hi...i've done some research on this already and have deleted any bookmarks that are spywareinfo or merlin.
it still keeps finding Spywareinfo.TrafficZ
i've gone so far as moving my bookmarks to a cd and using just the default bookmarks that come with firefox, i'm also deleting the backup bookmarks and cleaning up with ccleaner....it's still finding Spywareinfo.TrafficZ

it shows as
bookmark (firefox:comp owner (default))
hjtlogtutorial.php (http://wwwspywareinfo.com/~merijn/hjtlogtutorial.php)

stuff like this bugs me....
any ideas before i put it on the ignore list

thanks

Hi roadnt,

welcome to Safer Networking Forums. :)

If you are still infected with Malware, you can do the following step just to make sure:

Please read the sticky thread "BEFORE you POST" (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) and after that open a new thread in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22).

A security expert will help you to remove it there.

Best regards,
-Matt-

Hello roadnt,

Which version of Firefox do you have please. Also, please open Spybot Search & Destroy > Help > About and let us know the version and date of last definitions.

Best regards.

i think i've got it cleared up now.
i put in a backup copy of my bookmarks i made about a month ago.
and started from scratch deleting the offenders.
i ran 2 scans since and they both were clean

thanks for your interest
