Hello Computer Rookie,

First off download the new version of HJT from here, http://tools.zerosrealm.com/hjt.zip

Delete the old version and scan with the new version and post that log. Also go to Start> Run, and type in services.msc and hit enter. See if you have a service listed as Security Agent.

**NooNoo** · August 28th, 2004, 03:08 PM

These may be "ordinary popups" like the ones that tell you you're the millionth visitor and you will get a prize.

However you didn't get rid of this last time

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SettingsBolt] C:\PROGRA~1\JUGSWI~1\Acid open.exe

Google has no hits for this - always a bad sign.

Hello Pugs, I did what you asked and did not find security agents files but I posted above the new hijackthis log.

**computer Rookie** · August 28th, 2004, 04:03 PM

Hello NooNoo, I ran a fix on that and it keeps on coming back! But you might be right about it just being normal popups but why is my computer running so slow.

**InTheWayBoy** · August 29th, 2004, 10:05 AM

Look in C:\Windows for any msg???.dll files...it's a Look2Me spyware file that somehow doesn't get listed but still can cause pop ups. This was about a month ago so it may not be the same thing now, but it's something to look for. I found an uninstaller and another program that might help. I have them on my website here:

http://www.inthewayboy.net/download.shtml

Hope that helps some!

**NooNoo** · August 29th, 2004, 06:57 PM

Find the acid open.exe file and delete that sucker!

**pugs** · August 29th, 2004, 06:58 PM

Hello,

Run Hijack This and select the following entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SettingsBolt] C:\PROGRA~1\JUGSWI~1\Acid open.exe

Select fix

Boot into safe mode by tapping f8 right after the BIOS loads

delete this file
C:\PROGRA~1\JUGSWI~1\Acid open.exe

delete this folder
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

Reboot normally

That Acid Open looks very much like a LOP infection, not necisarrily L2M. I saw you have spybot, update spybot and run it. If you dont have the newest version get it. Then post a new Hijack This log.

**computer Rookie** · August 30th, 2004, 06:04 AM

InTheWayBoy, Thanks for the info and your help!!! NooNoo I just can't find that file "acid open.exe" unless im doing something wrong. Pugs, I did run a fix on the top two and there gone I searched for the viewpoint folder it found two and deleted both now what to do with that "bad" file.

**pugs** · August 30th, 2004, 06:30 AM

Two things,

First make sure hidden and system files are shown.
To do that follow these instructions"
1.On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.
2.Click the View tab.
3.Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

Then look again for C:\PROGRA~1\JUGSWI~1\Acid open.exe

If its not there thats ok it may be gone.

Post a new Hijack This log to be sure.

**computer Rookie** · August 30th, 2004, 08:27 PM

All right everyone thanks for the help! Pugs, NooNoo, and InTheWayBoy mission complete.The top two no longer show up in the hijckthis log and the folder,and file gone also thanks again!!!
