Pop-Up/Connect Problems

I have no idea of what my son has downloaded, but no matter what I do, I cannot get rid of pop-ups; moreover, the internet periodically turns itself off and I cannot re-connect.  I have installed Windows XP SP2, a trial version of McAfee Anti-Spy, and Ad-Adware SE Personal (as recommended by MS) - things are detected & removed, but I still have the problem.  I do not want to randomly go to anti-spy websites downloading stuff I know nothing about - how do I know they are legit??  Is the anti-spy stuff from McAfee or any other reputable company worth the $19.95 or $29.95?  I want to get rid of whatever I have NOW, not stop new infections!!  HELP!!!

    Before we do anything can you do a couple things first?
    Go to this sight http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/enterprise.htm and do an online scan and delete whatever it finds. Be sure to highlight the drives you want to have searched.

    After that go to http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html and download SpyBot and run that and delete what it finds.


    Now go to http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html and download HiJackThis to its own folder that you create on your C:/ drive.
    After it is downloaded open the program and click on the Scan and save to log button.
    Post the log that it generates right here so that it maybe viewed and analyzed for problems.

    Thanks

    The virus scan you suggested in step 1 found a trojan; Spy-bot found 11 items:  1 Doubleclick; 2 Advertising.com; 1 Avenue A Inc; 5 DSO Exploit; 2 Terminexor.  I used the Ad-Aware earlier today, but not since I have been following your directions - should I have done that too?  --V

    I know it's a haul but it is necessary to see what is really going on in your system. Did the AdAwareSE and SpyBot find alot?

    Your log will be analyzed soon.

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    After you check them, close all windows, especialy broswers and hit the fix button.

    Now use Windows Explorer to find and delete if still present:
    C:\WINDOWS\ZServ.dll



    Reboot and post a new log.

    I don't know how to do this step:

    Now use Windows Explorer to find and delete if still present:
    C:\WINDOWS\ZServ.dll

    (sorry)  --V

    V from CA,

    When you go to the www.trendmicro.com page, click on "Free Online Scan", click "Scan Now, It's Free!", then select your location and click "Go".



    Run HiJackThis and click " Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/sb/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/sp/*http://www.yahoo.com
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/sb/ymsgr6/*http://www.yahoo.com/ext/search/search.html

    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ie/defaults/stp/ymsgr6/*http://www.yahoo.com

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/su/*http://www.yahoo.com

    O2 - BHO: TGTSoft Explorer Toolbar Changer - {C333CF63-767F-4831-94AC-E683D962C63C} - (no file)

    O3 - Toolbar: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Companion\Installs\cpn0\ycomp5_5_7_0.dll (file missing)

    O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?

    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
    (Unless you've set these with a anti-spyware program like SpyBot's Immunize feature, have HiJackThis fix this.)

    Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click " Fix checked".

    -

    Reboot your computer.



    Post back a new log.

    Mike.

    V from CA,

    Also, check your Add/Remove programs for the following:

    SideSearch

    ...and try to remove(uninstall) it from there.

    -

    While your in there, post back anything with 'search' in the entry, along with anything you don't imnmediately recognize.

    Thanks,

    Mike.

    Mike - Thanks for getting involved with this - I certainly appreciate you guys.  I am just now getting the hang of how to write these messages! 

    I haven't done the first part of what you asked, but I did look in Add/Remove Programs and found : "Search assistance - My Search" - is that something installed by MS and is supposed to be there?  What is it?  --V
