first off i guess id need a link to the newest hijack this. everytime i open internet explorer in the top bar it says homepageback.com. this started when i went to a website and my NOD32 anti virus detected a virus. i terminated and thats when this message started. also some programs were downloaded and installed. i got rid of them through add/remove programs but this homepageback.com thing is still there. i also got a message from google toolbar that something was trying to change my search page but it stopped it. ive ran spybot S&D and ad-aware and both have not fixed the problem. little help please!!! thanks!

7. Post Logs. Please post:
   1. c:\rapport.txt
   2. AVG anti-spyware log
   3. A new HijackThis log
   Your may need several replies to post the requested logs, otherwise they might get cut off.
   

ok did everything. i will post the logs in different replies.

problem 1 with instructions was when installing AVG there was no option to uncheck install background gaurd and install scan via context menu.

2 - when cleaning temp internet files and i click on the programs tab there was no reset web settings button.

3 - in customize desktop under web pages there was nothing to check.

4 - when AVG scan was complete i clicked on perform reccomended actions because what you said to do there was no option for that. i could be because in safe mode you don't see the whole AVG screen and can't move it or scroll.

5 - when i run smitfraud and do the delete trusted zone it asks if i want to restore trusted zone and i put Y. hope that was right.

other then that everything was as planned.


oh and a couple questions for you. what would you say are the best free spyware and adware removal programs and whats the best anti virus in your opinion of course. im running ad-aware se and spybot S&D each once a week and i use NOD 32 as my anti-virus.
