Hi Kooji17:

There is a lot of stuff in there to be cleaned, but you really should
download the latest version of HJT (yours is outdated) from
here.

Re-post with an updated logfile.

Kooji,

Ok, let's enlist help to remove some of that:

-----

First, go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

begin2search

-----

Next, download CWShredder from here:

Then unzip it to your desktop, and run it. Check for and download any updates, then click "Fix ->".

-----

Next, download About:Buster from here:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html

Then unzip it to your desktop, and run it. Check for and download any updates, then click "Start".

-----

Download, install and run Adaware SE Perform from here:

Be sure to check for any updates, before you "perform a full system scan".

Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode".

Kooji,

Have HiJackThis fix the following lines, and you should be free to go ...

O2 - BHO: Xbrowse Class - {83DC91DB-7896-43E3-B34D-A7D043F16BB1} - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RDSA\rdsa.dll (file missing)

Check the anti-ad and spyware busting software your currently using, here.

---

Now, for the cleanup...

• Run "Disk Cleanup" and allow it to remove all it finds.
• Go to www.trendmicro.com and click "Free Online Scan". It'll take a few minutes to download and install. When it done, select all available drives, then click "Scan".
• Disable, then re-enable system restore, then immediately create a manual restore point.

Be sure to check all user accounts on the pc for signs of 'problems'.

If your having anymore problems, post back.

Happy surfing,

Mike.
