I have a desktop computer that pops up with Internet explorer with spam websites. It also automatically closes the internet window when I try to go to AVG website or certain pages when I search for AVG. It also would not even let me view this forum topic. I have ran avast and ad aware antivirus and the virus is still there. Are there any other free antivirus programs that work or do you have a recommendation for a progam to take care of this problem.
Thank You for your help

You could try renaming the hosts file and see if that lets you get to the AVG site. You can scroll down this page to find instructions for that:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsfaq.htm#Editor
If you can get to the kaspersky site, you can run their online scan:
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
This will not fix anything, but it may give you more specific information about malware on your system.
You can look through the fourth sticky above for other online scans and information about posting a HijackThis log.
Regards.

unknown tool bars are infested with spyware i had the same problem you are having and i got rid of all tool bars and never had the problem again they also have trojan downloaders and sometimes keyloggers so if you downloaded something and it came with a tool bar delete the tool bar this should help if not send in a hijack this log in

Heres a megaupload.com link to the file. I renamed the file to "Can't Be 'jacked" because some virus/spyware/etc. programs wont let any program named HijackThis! run. So download run it and past the log back.

It sounds like a spyware program you have is refusing to let it run. I think I named it "Can't Be Hijacked" try renaming it to something without the word hijack it it, like ABC or Cat, anything and then see if it will run.

Go Here:
http://www.oldapps.com/old_version_HijackThis.php
Download version 1.98.2
after you have scanned with it, click the config button in the lower right, and then you will see a screen that has a save log choice on it. Save the log and then post it in this thread.

Using an older version of HijackThis is not a very good idea because it will "miss" things.
Please reboot into Safe Mode:
* Reboot your computer.
* When you hear your computer "beep" and display its information, keep tapping the F8 key. Some systems display an error if this is done too soon; if this happens then try again.
* The Advanced Options menu will display; select Safe Mode (not Safe Mode with Networking) withe the arrow keys and press Enter.
* Log in as you normally would.
* Try to run HijackThis v1.99.1 in Safe Mode and save a logfile. It will not be as detailed as the scan run in Normal Mode, but it will do.
* Reboot into Normal mode and post that logfile. It will be in wherever you saved HijackThis (for example, if HijackThis was in C:\HJT, the logfile would be at C:\HJT\hijackthis.log).
Next, please go here and download Deckard's System Scanner. Note: This program is meant for Windows 2000 and higher (including Vista) only! Save the file to your desktop, and double-click it to run it. Press "OK" and let the scanner do its work. It may appear to freeze or hang your computer; this is normal, so let the scanner do its work. It usually will not take too long. When the scan is finished, it shall make two logs for you - one will be called "main" and the other, "extra". "main" will be maximized and "extra" will be minimized. Post both logfiles (as in copy and paste) in a reply.
Finally, please download Combofix: http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
and save to the desktop.
1. Double click on combo.exe & follow the prompts.
2. When finished, it will produce a logfile located at C:\ComboFix.txt.
3. Post the contents of that log in your next reply with a new HijackThis log.
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall/hang.
In your next reply:
* HijackThis v1.99.1 log in Safe Mode
* main.txt from Deckard's System Scanner
* extra.txt from Deckard's System Scanner
* Combofix logfile

Yes, but many other things do that as well (some keyloggers and odd chinese trojans) and an older version of HijackThis isn't usually the way to go. Often a Safe Mode scan followed by a few fixes will suffice.
