I have been having trouble getting an internet connection with internet explorer on my dsl. My computer has been freezing and acting weird like getting pop ups that have the microsoft sybol in the corner. I ran my AVG, spybot, spyblaster, adaware, cws shredder and had my McAfee firewall all up to date. When I went into msconfig I had weird things in there so I unchecked them, some took a few times. When I hit ctrl,alt,delete I have Iexplore, sometimes I can get rid of it and sometimes I get 2 of them show up. Any help would be appreciated.

try this On-line Spyware Scan
and remove all that it findsHopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

When waiting for a reply I ran x-cleaner it found over pro and bonzi and I deleted it. I turned off system restore and ran in safe mode spybot,cws,spyware blaster,adaware. I tried running trend micro spyware and it kept freezing on c:\restore\temp. I turned on system restore and froze so bad that scan disc didn't run. I reset the bios and got back on. I did hijack this and analized it and came up with alot of unknown on pogo.com. I play those games all the time. Then it showed aol toolbar, motmon and BHO as threats. It also showed no firewall but I have McAfee running. I'm lost.

I'm not sure about win ME, but in 98se I know you can do a scanreg /restore, is that option available with ME? If so, try it and you should get back on track.
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Yes, I have restore but I purged my restore and created another restore point after trying to get rid of what ever I have. Things are running alittle better no more Iexplore, but I know I still have something on there. According to HJT I think I need to delete 3 things but I am not experienced on this. BHO no name I think is one of them. I really don't know what else to do. I kkep reading posts.
Lisa

I'm not sure you understood my post. scanreg /restore is done by booting into safe mode and selecting command prompt. Then typing it in.

I guess I didn't understand. Never did that before. I can try it but I really don't know when I got this bug. I'm thinking it was a long time ago. When I had to switch dsl providers It took me 10 times to get connected, since I got rid of Iexplore I get on right away. Thinking maybe I had the problem for weeks. I ran all protective programs today. So my system is as clean as I can get it. How do I do scanreg/restore? Will it change anything I have done on the computer?
Lisa

If scanreg /restore will work on your PC, all your programs will stay in tact, it will just restore the registry. If tou try it and it says wrong command, it won't work for you. Notice the space between scanreg and /
That is important.Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

When I go into safe mode and type it in, it states Running a ms dos program in safe mode could cause video problems or other problems.
Lisa

Then I would pass on it

I did Spyblaster, spybot, adaware, cws shredder, spyware guard, spyware guide, avast, checked my McAfee firewall everything was running fine. Then all of a sudden this pop up that has a window icon on the left said media click( I think, I closed right away) came up and locked up my system. I got back on and went into msconfig and the same 2 entries that messed me up before was in there.
Stop inside registry(per-user run)c:\windows\profiles\gloryb~1\applic~1\intere~1\dupe army five.exe andItch bias mp3 burn registry (machine run)
c:\windows\all users\application data\test style itch bias\bait32.exeAnd in ctrl, alt, delete the Iexplore was back twice.
Now I know my husband burns things with a program. I don't know if this is related to the mp3 burn one. When trying to get on this site an explore page went in my toolbar and it said hollwood.com and it was hard to get rid of. Something still must be lurking on my computer and when that windows pop up comes up I get the Iexplore back.
Lisa

After 10 pop ups and freezing, trying to get on this site and trying to do research I deleted those 2 files, and I'm still getting the pop ups, now it was zedo.I don't know what to do anymore. Thinking maybe just to redo my hard drive. None of these programs picked any of this up.
Lisa

Hi Lisa, do you have messenger plus
installed?It looks like you have lop spyware sponsor, it uses the goofy file names.

I will post this anyway, because info is
power against crapware.

After my last post I did alot of reading and think I do have adware lop. I did remove a couple things from the sites posted but affraid to do to much. Also when I deleted the folders they did come back. I went into regedit and noticed I have 2 runs, one with a line next to it and it has these corrupt files. I was affraid to delete without help.
