Hi,
I'm having trouble with the adware named Adware.BetterInternet, a trojan file which seems to create various signatures (3 I think) on my pc. I've tried a lot ways to fix it (two from this forum, several from other forums), but this adware doesn't completely go away.

I got rid of nail.exe and all, but I still have pop-ups from ewido (in about every 30 minutes) that 3 malicious files from Adware.BetterInternet are detected.

I will be very happy if someone can help me with this.

Download HijackThis self-extracting zip version from here. (http://www.malwareremoval.com/downloads.html) Once downloaded, double click on the file & it will install into it's own, permanent folder.
Start HJT & press the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. When the scan is finished a window will pop up giving you the option of where to save it. Save it to desktop where it is easy to access. Open the log file and copy the entire contents of the file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

Download L2mfix from one of these two locations:

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and double click l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop. Double click l2mfix.bat and select option #1 for Run Find Log by typing 1 and then pressing enter. This will scan your computer and it may appear nothing is happening, then, after a minute or 2, notepad will open with a log. Copy the contents of that log and paste it into this thread.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other files in the l2mfix folder until you are asked to do so!
