Computer crashing often...ads pop up often...HJT log included. Please help!
First things first...I have run SpyBot and AdAware. There were some items that were removed/fixed. Here are my problems:
I use Firefox, and I still get pop-ups from IE. EDIT: This is with pop-up stopper running. They are usually related to pages that I am browsing (i.e., when I make a home mortgage payment I get a home loan pop-up).
Usually I can run multiple windows in Firefox, Windows Media Player, and another program (Hearts, Kazaa Lite, etc.) at the same time with no problems. Recently however, my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
When I normally run SpyBot and AdAware, there are a few items that, once they are removed, stay gone. Now, every time I run these two scans, they keep catching things that need to be removed. This makes me think that I have some spyware that keeps rearing its ugly head every time I start up.
EDIT: I'm also getting a 'low virtual memory' message from time to time. This may be fixed after I get rid of the spyware, but if you guys see any resource hogs let me know and I can get rid of them, too. Thanks!

Thank you so much for having such a welcoming, helpful site. It makes computer novices like myself feel welcome and unintimidated.
I use Firefox, and I still get pop-ups from IE. EDIT: This is with pop-up stopper running. They are usually related to pages that I am browsing (i.e., when I make a home mortgage payment I get a home loan pop-up).
Usually I can run multiple windows in Firefox, Windows Media Player, and another program (Hearts, Kazaa Lite, etc.) at the same time with no problems. Recently however, my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
When I normally run SpyBot and AdAware, there are a few items that, once they are removed, stay gone. Now, every time I run these two scans, they keep catching things that need to be removed. This makes me think that I have some spyware that keeps rearing its ugly head every time I start up.
EDIT: I'm also getting a 'low virtual memory' message from time to time. This may be fixed after I get rid of the spyware, but if you guys see any resource hogs let me know and I can get rid of them, too. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know about the newer HJT version. I hope it helps you guys out.
I have a ton of things that run on startup. I know a lot of it is not essential, and some may even be unwanted. Here are a list of items that I see when I type in 'msconfig':
vptray
CMGrdian
dpps2
qttask
realsched
Logi_MwX
SearchUpgrader
hpcmpmgr
HPWuSchd2
wupdater
RealPlay
Belt
DirectCD
CREATE~1
ctfmon
Weather
ypager
msgked
Adobe Reader Speed Launch
HP Digital Imaging Monitor
HP Image Zone Fast Start
Microsoft Office
I was told that SearchUpgrader, wupdater, and msgked were bad. I know I'm already asking a lot, but if I could get help as to how to remove these and any other things that are uneccessary startup items I'd really appreciate it. Please let me know if I need to provide any more info to help you guys out.
Thanks!
Hi LaRock,
Check the following entries in HJT and then click 'Fix Checked'

Find and delete the files in highlighted - don't worry if they do noe exist:
C:\PROGRA~1\INCRED~1
C:\Program Files\Common files\SearchUpgrader
Post a new HJT log after
Can I ask, did you have anything disabled on startup when you created your HJT log? If so, then enable everything on startup and post a new HJT log after you have done the things i've asked in the previous message.
From the Items you listed, you really don't need any of them unless there is something you want, in which case you can leave it.
Hope that helps
Yes, I had disabled some of the startup items, so I enabled everything and ran a new HJT log. Here it is:

Just a quick note: while running Ewido, I was playing Microsoft Hearts to pass the time. I got a "low virtual memory" message in my active icons tray. Then when I connected to the Internet (using Firefox) I got an IE popup warning me about possible spyware (I've received this popup often). So, I'm not sure if I missed something and I still have some spyware, or if I have to restart to get rid of all the spyware. I'm sure you'll be able to tell if I'm still infected by looking at the HJT Log.
Thanks again for all your help! And I uninstalled and deleted Kazaa as per your recommendation.
Get rid of these two:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Weather] C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe 1
yes, i know a lot of people like weatherbug, but it is considered spyware. If you must have it, skip that entry.
After that, I think you're clean
You guys are great! Thanks again!
I found Weather Watcher to be an excellent free - and non-Spyware - alternative.
I'm the one who sent LaRock over here - thanks for helping him out, fellows.
