ok i am running windows xp with mcafee anti and pc tools spyware doctor.
a few weeks ago (bout 2) i seemed to pick up some adware that i just cant remove.
my adware program gets rid of it the it just keeps coming back.
it has caused my comp to run very slow can take ages to open IE now and just as long to do nearly any easy task. i have 1gig of ram but might as well be using 256 at this speed , it has started taking ages to shutdown and start up crashing freezing and pop-ups of an unfit nature (have 3 young children who use my comp) to constantly sundenly pop-up. also my items on my desktop move around lol !!! my itunes went from over 300 songs to NONE they all just dissapeared!!!
i have down loaded hjt to see if you guys can be of any help (on knees praying)
the adware comes up as ..adware.advertising and application tracking cookies that look harmless but i have a badsites 1 as well that keeps getting found but not always and that shows a high risk 1.
panda keeps saying that there are 2 hacking tools and rootkits on my comp but can never finish the scan.

not sure what other info you need !! hjt log and other scan results is attached also i finally
got 2 run a full scan with panda and thier results r below.(hope it ok to post these !!)

Hello.

Please download F-Secure BlackLight

• Save BlackLight to your desktop.
• Double-click blbeta.exe then accept the agreement.
• Click > Scan then > Next
• After the scan you'll see a list of all items found. Please click Next and exit. Don't choose to rename anything yet! I want to see the log first, because legitimate items can also be present there.
• There will be a log on your desktop with the name fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (where the xxxxxxx are numbers) Please post the contents of this log in your next reply.

Download Blacklight Beta graphical user interface version
Download Blacklight Beta command line version

thxs for helping
which version do i need to download please?

ok srry but i have tried to download both now but the line version is not detected on my comp(put thru search cuz it wasnt on my desktop) and the other is not an exe file just a blue couloured like triangle called fsblc and when clicked it just very quickly flashes a black screen then gone.

srry not very good at this what have i done wrong?

You CAN specify the file to be saved on your desktop.

Click on this link again:
https://europe.f-secure.com/exclude/blacklight/fsbl.exe

You will be prompted to save it. Now specify the file to be saved on your desktop (or whereever you think it is convenient).

Try running it now...


If you get an error message, or cannot get it to run for some reason, please capture a screenshot of it.

If you have any queries regarding the above steps, please do not send me a pm as you have done. Simply post it here and I'll get to it as soon as possible.

ok i did save to desktop but it doesnt show for some reason or when i scan for it, any way i went to your above link and downloaded again but it says" the evaluation period for this version of f-secure of blacklight has expired" and the 1 that 1st downloaded flashes a black screen then gone way to fast to get a pic of it lol srry.

No worries, we'll try another tool.

Download GMER from here:
GMER - Files

Unzip it to the desktop.

Open the program and click on the Rootkit tab.
Make sure all the boxes on the right of the screen are checked, EXCEPT for ‘Show All’.
Click on Scan.
When the scan has run click Copy and paste the results (if any) into a Notepad file. Then attach it to this thread.
