Hi ChrisRLG,

I followed your suggestions, but new zestyfind pop-up windows still come up when I open Internet Explorer. I have included the new HijackThis logfile below -- please could you tell me how to solve this pesky problem?

Thanks,

AmiMunna

Please post back with a new hijackthis log when done.

Hi there!

I downloaded and ran MagicFix as you suggested. Rebooting and then repoening my browser did not bring up any new pop-up windows, so I think it worked! Anyway, here's my most recent HijackThis logfile -- please let me know whether I've managed to get rid of zestyfind once and for all!

Thanks so much for all the help,

AmiMunna

Unfortunatly zestfind and a few others are ones that don't show up in hijackthis logs. It is only when the user mentions it (and the helper notices) that we can advise the fix. We do have others, Sorry to hijackthis thread but this message needs to go out plain for this fix - or it could do harm on other systems. 

PLEASE NO ONE SHOULD COPY THAT FIX FOR THEMSELFS IT IS ONLY FOR THE ONE OPERATING SYSTEM. NEVER COPY FIXES GIVEN FOR OTHERS

Back to yours.
--------------------------------------
This is my normal post for when you are clear - which you now are:-
------------------------
How on earth did I get infected with all that spyware in the first place? http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=38;t=3051
Also available from here :- http://www.computercops.biz/postlite7736-.html or http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957
--------------
Look at the info on my website regarding malware (Link below). Some things you can do to stop getting infected again:-

Spybot s&d, Ad-aware Run weekly - or after a heavy internet session.

Spywareblaster & Spywareguard, first sets kill bits to stop known bad activeX controls installing, second acts like your AV to stop browser hijacks and installing of known badies.

Also ie-spyad (Link on my site), puts 4000 bad sites in your restricted (banned) sites list, to stop you accidentaly getting sent to a bad site, it has optional list of "bad" adult sites to install as well.

All those with links from my site. Do remember just like Anti-Virus they need to be updated regularly, I do mine weekly, Anti-Virus hourly.

With these and a firewall in place I have to try various bad sites when checking peoples hijackthis logs looking to sort bad from good, and I have not yet been infected. Still time for it to happen LOL.
