xlime... what?? Please Help T_T;

Unknown

I've been having trouble with these xadsq/xlime.offeroptimizer pop-ups (similar problem with Lady Luck). I've already ran Ad-Ware 6.0 and Spybot S&D. But they're still there...If anyone can help me out, thank you in advance.

Here's my logfile....

bump @_@;;

Dexter

Ahem...

http://www.short-media.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135005&postcount=2

...be patient. Sometimes people will get replies in minutes. Other times it may take a day or two to get a response. This is entirely dependent on the schedules of the people who volunteer their time here. Most of us have jobs, spouses, kids, etc, in our real lives, and those things take priority. If you don't see a response immediately, please do not post "bumps" to move your thread up, unless it has been several days since you have had a reply. When the SVT SWAT Team members come into this forum, we scan the "replies" column, and identify the threads that have 0 replies. Often, we will try to work on those older ones first before moving to the newer ones. Being at the top of the threads does not work in your favour. If you "bump" your thread 3 or 4 times, what we may end up seeing is a thread with 3 or 4 replies, at the top of the list, and another post at the bottom of the page with ZERO replies. Guess who I am going to try to help first??

If your thread would have had 0 replies, I would have gotten to you much sooner....

You will notice that one of the items tagged for fixing is Edonkey. Like most free Peer-to-Peer apps, eDonkey contains spwyare on installation. I recommend Kazaa Lite for spyware/adware free P2P surfing.

Next, you need to locate the .exe files from the entries above and quarantine them.

Then, reboot normally, check things out, and come back and let us know. Post a fresh log for review.

Sorry about the bump. I panicked and got desperate. But I know that's still no excuse for what I did.....

anywho... I still seem to keep getting popups from xadsq.optimizer....something... and I'm not exactly sure what it is (isn't it similar to xlime?)

well, I just did what you had told me, and here is my newest hijackthis log

thanks again for your time.

Dexter

Just a couple more items to try....

SAFE MODE -> HJT -> FIX:

O2 - BHO: twaintecObj Class - {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42} - C:\WINDOWS\twaintec.dll


O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [alchem] C:\WINDOWS\alchem.exe

O4 - Startup: Drempels Desktop.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\drempels.exe

(DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT PROGRAM IS?? If not, delete it.)


Then quarantine those exe's and dll's, and see what happens. Post a fresh log for further review if needed.

Dexter...
