Hi Guy!

It looks like the programs you have run have done most of the work (which is how it is supposed to be).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O16 - DPF: {4620BC29-8B8E-4F4E-9D92-1DB6633D6793} (SurferNETWORK Plugin) - http://rd1.surfernetwork.com/surferplugin.ocx
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://207.188.7.150/1269203d084453...ip/RdxIE601.cab
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, the 02 entry is just some housecleaning.

The two 016 entries are left-overs from some of the infections that the programs tried to cure.

Open a HJT log, check those three items to be fixed, then, with all explorer and browser windows closed, tell HJT to fix them.

Reboot.

Send us one more HJT log please, so that we can make sure everything was fixed.

The problem is that everything is moving so fast, it's hard for anyone to keep up with it. It's not like a new virus, trojan or variant is being found everyday; it's more like every hour.

Even we poor souls that read HJT logs for folks have a heck of a time keeping our research current.

I am posting my canned thing on security programs that are useful in fighting back. You can read about each of them at the sites.

software

Zonealarm Firewall (free edition) Zone Labs:

Free antivirus software

http://www.avast.com/i_idt_153.html

Spyware blocking programs (free):

Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard (the link will take you to the

Blaster page. The menu bar at the top will take you to the Guard page.

These two programs, written by the same developer, work hand-in-hand to

protect you from invasions).

Spyware Killers (free)!

Spybot Search & Destroy

http://download.com.com/3000-2144-1...&tag=button

Adaware
Ad-aware - Software - Lavasoft

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

I run both of these, as they occasionally find something that the other

did not.

Additionally, Microsoft has made some poor choices about default

settings in the OSs, resulting in multiple security weaknesses. Gibson

Research has a number of little programs that will help you close

security holes without having to edit your registry, wander My

Computer, etc., just to get secure. I highly recommend this resource.

The secret to running these programs is to update at least weekly!

Update Adaware and Spybot before you run a scan every time. Don’t

forget to update Blaster and Guard when you are doing your maintenance.

Make sure the antivirus software us up-to-date. Put a note on your

computer reminding you to do it!

Stay safe! Enjoy the WWW!
