backup

i ran norton antivirus and it found adware.raxums and adware.mainstream. i followed instructions to get rid of these things but it didnt work. so i think i need to delete things from the registry editor, but i dont want to screw up the way the computer works by deleting the wrong things, so i need to backup the registry. when i go to  start-programs- accessories- system tools theres supposed to be a thing called backup. but its not. so anyway,

why does this backup thing not exist on my computer?

how does one go about getting rid of adware.raxums and/or adware.mainstream?

(sorry i dont know how to talk computers also)

    The new freeware Spybot 1.3 has a backup feature for the registry.

    http://www.safer-networking.org/   (Download link on Left column)

    For your issues I recommend:

    We need you to download and install an analysis and repair tool called Hijackthis.

    Go here and download the file: http://tomcoyote.com/hjt

    Please unzip Hijackthis.zip into a new folder you create in the root (first) level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results. (don't unzip it into a temp folder or run the file from a temp folder, or the Windows Desktop, etc...as it needs a safe folder to keep backup logs). Also when people post here and place it on the Desktop 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. *;-)

    See my entire Hijackthis FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at:

    http://russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm

    After downloading, and unzipping the hijackthis file into a safe folder you create (preferably a folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive)...run Hijackthis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button.

    Copy and paste the contents of the text file you save into a reply to this message. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste at http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt

    Special Notice! Hijackthis is a powerful tool that edits the brains of Windows (the Registry). DO NOT FIX anything in the Hijackthis log screen without assistance from the experts! Most of the line items in the scanned log are normal for Windows operation. Hijackthis should identify the vast majority of your problems and enable us to help you clean them off your system.


    Stay in this thread for continuity. Reply to this message.


    HTH (Hope that Helps)

    A little worse than just adware:

    HomeOldSP CWS fix: (indicated by this entry in Hijackthis):
