Access your Add/Remove programs and remove if found
Viewpoint <-may be more than one instance
WILDTANGENT <-may be more than one instance
Surf Accuracy

Restart your comptuer afterwards

Back in Windows
Download and Install the free version of Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
Ensure you have this version or the paid version
Open Ad-Aware, ensure to click the  check for updates now link and Connect to download the latest updates
Click START
Click the radio button to Perform a Full system scan then click NEXT
When it's finished scanning
At this point you should either right click on the screen and and choose the "Select All" Objects option or individually put a checkmark in each objects checkbox
click on the Next button. Ad-Aware SE will now present you with a confirmation box as to whether or not you would like to remove the objects you have just selected. Press the "OK" button

RESTART your computer to finish the cleaning process
===================================

Download and Install Spybot 1.4 from
HERE
 or HERE
Don't activate the Tea Timer when installing, it's a great feature but can get in the way
of any fixes we may still have to do
After installation--Click the UPDATE button on the left
SEARCH FOR UPDATES on the right
Check, and download all updates
Click the Search & Destroy button on the left
Check for Problems---When the Scan is complete
FIX all selected promblems in RED

RESTART the computer to finish the cleaning process

Note: If you have problems running either Ad-Aware or Spybot in Normal mode
Please restart into Safe mode
to run the scan
With ad-Aware, before running the scan
Uncheck beforehand
"Search for Neglible Risk Entries"
and
"Search for low risk threats"

With Spybot, instructions are the same

Remember to restart the computer after cleaning with either one

Run another scan with hijackthis afterwards in Normal mode and post a fresh log

Thank you for your reply.

You said:  WILDTANGENT <-may be more than one instance

I tried removing this 10 times or more.  It is not leaving my list in add/remove programs.  Do I keep doing it until it's gone?  The otherswent away after one or two times.

I already have Ad-aware but I will download Spy-Bot without teatime while waiting for your reply and do the scans in the order you suggest after I hear back from you.  I am assuming the order is important.

Thank you.

Is Wild Tangent giving you a prompt when removing from add/Remove programs?
You could try uninstalling it in safe mode
Don't let it trouble you too much, we'll get it later

Make sure you have the latest version of Ad-Aware please

Go ahead and run the scan with Spybot also, remember too restart after running the scans

Post back a fresh hijackthis log after you have ran both scan's
Do what you can, please respond with a fresh hijackthis log  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Can you do the following please

Open Hijackthis>>Open Misc tools Section>>Open Process Manager
End process on the following
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WILDTANGENT\APPS\CDA\GAMEDRVR.EXE

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WildTangent CDA] "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\GameDrvr.exe" /startup C:\PROGRA~1\WILDTA~1\APPS\CDA\CDAENG~1.DLL

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [a0tmg10v] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\a0tmg10v.exe


The next ones are not needed on startup, considered resource hogs, programs work fine without them, you should fix them too
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QTTASK.EXE" -atboottime
O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Access your Add/Remove programs and try removing WildTangent again
If it won't remove, don't worry about this now

Restart your computer afterwards

Back in Windows, find and delete this folder
C:\Program Files\WildTangent <-folder

Run another scan with Hijackthis and post a fresh log

Can you please try an Online Virus scan at Panda's
Let's see if there's anything else hiding
If you can't get Panda's to run, try at either Trend Micro's or BitDefender

You can use the link below in my signature
Please use Internet Explorer to run the scan
When it's done can you save the Report please and post it back here with a fresh hijackthis log

Also, when was the last time you defragged your system?
Just want to see how your doing on regular maintenance

Unable to run any of those scans..............http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

Panda said something about Active X controls  - I changed all my security  settings for Active X to enable and tired again got same message.
Trend Micro would not scan wanted a higher version of IE.  Tried to download an update and my computer would hang and then gave "unable  to find server" messge.
BitDefender said   "this site unable to host this Active X control. Please contact webmaster."

Want me to try in Firefox?  It seems to run fine.  It's IE that's giving me problems.

Have not defragged for probably three months. You want me to do it now or after clean?


Aprreciate all your assistance.

