I tried deleting the normal ones you would expect as spy/mal ware (all search names) and it keeps coming back.  Anyone know what the Remote packet capture protocol (experimental) is?  
Many many thanks in advance for any help!!!

Hi John, please register to the forum and post a fresh Hijackthis log in this thread

Include the Whole log

[Spyware must die]

Hi, just registered, great forums I must say!  

My hijack this version is

* HijackThis v1.99.1 *

I have the problem at home and am at work now, hopefully this is enough info to get started.  I get rid of the basic ones on HT that are obviously bad, but they keep coming back.  I have system restore checked so it does not restore.

I am running winxp.

Thanks again

[guestolo]

Let's try some cleanup on your machine

Download the following tools please, we'll need them in a bit

Make sure that you have the latest version of Cwshredder

I'm going to ask that you post back a number of logs
Try and supply them all, thanks

Post back with a fresh Hijackthis log

I want to check to see if your hosts file was edited
Could you do the following
==Open Hijackthis>>Open Misc tools section>>Open Hosts file manager
Click the "Open in Notepad"
Copy and paste back the whole contents of this notepad file too

Also, let me know if you have Spybot 1.3 installed, I'm just checking

[Spyware must die]

I tried using each step exactly as noted above, no luck.  The only difference I notice now is that my web surfing is slower than a 56k modem http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

My updated log from HJT was clean until I clicked on my IE icon, brought me to microsoft website and got a prompt to allow active x controls to be allowed by trusted website, I clicked NO and immediately got a popup box "your computer may be infected" advertisement.  I had my cable unplugged the whole time until then to make sure it was clean.  ANy ideas with the updated log below?

I cant thank you enough for your time on this, it is appreciated!
