unwanted search icons on desktop - Curious

curious · October 2004

I really need some help if anyone has time. Thank you in advance. Everytime I browse a web site I get 3 to five search icons on my desktop. They all relate to whatever topic I was browsing. I've been reading the forum and am beginning to suspect maybe it has something to do with the HOME SEARCH ASSISTANT - (I clearly don't have a good understanding what it is) or if it is my problem. Also, my comp is just doing weird stuff. Mostly running slow as molassis. I have run Adware and Spybot but these problems are still there. Does anyone have any suggestions. Again, thank you in advance.

Welcome to spyware hell. You should read a few things first, and then post a HijackThis log into our Spyware/Virus/Trojan discussion forum. We will then explain how to remove the problem. We can help you get rid of it, for sure

Second:

I'm going to move this post to the SVT forum. Don't create a new thread, just post your HJT log in here

thanks so much - i feel like the knight on the white horse just arrived.

primesuspect · October 2004

if you saw me in person, you'd probably rethink that notion

OK here is my Hijack Log. I have run Adware and Spybot. How does it look? Please advise and thank you so much for your help.

You are in serious need of your Microsoft updates or you will continue to be an easier target for malware.
Please go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com for the updates required for your system.

Also, your log is not clean.

Run hijackthis again and have it fix;
