Okay, so here is my story, I spent about 10 hours today trying to remove spyware and such from my computer. I had a problem with my browser being hijacked, an extra winlogon.exe file and tons of other problems that suddenly started. anyway I think I have them all cleaned out. I ran hijack this and here is the log, if anyone could tell me if this looks clean I would appreciate it.

Hello Zane, If you want to rid off of cookie's spywares, you need to download theses two freewares: 1) AdAware 6.0/181 2) SpywareBlaster 2.61 perform an update as soon as you downloaded them in order to get the most recents spywares signatures... Good luck...

Hi zane, looks like you did a good cleaning up. These two, not much info about them. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Reminder] "C:\Windows\Creator\Remind_XP.exe" Remind_XP.exe Probably a registration reminder - but what for? Found in a C:\Windows\Creator directory Hope that helps, and also get SpywareBlaster. abnormal
