as for other issues, I really havent touched my pc since the beginning of this so all I’ve noticed is pop ups. I didn;t know what the issue was and didn’t want to make it worse or what not. So just alot of pop ups and they have slowed tremendously since the beginning of this issue.

The analysis of your HijackThis log seems ok… Although I’m not an expert on it…

Would concur with Tech your log appears clean, the missing lines and files are not a problem as I took a multi-kill approach to them

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Could you also update me on how your system is running now
[/list][/list]

I will do the above but it seems to be good, no pop ups so far. I’ll do the rest but I greatly appreciate all the help for you guys! You rock. thank you so much!!

Can I remove the following from my pc??

smitfraud
winpfind3u
otmoveit
rogueremover
hijackthis

rather what should I remove and what should I keep for future use?

Hijackthis is a useful general tool to keep, it uses no resources (only a little HDD space) unless you are using it.

The others are frequently updated so keeping them may not be as worthwhile as you would want the latest versions of them, though, again they don’t use resources or take up much space.

smitfraud
winpfind3u
otmoveit

No, keep it for future use 8)

The one reason I like OTMoveit
Double click OTMoveIt once again and you should see a CleanUp! button, press that button, you may get prompt by your firewall that OTMoveIt wants to contact internet, allow this, a cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will delete all the tools you have downloaded plus itself

Now to get you off to a good start we will re-set your restore points so that all the bad stuff is gone for good. Then if you need to restore at some stage you will be clean. There are several ways to reset your your restore point but this is my method:

  1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
  2. On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
  3. Click NEXT
  4. Enter a name e.g. Clean
  5. Click CREATE

You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:

  1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
  2. In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
  3. Click OK
  4. The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
  5. Select the More Options Tab.
  6. At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
  7. Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done
