    Default Spyware removal tried everything

    Hi I have tried all the recommended means of getting rid of spyware which is re directing my browser and producing pop up adverts. I was advised to use spybot and hijack. I have used both in safe mode
    Spybot identifies 3 threats 1 it removes and the other 2 it doesn't. The threats are:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Controlset002
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Controlset001
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolsset

    It removes 002 but not the others - I get a message saying that it may be because some associated files are still in use in memory.

    I ran hijack and the log is below. Can you help me - thanks

    Hi
    What was the name of the threat ? command service perhaps ?
    Your running Hijackthis from a temp, it still hasnt been unzipped and its a very old version, none of which is a good idea.
    Create a new folder, for instance C:\AntiSpyware
    Download the exe from here to that new folder.
    http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
    This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong
    Make and post a new log

    Default Followed Good Advice

    Lonnie,thanks for your help. I have followed your advice and created a folder for HijackThis.

    Whilst I waited for your response to the original query I read the advice to others with similar problems to me and I think I have fixed mine now. If nothing else I have learned a hell of a lot from you guys
