Brad,
Thanks for the quick reply. I did everything you talked about. I created a new folder for the program and log. Is that correct? Here is the log.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Brad,
I don't want to mess anything up more than it is.
How do I turn off system restore? Also, will this delete anything saved in My Documents or on my desktop?

So, turn off system restore, and then have HiJackThis fix the list you gave me. When do I turn the system restore back on?

Thanks for your time.

[ncurtiss]

[teststrips]

[ncurtiss]

Thanks! I will give it a try. What an adventure. I'll let you know how things go.

[brad]

Turn off System Restore in WinMe:
In WinME: Right click My Computer / Properties / Performance / File System / Troubleshooting. Then check the box marked "Disable System Restore."

Turn it back on after you've got things repaired.

brad

[ncurtiss]

Brad,
I hit a road block after running the fix on HiJackThis. After running the fix on HiJackThis, I went to the control panel and tried to remove the programs you indicated. I could only remove TV Media. TOOLBAR was not in there and when I tried to remove DealHelper a box came up and said that I needed to FIRST remove all DealHelper ad-supported software from your computer. How do I find that out? Should I proceed deleting the folders in the next step or should I try to find out how to remove all ad-supported software that goes with DealHelper?
Thanks again!

[brad]

Try in "Safe Mode".
brad

[ncurtiss]

Brad,
I ran HiJackThis a second time, only in safe mode. Results are below. I still received the same message when I went into the control panel to remove DealHelper in safe mode, that I need to remove software that it supports, etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

In Safe Mode:

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

TV MEDIA


Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab)

C:\PROGRAM FILES\TV MEDIA
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSKCEO.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msgked.exe


Now, delete your TEMP Folder and empty your Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Try removing Dealhelper now. Are Clientman or any other wierd programs showing in Add/Remove?

Brad,
I did all that you told me to do in Safe Mode and you guessed it, I still can't remove DealHelper and it gives me the same message that I have to remove all the adsupported software first. Any ideas?
Man there were a lot of things in that TEMP foder. What is that anyway?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
