sum times it carry sum dirty pictuers..
if windows XP or win 98 the type "Msconfig" in RUN box and in "STARTUP" section , uncheck all unwanted stuff (only keep antivirus and regscan checked).
It's spyware.Download Ad-Aware and run a full system scan.
buddy, there isnt a viable 'some other solution'.
Use some good anti-spyware softwares like 'Spy-Bot' or 'Ad-Aware' (as suggested by dIgItaL_BrAt) to get rid of the problems.
Atleast use the 'System Mechanic 6' provided in the February 2006 CD. (That should solve most of the problem).
You could use Opera which comes with inbuilt pop-up blocker.
Do not run Hijack This from a temporary folder. HJT makes backups for items that are fixed. Any backups saved in a temporary folder run the risk of being deleted. Backups are important in case a previous fix needs to be restored. It's best to make a permanent folder: C:\HJT this for example. Any place other than a temporary folder is fine.
If you have your own anti-virus program, please update it and do a complete scan.
Housecall often finds things that popular AV programs miss.
Select your location and click go. If you have never used Trend Micro's online scanner before, you will have to install their active X component. After that is finished installing, the update engine and pattern file will begin downloading. If you are on a dialup connection, this will take several minutes but it's well worth the wait.
Check 'Auto Clean' and 'My computer' and click 'Scan'.
Install and update both. Reboot into Safe Mode and use one then reboot again into safe mode and run the other.
If the folders for any of the above programs are still present, remove those as well. If you're not sure about a particular folder, ask about it in your post. More programs will be added in the future. Some programs on the list may not be removable via Add/Remove programs. Click on a specific entry for manual removal instructions or programs that will detect and remove these.
A partial search query generally works best: 'Bon' or 'Bud' will return Bonzi Buddy, for example. A full list can be viewed at this sight as well as different categories of adware/spyware/malware.
If the particular problem that prompted you to post a log goes away after following the above steps, please post a fresh log anyway. Sometimes a problem will return after a reboot if it was not removed successfully. Once it has been determined your system is clean, additional follow-up steps will be given. It is important to follow any steps given to ensure a good 'fix'.
After posting your log, someone will analyze it as soon as possible and give you further instructions.
Please be patient. The analysis can sometimes take awhile. The time will depend on the amount of spyware/malware which is on your system. Hopefully the above steps will fix most, if not all, of the problems.
This is an adware. So, your best alternative is to install and use Ad-Aware.
U have dailer....Try to remove it using Microsoft antispyware...What i feel is better reinstall the os b'coz cleaning like these program will never give a 100% solution.And to avoid these better install the protection software.Prevention is better than cure know???.
Yes I totally agree. These softwares will not give you 100% results. So reinstalling is the best option.
use spysweeper. its the best one.
look,spysweeper and spyware doctor are better than ad-aware,but ad-aware is easy to use and effective,i would also suggest ad-aware..