I was going to ask you to do this at a later point, but I think we've come to that time
Please do the following
First, 3 months since your last defrag, please do another one now
You need to visit Windows updates
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/thanks.asp?
Run a Scan on your computer, Download and Install ALL latest Critical updates and  Service packs
Don't install Recommended unless something preferred
After installing latest updates Restart your computer
Re-Visit Windows updates and keep installing all critical updates until you have them all installed
Restarting the computer when prompted

Come back here and post a fresh hijackthis log and let me know how everything's running

Degragged.

Tried to update windows.  The page was not working received error message.  Followed steps in Help to remedy the problems and the last step said "Install updated ActiveX controls."  It does not tell me how.  Can you tell me?  Currently when I go to Windows Update it tells me page will not display properly due to Active X Controls ofr that page. so therefore does not search fro updates to install.

Thanks again.

This is the error message I get when trying to update Windows:
"The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed:
You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled."

I did not click no to any certificates and I tried it with secuirty settings at low and medium- get same message.  

There is a line below this with clickable link where I foudn information about update not working followed the steps and got the following:

"Visit the Windows Update Web site to install new copies of the ActiveX controls."

This is what I mentioned in previous post.  Since updater is not working I can't seem to get to link about ActiveX controls.

Can you ensure the following are true
Access your Internet options via Control Panel

Under the Programs tab, click the "Reset Web Settings" button

Under the Security tab,
Check your 4 areas
Highlight Internet>>Click Default level>>OK it
Continue doing the same with Local Intranet>>Trusted and Restricted

Make sure to Restart IE if you have it open
Then go back to Windows updates and try it again
If no go, you could try downloading the latest version of IE from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en
Save the installer to desktop
Close down IE and install the latest version

Restart the computer after installation then try Windows updates again

Let's try the following, follow it closely, you may have a corrupt Active X from Windows updates
I see you may of got Panda's active x to install???
Did you run a scan???

Please do the following
Most of this is taken from Microsoft, Just rewording it a bit
==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup
Give the link time to load or try it twice, it may be busy
Alternate Download link
==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup!
Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files
Retsart your computer

Back in Windows
1.      Click Start, click Settings, and then click Folder Options.
2.   Click the View tab.
3.   Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer, double-click drive C, double-click the Program Files folder, and then double-click the WindowsUpdate folder.
Double-click the V4 folder
Under the V4 folder delete everything EXCEPT for Iuhist.xml
NOTE: If you cannot find the V4 folder
Under the WindowsUpdate folder
Click Edit, click Select All and then press DELETE

NEXT:
Click Start, click Find, and then click For Files or Folders. Search for the files named
iuctl.dll and Iuengine.dll.
Delete all copies of these files.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files
Remove the Active x related too Windows updates
It will probably be named Update Class
If unsure>>Right click on it and left click properties
It will give info related too Windows updates
Again, right click on it and remove it

Close down IE if open and restart it
Revisit Windows updates and allow to install new Active x if prompted and then
try downloading and installing all latest critical updates and SP's

Did all the steps you requested.  

When I return to Windows update I again get the message:

"Your security settings prohibit running Actvie X controls on this page.  As a result page may not display correctly."  It has an Okay button.  This actually appeared twice.

Any suggestions now?  All my security, trusted sites, etc are set to windows default currently.

Panda scan never ran either same error message as before in earlier post.  Something to do with Active X controls.

Thank you.

You may want to check out this link and see if it's any help
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;836942
It looks like you may of already seen that link

You could try a repair of Internet Explorer
Close IE
Access your add/Remove programs and
Highlight "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools"
Click to Remove
Select Repair Internet Explorer
When it's done Restart your computer

If that won't work and your sure you double checked your Active X settings
May have to remove IE and reinstall

Yes I had seen that link before.

I tried to repair IE as you suggested.  
"Access your add/Remove programs and
Highlight "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools""

I did not have that listing I had:
"Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools"

When I click remove I get an error message:
Error in setupwbv.dll  
Missing entry:IE6Maintenance

Thanks for sticking in there with me!
