Problem with xlime.optimizer and z1.adserver

Hi everyone! I am new here, just registered, but I've been reading some of the threads regarding the xlime.optmizer spyware/hijacker. I have downloaded and ran hijack this and generated a logfile. As a recommendation the program helpfile states that I should show the logfile to an expert who may be able to tell me which plugins I may fix.

I have included the logfile, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried Ad-aware, SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard, alas none of them got rid of this problem.

Thanks much for the help in advance! I hope I will also be able to help out in the future!

    Thanks for looking into this for me!
    A lot has happened since my last post, not the least of which is my Western Digital 160 Gig 7200rpm/8MB cache HD acting up, resulting in my re-installing XP Pro from scratch (incl. SP2).

    However, I will still include the new hijack this log, in case I can still learn something. :scratch:

    Your log looks okay. Are you still having any problems?

    Thanks for the reply!

    No,no problems since this is a brand new install of the OS and all (I
    recommend staying away from Western Digital drives. This is the third
    one to go bad on me within the last year!!!!)

    However, this will be good for future reference, logging that which
    looks okay... It will help in isolating future pests. :)

    However, I still have the log file from the previous install (just have to
    recover it), and once I have done that I will post it as well. Again,
    it will provide a good reference for future pests.

    I also have a question: are SpyBlaster and SpyGuard successful in keeping
    things at bay?

    Thanks again for all the help and time!

    Eric Howes is performing comprehensive tests of most legitimate spyware removal apps, which you can see here.

    One very important conclusion to draw from his tests is that no single antispyware app can do the job. You need a cocktail. :)
