First lets see what is running on your PC, there is a good chance that you have additional Trojan horses or viruses on your computer. Go here http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/downloads/download.php/id/40 and download the latest version of Hijack This (remember where you saved it), unzip it in a permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and post your log here. Most of the files listed will be harmless and/or required, so do not make any changes just yet. |

I got this information from the trendmicro anti-virus database on their website: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_AGOBOT.MA Solution: Identifying the Malware Program To remove this malware, first identify the malware program. Scan your system with your Trend Micro antivirus product. NOTE all files detected as WORM_AGOBOT.MA. Trend Micro customers need to download the latest pattern file before scanning their system. Other Internet users may use Housecall, Trend Micro?s free online virus scanner.

Do the same for all detected malware files in the list of running processes. To check if the malware process has been terminated, close Task Manager, and then open it again. Close Task Manager. Removing Autostart Entries from the Registry Removing autostart entries from the registry prevents the malware from executing during startup. To remove the malware autostart entries: Open Registry Editor. To do this, click Start>Run, type Regedit, then press Enter.

Buy one spyware protection software. here is a good one. http://www.webroot.com/products/spysweeper/?rc=648&ac=adw05ss You can evaluate it initially. If you like it, buy the license for 29.95. That is what i have done (initial spyware signature download is free. the rest needs to be paid). |

I have success using spybot 1.3 and adaware. Both of the applications remove malware and other applications that loads your machine up with ad and popups. I have successfully remove over 800 these little pests on a machine that was virtually useless. Do a google search for these items. |

Run your computer in safemode, go to the start menu (RIGHT) click on it, then click Search, then make sure you are looking in the correct Directory, C: most likely, search for the name of each file, one by one, and when you get all resualts, select it and delete it. |

A better solution yet would be to download Mozilla FireFox 1.0 and never ever use Internet Explorer again. It is a free download. |
