    Welcome to Short Media forums.

    Before doing the following, please Set your computer to show hidden files and folders, Disable System Restore, Uninstall Weatherbug, and Reboot in Safe Mode.

    Once you have done that, Run HijackThis and have it fix the following:


    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = about:blank
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000221} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {002EB272-2590-4693-B166-FBD5D9B6FEA6} - C:\WINDOWS\multimpp.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {01F44A8A-8C97-4325-A378-76E68DC4AB2E} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {E0E899AB-F487-11D5-8D29-0050BA6940E3} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\evntsvc.exe -osboot
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [xgmcemgyqoa] C:\WINDOWS\System32\hdskzyid.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Weather] C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe 1
    O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug (HKCU)


    Then find and locate the files listed above and Quarentine Them.

    Once you have done that, reboot, scan with HijackThis again, and post a new log.

    You're welcome. A great way to thank us would be to stick around the forums. We can always use more active users. :) Also you can now enable system restore and set a new restore point. If you have any more spyware problems feel free to ask here. I am going to close this topic now as it seems to have been resolved.
