Running Windows 2K. Massive pop-ups. Ran Spybot and Ad-Aware and cleaned it up.

Also, whenever I open my task manager, it automatically closes itself within half a second of opening the program.

Here's my Log:

    here is your taskmanager problem

    Boot into Safe Mode the do the following:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AOL Messenger] AOLMSNGR.EXE
    O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [AOL Messenger] AOLMSNGR.EXE

    Fix those entries then find and delete AOLMSNGR.exe, boot into normal mode, and post a new log.

    Deleted selected AOLMSNGR.exe files. Task manager working again! Thanks!

    Ran Spybot, still coming up with two DSO Exploits.

    What is the SurfSideKick2 program in the Program Files?

    You have a CWS infection too.

    Download CWShredder from here and run it. Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

    To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

    Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

    Reboot and delete the C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 2<----folder.

    Reboot after doing this & post another log please.
