View Full Version : Newbie - Problem after running S&D

Just ran S&D for the first time. Despite having just run Adaware, I got several red messages which I removed.

When I now log in I am getting a message saying that MWSBAR.DLL (MyWebSearch?) cannot be found.

How do I get rid of this?

Also when I log in as my user account (vs Administrator) for some reason it is creating a new profile directory for me. This doesn't happen with my wife's user account or administrator. I ran Sbybot as administrator, but I think I ran Adaware logged in as my user. So it may be Adaware that has caused this or some dependency unique to my profile has been altered. Any advice how to deal with this much appreciated.

Cheers! (I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and the latest Sbybot)

Hello,

You seem to have deleted MyWebSearch and there seem to be some items left.
I would like to see a hijackthis log.
Please download HijackThis (http://www.downloads.subratam.org/hijackthis.zip).
Double click HijackThis.exe.
Just start the program.
Hit Scan.
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Please post that log here.

Best regards
