Frank

Thanks, Frank. but I cleaned all the temp files and cookies before I reboot, when the computer started again, it just save the bbb.exe files to my temp folders again before I open the browser.

Thank you Soooo much for your time, Abnormal! No more trojan virus are popping up on my screen. Except that I couldn't find C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll after the reboot.
Here is the new log:

Hi Abnormal:

But no more trojan virus popped up on my screen, so I ASSUME my computer is OK. Here is the new log:
