Unhappy Adware Insanity!!

Hi,
My first post
Just today, IE starts up by itself and displays some ad page at random.
This happens even if I'm in another application (IE closed).

I've tried :
- Scan for viruses (McAfee v 7 - updated)
- Currently running the ActiveScan from PandaWare (found 8 infected and fixed)
- Ran Spybot and removed all that it found
- Ran NoAdware and cleared it's findings.
- Cleared a few items using the HijackThis progam.
- Ran LSPFIX.

Any help appreciated - this is VERY annoying.

Current HijackThis log is shown below:

Welcome to CTH jureidinim.

Before we start, please create a dedicated folder for Hijack This on on your drive and copy it across. If you do not, you will end up with backups scattered all over your Desktop.

You have a startup that I am not familiar with. What can you tell me about the below entry?

O4 - Global Startup: Entrust.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\system32\etlitr50.exe

If you dont know what it is and there is no identifying information in Properties, could you make sure that you can view hidden files and folders and run a search for etlitr50.exe. When you find it, copy it to a new folder, zip it up (this is important) and email it to me (include a link to this thread). My address is annmarie@cybertechhelp.com. I will post back when I have checked it out.

In the meantime, close IE and all open windows and run Hijack This again. Check the below entries and click on Fix Checked.

R3 - URLSearchHook: CnfSearch Class - {D7CD08F0-D691-11D8-9669-0800200C9A66} - c:\windows\system32\ConfuSearch.dll

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe

Reboot and post a new log.

Adware Insanity - Fixed!

Sorry - I'm just getting back to this site..

I had downloaded AdAware and found this same problem mentioned on their forums. Apparently it was caused by a malware program called VX1 (I think that's the name).
Anyway, the host site for AdAware had a VX1 plugin which was made specifically for this.

I downloaded it, installed and ran the AdAware program. It WORKED!!

No more hijack!!

Thanks for your response though.

I have another problem (DirectX and sound/voice problems) which i may be posting on soon.

Thanks again!!
