Hi, I have been plagued by SpywareStrike for the past 3 days . I followed your recommended procedure and it seems to be fixed. Thanks very much.
I copied all the logs you requested but they are much too long for the forum to accept so I will include the HiJackThis logs before and after. If you want anything else please let me know at
(removed email address).

Second HiJackThis Log:
(Had to remove this as it was too long for the forum message box. I have all the logs and could send them as attachments)
The problem seems to be fixed after following your procedures. I had previously tried to fix it using the procedures described in http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-spywarestrike.html . However, the spywarestrike kept reinstalling itself :-( Maybe this was a newer version of the malware. But in any case your procedure solved the problem (my fingers are still crossed after spending 2 full days on this nuisance).
A couple of notes:
(Had to remove to fit forum message requirements)
Ewido found (and cleaned) 1000 Infected Objects!
I want to thank you very much for your help. I am truly grateful for your advice. I suspect I will be back again!

Second HiJackThis Log:
(Had to remove this as it was too long for the forum message box. I have all the logs and could send them as attachments)
The problem seems to be fixed after following your procedures. I had previously tried to fix it using the procedures described in http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-spywarestrike.html . However, the spywarestrike kept reinstalling itself :-( Maybe this was a newer version of the malware. But in any case your procedure solved the problem (my fingers are still crossed after spending 2 full days on this nuisance).
A couple of notes:
(Had to remove to fit forum message requirements)
Ewido found (and cleaned) 1000 Infected Objects!
I want to thank you very much for your help. I am truly grateful for your advice. I suspect I will be back again!
