Yes, Uninstall Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4. you can set up 1.5 this way.
If you have the older version 1.4, remove it via the Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Open Firefox and click on Help> About and you should have version 2.0.0.7 The new version if you need it will install right on top of the old one.

- Go to Mode and click on Advanced Mode
- Then to Updates Search for Updates
- If you get a Bad Checksum Error, just choose a different download location.
- Then to Settings/ File Sets and take the checkmark out of Usage Tracks
- Then to Tools/ Hosts Files click on Add Spybot S&D Hosts Files.
- Then to Tools/ IE Tweeks and put a checkmark in Lock the Hosts Files

- Let it scan your system
- Then to Fix Problems and fix all it finds.

Missed that one.
AVG Anti Spyware is one of the better programs available, keep it :bigthumb:
CCleaner you only have to download once, periodically when you open the program it will tell you there is an update to a newer version, go for it. It wont protect you from attacks but it will keep your system free of any temp files and such and your system will run smoother.
Profile watch <-- Like I said, if you use it keep it.
You can delete these, there only used for certain infections, if you ever get whacked again the fixes will be updated and these will no longer be of any value
smitfraudfix (a zipped folder)
smitfraudfix (folder)
hjt install
kasperski
killbox (zipped folder)
killbox ( a red circle w/ an x in it)
some saved hjt files from last year <-- Your call to keep for reference
Keep all your setup files in case you ever need to reinstall them. Keep them all in a folder and name the folder Downloads or something you will remember

Yep, it just runs off the desktop, there was no installation

all downloads complete
I downloaded everything that you listed that I didnt have already. I just want to make sure that you did mean download and run them all at the same time (not pick and choose). Thats a lot of checking for updates etc.
Its amazing what you guys know.
Zone alarm is going to make me verify a lot apparently.We'll have to see how that goes.
Just verify for me the above mentioned and thank you very much.

Just keep in mind the old saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, keeping that in mind the vermin that write all this garbage are constantly adding new files and there are new threats every day, so keeping these programs updated is very importrant. Now you don't have to be fanatical running all these programs.
1. Zone Alarm <--Just sits in the background, you will be notified when a new version is available.
2. AVG Anti Spyware <--Just run this a maybe once a month, check for updates first.
3. Spyware Guard <-- One time install, no updates and no scan to run, just sits in the background blocking bad programs
4. AVG Anti Virus <-- Check for updates ( not sure if the free version does it automatically ) and run a scan once a week.
5. Spyware Blaster <-- No scan to run, just blocks bad programs from installing but you need to check for updates at least once a month and enable all protection
6. Spybot Search and Destroy <-- Update it about every few weeks and use the immunize feature to block bad programs from installing, run a scan once or twice a month
None of these programs will conflict Hope this helped
