Hi all, I've installed SpywareGuard, which lets me know if the browser is being hijacked. Everytime suring startup, some program tries to change my registry settings. I;ve run HijackThis, CWShredder, Ad-Aware 6, but they haven't been able to get rid of it. Heres my HT log, could someone help me out with this please ? Thanks !!

Do you recognize this program> C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\_proapsv.exe Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\_mprosrv.exe if not delete it and all it's copies, I can't find anything on it, RUN HIJACK AGAIN: check all the following and then click FIX R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = O8 - Extra context menu item: Web Search - c:\windows\ex.htm

Files\PROGRESS\bin\_proapsv.exe Files\PROGRESS\bin\_mprosrv.exe Is the Progress application Server and _mprosrv.exe is the Progress Database server. I am assuming that you have an application locally that neeed these services. Hope that helps
