Okay so not long ago my computer got infected with the Mysearchnow toolbars. What a bugger it was.After running the latest versions of Adaware, Spybot search and destroy, along with many other recomendations on how to rid myself of the beast, I could never fully remove the thing.. I eventually ended up reformating, and updating my OS from win98 to win2000pro. I ended up getting the damn mysearchnow bar again.. So after doing using the usual recomended tool (yes the latest versions, as well us updating virus checkers,microsoft updates,raising security levels,ect) I managed to get rid of the thing again, but I can still see reminants of it leftover on my system.. So,even tho I hate asking for help, here I am hoping someone can help me out with this hijackthis log.It seems like my last resort, and maybe someone can see something else that may be hindering my system .
