Hi, sorry but I'm new to all this so sorry if I don't do it right in advance. I was on my computer earlier and all of a sudden blue screen came up saying stuff was wrong. I restarted, ran Ad-aware and SpywareBegone and neither programs found anything. I ran Avast! and a pop-up came up 4 times during the scan saying that it found "win32 adware-gen." I followed it's recommendation and put it in the chest. After the scan I right clicked on the 4 files and selected repair. Am I okay now? Any help with what to do next would be unbelievably appreciated. Thanks. here is my HijackThis log: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 7:06:57 PM, on 9/5/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16512) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MsMpEng.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 2007\aawservice.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswUpdSv.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\LightScribe\LSSrvc.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\New Boundary\PrismXL\PRISMXL.SYS C:\Program Files\CyberLink\Shared Files\RichVideo.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashDisp.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\TaskSwitchXP\TaskSwitchXP.exe C:\Program Files\UberIcon\UberIcon Manager.exe C:\Program Files\WinExpose-2007-06-17\WinExpose.exe C:\Program Files\Launchy\Launchy.exe C:\Program Files\allSnap\allSnap.exe C:\Program Files\KatMouse\KatMouse.exe C:\Program Files\SpeedFan\speedfan.exe C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe C:\Program Files\WordWeb\wweb32.exe C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Widgets\YahooWidgetEngine.exe C:\Program Files\YzShadow\YzShadow.exe C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Widgets\YahooWidgetEngine.exe C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Widgets\YahooWidgetEngine.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimpl.exe C:\progra~1\mozill~1\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R1 -

Hi, This is one of your issues: O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WinExpose] "C:\Program Files\WinExpose-2007-06-17\WinExpose.exe" I am not finding a lot on it on to know which tool(s) you should run to clean things up. You can try steps 8,9,11,and 14 here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index...5&showtopic=692 Using atf cleaner and superantispyware and see if that cleaning will help with your problem. bluecoal
