Hi

I got nailed by about 12 BHO's and one is a VERY annoying pop up called antispyware
soldier. I tried BHO Demon and NORTON and neither of the two are working. I also tried a program "hijack this " to remove the BHO's- The thing is, is that when the programs delete the BHO they reinstall themselves.
I tried also to delete them in the registry and the same thing happens- they come right back. I'm told there is a program somewhere that's reinstalling the BHO. Where MIGHT i look for it to delete it? I'm tempted to format the MACHINE if I can't figure this out.

Tks
JEff blimpguy ....... Is it possible that when you ran hijackthis....that you missed something...... how about POSTING a logfile and let us look at it .

dl65  rename the hijackthis to hjt2k6 to make sure NOTHING is hiding from youYou will need smitfraudfix, here's a very good link...

Does the guy who wrote the software have a site to donate to? I was going to post a logfile, but it was huge. I ran it again after smitfraud and it was cut in half. Thanks guys for the help, I dreaded the possibility of my laptop being in the shop for a week.

JeffThat guy from bleepingcomputer (Grinler) sure does a good job, rather than plagiarise him I pay him tribute by sending people to his threads. [smiley=thumbup.gif]
I'm glad you're up & running. Quote
