And is there a reason you have a Comodo VPN client running on your system? If you're not actively using that, I'd remove it.

I'm also a little concerned about all the missing system files that HijackThis is listing. It looks like you upgraded from Vista to Win7, and it left a bunch of dead links in your registry. If you're familiar with editing the registry, I'd remove those.

Is it safe for me to just remove those items in Malwarebytes? I wasn't sure if it would **** up my computer if I did.

Also, I'm not familiar with editing the registry, I don't want to screw that up.

Yes it's perfectly safe to let Malwarebytes remove it. That program is smart enough not to delete something that would cripple your system.

Perhaps I'll whip up a thread detailing how to edit the registry sometime soon. It's not as difficult as it sounds.

My registration for Avast ran up today... I tried registering for free and its not working for me. I also tried registering online at their site and it said they would send me a code... but I haven't received it yet.

Have you checked your junk mail? I'm pretty sure the registration code is sent pretty much instantly after you apply for it online.

Yep. No dice.

RustShack · 11-20-2010, 08:49 PM

Alright WTF!

I went back to the site and did the "resend code" so I put in my email and I got one saying my email wasn't in the database blah blah blah. So I went though and filled out the registration AGAIN. Still no email. Tried the resend again, and same message.

I requested one, too. If it comes in, I'll send it your way.

And when I tried registering through the Avast thats on my computer, it says "cannot find file specified"

Avast Reg

Yeah none of those worked... I did a system restore last night to a week ago and my Avast was working again. It said I registered for it 5/28/10 and is good through 5/28/11...

I have no idea what happened, but it works again.

The "Rogue Removal Kit" has a readme file that lists them. They're in a general order that should take care of you.

I ran a log but everytime I try and post it FF gives me a server reset screen. Have tried to upload it in attachment with note pad and copy and paste get the same results both times. Funny thing is I can post just fine anywhere else.
Just got done cleaning in safe mode but still seeing pop ups. Used my symantec coporate edition. NO virus. Cleaned with Malware bytes and Geary Register cleaner but not convinced it's fixed yet. Suggestions??? Thanks.

Try uploading your text file to this site.

http://hijackthis.de/ I've used it quite frequently. Copy and paste your log (or upload the txt file) and the webpage gives you an online analysis.

I've asked for this to be included in the OP but it seems no one's paying attention to my posts.

**btlook1** · 11-26-2010, 04:25 PM

Tried and it won't let me...gives me the same thing. Problem loading page...with fire fox and won't let me connect with IE. I can post everywhere else it seems but for some reason it won't let me load the log either in txt form or copy and paste?
