    *^&%$$# popups

    So I have a WinXP Toshiba laptop which is all fine and dandy except the continual popups, even when I'm not surfing the net. I have a firewall engaged as well as a popup blocker. All that's left is to assume there's still some spyware crap that my Spyhunter and Spybot can't find.

    Here's my hijackthis log:

    Got a few in there...


    P2P Networking is a potential; wgifej.exe, recill.exe and Kvw1.exe look viral; Kazaa needs to come off your machine - too much danger as a doorway to crapware and viruses; ...

    I just don't have the time to google everything suspicious on that list friend.

    You can give it a shot, or wait for more feedback - or better yet: format/re-install Windows. It might even be faster than hunting down all that stuff.

    Just a tought.

    I don't know, but I think my thought is a bit more... pertinent.

    unless you have some new and improved spybot i don't think that C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe is really a spybot file.

    "just a thought"
    Yes, it is.
    What is the Resident TeaTimer?

    The Resident TeaTimer is a new tool of Spybot-S&D which perpetually monitors the processes called/initiated. It immediately detects known malicious processes wanting to start and terminates them giving you some options how to deal with this process in the future: You can set TeaTimer to:

    - be informed, when the process tries to start again
    - automatically kill the process
    - or generally allow the process to run There is also an option to delete the file associated with this process.

    In addition, TeaTimer detects, when something wants to change some critical registry keys. TeaTimer can protect you against such changes again giving you an option: You can either "Allow" or "Deny" the change. As TeaTimer is always running in the background, it takes some resources of about 5 MB.

    Why does Resident TeaTimer terminate the application before asking?

    Because threats like toll dialers are time critical - they cost from the first second they've connected. In order to protect you, these have to be terminated at the moment they appear before they can connect at all.

    Why is the TeaTimer called "TeaTimer"?

    As we used to forget our tea, when we let it brew, we built a small tool with a system tray icon to remind us. We called this tool "TeaTimer". When we started to develop the Resident tool for Spybot-S&D, we also needed a system tray icon for this. As we do not like having too many icons in the system tray, we decided to put both tools together and kept the name "TeaTimer". The next version of the Resident tool will also have the functions of the original "TeaTimer".

    You can find the Resident TeaTimer in the tools section.
    Probability factor of one to one...we have normality, I repeat we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.

    You should remove those...download Spybot and Adaware, update, and reboot into safe mode. Scan and remove items...then empty your temp folders...finally you might want to run this:

    Microsoft TVMedia Removal Tool

    I would probably uninstall Kazaa and BearShare if there are any entries left for them...I know Kazaa is spyware infested, don't know about BearShare. Even so, seems like they all are these days so I would just take it off just to make sure.

    Also, I've never heard/seen anything good about SpyHunter...in fact it's listed on many websites as being in league with spyware makers, so it shouldn't be trusted...here's a link I found:

    http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_...re.htm#sh_note

    it basically says it looks like they've stopped most bad activities, but I'm not the kinda person who would even care...they aer dead to me

    Just something to think about...could be the reason you're not picking up all the spyware. I'm a big Spybot fan, but lately AdAware has been getting some good results in their scans so don't forget to download that one!!!

    I feel that its best to have both of them, Adaware and SPybot. Theyre both free and like I said compliment each other.

    Couldn't hurt to visit Steve Gibson's site too (http://www.grc.com/default.htm) and take a look at his 'Shoot The Messenger' software.

    Could be usual spyware/adware troubles (which Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster et al should be able to solve) or could be something is taking advantage of your OS's Windows Messenger service - and I gather this would not necessarily show up in firewall.
