purging my laptop! my hjt log...
rachael
saaaf of the river
hiya!
having read primesuspect's article on defeating spyware i have been duly inspired to thoroughly purge my laptop of fiendish spyware, viruses and trojans.
i would be v.grateful if anyone could spare the time to cast an eye over my hjt log.
i think can see a few obvious candidates for removal- such as begin2search... grrr!- but im no expert (although ive been on a steep learning curve since i found this site and am waaay better informed than i was this time yesterday- in fact, im feeling quite the boffin
!).
AVG 6.0, Ad-Aware SE Personal, and Spybot Search & Destroy have done sterling work, and CWShredder found nothing.
btw, i also downloaded OmegaKiller- just to be on the safe side!- but it doesnt work. the error messages read:
The PSAPI.DLL file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:wcslen.
...and...
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
i couldnt find uninstall for omega. any ideas about what to do to fix or remove?
sorry to ramble on (im a newbie- please forgive any dumb mistakes or obviousisms!).
kind regards, rachael x
