Question HJT log + problem with limewire

Hi Guys

long time not active (or at least not posting), though I've used this board a lot for reference and 'think' that I got an alright sense of what is secure to clean out and what probably not.

anyway...
Since I'm back home again it was time for me to clean up my dad's computer again...

For starters I did everything you guys listed in the Please, Read This Before Posting A Hijackthis Log. thread

Quote:
Click the Tweak button and select:
· Under the Scanning Engine:
o Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
o Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
· Under the Cleaning Engine:
o Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
Click on Proceed to save the settings.
if the 'o' in front of the option means 'untick' I've done it right...

I ran Ad-aware built 1.06r1 +updates

I ran trendmicro's online vius scanner
it found a Joke Flipped virus which i deleted
I then took HJT from that thread, scanned the system and created a log file.
Then I got the Analyzer to do it's job...

Here's the log, created by Hijack This Analyzer

furthermore...

I run Limewire and since I have the newest version (4.8.1) on the computer the program doesn't respond anymore. I've tried deinstall/reinstall. Didn't work.

What do I have to do???

Help is greatly appreciated.

cheers
Heinz

Sounds like a Limewire issue...but we don't offer support for P2P software programs. Your hijackthis log is clean though. If the problem is other then limewire please describe it..in detail.

There is one issue though

How do I get Web Savings from Ebates off my list of installed software? it won't let itself deinstall.

cheers

I didn't see if listed on your last log. Post another. See if there is an uninstaller in it's directory. (Should be like C:\Program Files\Web Rebates)

Run this tool also..and check for any other leftovers...

Download ewido security suite from here… http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Update it’s database from here.. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/
Run a scan and let it clean the PC. Post a new hijackthis log when complete

Hi

ewido didn't find Ebates either. It only found a tracking cookie.
Also, I must have chucked this folder C:\Program Files\Web Rebates some time ago because sometimes I just go through my program files folder and delete everything I don't recognise as something wanted. (usually after trying to uninstall it...

Furthermore, another software entry that doesn't show up on the log is

Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.1_07

I possibly made the mistake of uninstalling the newer version before the older version (they were both in the software list)

Now I've got J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2 installed but as I say, the other entry won't go away.

Help is much appreciated

cheers
Adrian

PS: log attached

PPS: tried to run analyzer on it but told me to get update, which I did. But then it still told me that the newly downloaded version is out of date.

Ok. Make sure these programs in add/remove programs are removed. Run hijackthis..click config...misc tools and click Open uninstall manager. If your sure the programs are gone...highlight the entry for it..and click delete entry.

Then check again in add/remove and it should not be listed. If it is...you'll need to take it out manually by navigating to the following key in the registry..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Fine the folders listed with the name your after..and delete them.
