Hi
I'm suffering from "ad-w-a-r-e.com" pup-ups...
When i run HJT, all seems fine, apart from changes to hosts file:
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 auto.search.msn.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearch
I've read about this malware, and tried all solutions i found, but none works. I've instaled VX2-remover add-on for AdAware, but when i run it, it keeps saying that system is clean. After long hestitation, I've also run look2me's Uninstaller... hestitation because if i understood well, look2me are the very authors of the [ah em!], but people seem to have had success by running the uninstaller... not me, however. Says "no version found to be removed"
I've also emptied ...../LocalSettings/Temp dir while in safe mode, and it removed most of the [ah em!] i had, but not these pop-ups... please help!!! i'm supposed to be working on a tight deadline but this [ah em!] has eaten up almost whole of my day...
Here's HJT log. Apart from Running Processes part (which is not visible when running/fixing HJT), all other items are ok and legal on my comp, expect those hosts changes, as i said... but maybe someone sees something i don't...
Thnx!!
