With no other windows open click on fix checked button in Hijackthis.
Exit Hijackthis.
Download and run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first.
Most of the Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:
1. Latest version 2. Configured correctly for running options 3. New definitions from update feature
Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.
Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.
Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.
I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).
Run Disk Cleanup: type cleanmgr at Start/Run. Scan all hard drives and check all categories at the end and click OK.
If you have any problems with Disk Cleanup completing...XP users can fix it here:
Reboot a final time, browse a bit, exit IE 6, and then run Hijackthis and post a new log.

You look clean and hearty congratulations! Now to stay that way:
Cleanup Programs and Preventative Procedures
(the four free programs in Items 2, 3, and 4 bolded below are a MUST in my opinion)
1. Spybot Search&Destroy, Ad-aware Run weekly - or after a heavy internet session. Download at the following link.
Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.
Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...
go slow on the directions for the custom setup of Adaware and print it out as a hard copy. It will take five minutes to set up the custom scanning options for Adaware, but it's worth it as these settings will be retained and you won't have to re-enter them again.
Please
note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.
I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).
Reboot and click on Start/Run/ type:
cleanmgr
If you have problems with Disk Cleanup hanging and not completing see this page for XP users:
From MS Help: "
Disk Cleanup helps free up space on your hard drive. Disk Cleanup searches your drive, and then shows you temporary files, Internet cache files, and unnecessary program files that you can safely delete. You can direct Disk Cleanup to delete some or all of those files."
I check all the selected categories and click OK at the end of Disk Cleanup.
If you have any problems with Disk Cleaner completing...XP users can fix it here:
2. Proactive programs: Spywareblaster & Spywareguard, first sets kill bits to stop known bad MSIE ActiveX scripts from installing, second acts like your AV to stop browser hijacks and installing of known baddies.
3. IE-Spyad, puts 4000 bad sites in your restricted (banned) sites list, to stop you accidentally getting sent to a bad site, it has optional list of "bad" adult sites to install as well.
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that prevents your computer from connecting to hostile sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer. This is an easy way to prevent one of the most common hijackings computer users will face on the Internet! Do it now.
5. Don't forget keeping Windows updated. The automatic updates frequently fail so run it manually once a week or when new updates are publicized.
You can also start Windows Update by running Internet Explorer, pulling down
Tools on top Menu bar and selecting
Windows Update. Install ALL critical updates! Always!
If LiveUpdate fails (and it is prone to on MANY machines) download each patch manually from the MS advisory pages and install manually. Works for me!
6. Keep your antivirus updated.
Free AVG Antivirus for home users:
http://www.grisoft.com
7. Beg, borrow, or buy a Software Firewall if at all possible. I use Norton Internet Security 2004 and it has saved my bacon more times than I can count. For a free software firewall turn on the fairly lame firewall in Windows XP (I say it is lame because it does not monitor or block outgoing traffic...only incoming...a serious omission if the threat occurs inside your network). Hopefully with the upcoming Service Pack 2 this flaw will be addressed.
8. Practice safe computer habits. Don't click on strange email attachments thinking your AV will defend you. Usually it will. Sometimes it won't when a new virus hits the Net and definitions take hours to create by the AV vendors. There is only one defense that works 100% for the safe protection of your machine's personal data and that is timely and accurate backups of your files. Hard drives die, viruses ruin your files, and other bad things can happen (fire, theft, etc..). Offsite backups are the best.
9. Don't forget our great analysis tool Hijackthis. We have a lot of gratitude we need to show towards the author Merijn. I hope he does great things in his future endeavors and is richly rewarded for his time and expertise in providing this super program.
Hijackthis (to analyse your system and submit a log file to expert forums):
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt
(for Hijackthis logs...please copy to and run Hijackthis.exe into a new folder you create in the root level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results). (don't put in a Local Settings Temp folder, or the Windows desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when XP and W2K users post here and place it in the Local Settings, the log usually shows their full name since their Windows user profile is commonly named with their full name. We try not to disturb your privacy. *;-)

Thanks for the help and advice. Please let me know if my HJT folder is safe now. I don't see my name in a temp folder, so hopefully I did it right this time. Prior to the HJT advice, I had followed procedures for Spybot and Adaware...seems to have fixed the annoyance as the pop up has disappeared but only after a few reboots, so I wanted to follow through with HJT for extra assurance. Thanks again for your time and talent. Please let me know if my HJT folder is safe...seems like an ominous thing to have on my computer, only because I am somewhat of a "newbie"!! Take care and keep up the good work.

