    Default can't get rid of Spywareinfo.TrafficZ

    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" and after that open a new thread in the Malware Removal Forum.

    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
