Suspected browser hijacker

Hi

It appears you have items on hijackthis's ignorlist ?

"Spyware Blaster reports: Wind Update
Trend Micro antiSpyware reports : tspy_LowZones.A"

What program reports wind update ? and where is it located ? whats the file name ? and finaly does it keep returning ?

Where does trend see the file and what name is it using ?

Lets get another opinion
Panda ActiveScan-Free online scanner,
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
Save the report and post it back here please if there are any that it is unable to deal with.
 
back on line with infected machine

First, Thanks for the help so far. Asking for help does not come easy for me.

Spyware Blaster reports that windupdates.com is on my list of restricted sites, but for some reason it shows up in red and is unchecked. If I change this setting it reverts back to unchecked when I reboot.

Trend reports tspy_LowZone.A from company ID 6120. I can't find it with Search and I get a popup stating Unable to view log file a this time [Spysubtract] Error 2 Error O)xlba

Panda Active Scan Free report is attached--another virus and a bunch of cookies that do not show up in AVG.

Ran a new HJT scan but don't know how to post more than 1 attachment at a time. Guess I'll just post again.
 
Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.0

Post a current version hijackthis log

Place it in a folder of its own not in a temp , such as c:\antispyware
First Make a new folder, example C:\AntiSpyWare
and download/Save HijackThis, to that new folder.
This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong
http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
Double click HijackThis.exe, Hit None of the above, just start the program.
Hit Scan When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log somewhere, and please show us its contents.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

So what version of SpywareBlaster and SpyBot is it you have ?

Also
Kaspersky Lab - Free Online scan:
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Click scan settings and place a check next to use [x]extended this database etc etc. Click ok.
Then choose: my computer: scan all your hard drives and mapped disks.
when finished click save as text and post that in your reply.
 
Back at work

I downloaded Hijackthis ver 1.99.0.1 to a separate folder, ran it and have attached a log.

Kapersky online scan picked up nothing.

I am running SpybotSD version 1.4.0.3 and Spyware Blaster 3.05.0001
 
SpyBot 1.4o3 was a beta, the final is out now, you should replace it.

I think one of you other security programs (perhaps trend)is undoing what SpywareBlaster did..
 
legitimate download site

Can you direct me to a legitimate download site? Just tried to download Spybot 1.4 from one of the mirror sites but I worry that my request may have been re-directed. What is the MD-5 hash of the version you want me to use?

Online Panda antivirus scan

Thanks for your reply to my concerns about legitimacy of HJT 1.4. I ran Panda's online scan and then installed their evaluation software. Not a good idea. Now I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions? Tried to use HJT tools to delete Panda files upon reboot but this did not work. How to get rid of the services that Panda installed without breaking HJT?

FYI--FilAlyzer was not able to process the downloaded Panda installation package.

Current HJT log attached.