You look clean and hearty congratulations! Now to stay that way:
Cleanup Programs and Preventative Procedures
(the four free programs in Items 2, 3, and 4 bolded below are a MUST in my opinion)
1. Spybot Search&Destroy, Ad-aware Run weekly - or after a heavy internet session. Download at the following link.
Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.
Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware... go slow on the directions for the custom setup of Adaware and print it out as a hard copy. It will take five minutes to set up the custom scanning options for Adaware, but it's worth it as these settings will be retained and you won't have to re-enter them again.
http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html
Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.
I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).
Reboot and click on Start/Run/ type: cleanmgr
If you have problems with Disk Cleanup hanging and not completing see this page for XP users:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248
Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm
From MS Help: " Disk Cleanup helps free up space on your hard drive. Disk Cleanup searches your drive, and then shows you temporary files, Internet cache files, and unnecessary program files that you can safely delete. You can direct Disk Cleanup to delete some or all of those files."
I check all the selected categories and click OK at the end of Disk Cleanup.
If you have any problems with Disk Cleaner completing...XP users can fix it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248
Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm
2. Proactive programs: Spywareblaster & Spywareguard, first sets kill bits to stop known bad MSIE ActiveX scripts from installing, second acts like your AV to stop browser hijacks and installing of known baddies.
3. IE-Spyad, puts 4000 bad sites in your restricted (banned) sites list, to stop you accidentally getting sent to a bad site, it has optional list of "bad" adult sites to install as well.
Links for these at: http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/compsafetyonline.html
4. MVPS Hosts file at: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that prevents your computer from connecting to hostile sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer. This is an easy way to prevent one of the most common hijackings computer users will face on the Internet! Do it now.
5. Don't forget keeping Windows updated. The automatic updates frequently fail so run it manually once a week or when new updates are publicized.
Windows Live Update Page
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
Free Windows Security CD (for those who qualify):
www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp
You can also start Windows Update by running Internet Explorer, pulling down Tools on top Menu bar and selecting Windows Update. Install ALL critical updates! Always!
If LiveUpdate fails (and it is prone to on MANY machines) download each patch manually from the MS advisory pages and install manually. Works for me!
6. Keep your antivirus updated.
Free AVG Antivirus for home users: http://www.grisoft.com
7. Beg, borrow, or buy a Software Firewall if at all possible. I use Norton Internet Security 2004 and it has saved my bacon more times than I can count. For a free software firewall turn on the fairly lame firewall in Windows XP (I say it is lame because it does not monitor or block outgoing traffic...only incoming...a serious omission if the threat occurs inside your network). Hopefully with the upcoming Service Pack 2 this flaw will be addressed.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/5min/5min-101.mspx#XSLTsection125121120120
A better choice for now for a free software firewall is Zone Alarm.

8. Practice safe computer habits. Don't click on strange email attachments thinking your AV will defend you. Usually it will. Sometimes it won't when a new virus hits the Net and definitions take hours to create by the AV vendors. There is only one defense that works 100% for the safe protection of your machine's personal data and that is timely and accurate backups of your files. Hard drives die, viruses ruin your files, and other bad things can happen (fire, theft, etc..). Offsite backups are the best.
9. Don't forget our great analysis tool Hijackthis. We have a lot of gratitude we need to show towards the author Merijn. I hope he does great things in his future endeavors and is richly rewarded for his time and expertise in providing this super program.
Hijackthis (to analyse your system and submit a log file to expert forums):
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt
(for Hijackthis logs...please copy to and run Hijackthis.exe into a new folder you create in the root level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results). (don't put in a Local Settings Temp folder, or the Windows desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when XP and W2K users post here and place it in the Local Settings, the log usually shows their full name since their Windows user profile is commonly named with their full name. We try not to disturb your privacy. *;-)
