It would be really tough for me to know exactly where Mwav is finding those entries
As mentioned, they are doing no harm, just leftovers most likely

No guarantees, but try the following
Download and save WinPFind.zip
UNZIP the contents to your desktop
Don't run it yet

RESTART your Computer into SAFE MODE
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, just before Windows loads
Choose Safe mode from the startup menu and hit Enter

In safe mode
Open the WinPFind folder you extracted to desktop
Double click on WinPFind.exe
Select "Configure Scan Options"
Under Run Addon's on the right hand side
Put a tick in all the empty boxes then click Apply

Click START SCAN
Let this finish, a log will open so you will know it's done
Close out after

Reboot back to Normal mode

Back in Windows
Post the results of the WindPFind.txt located in the WinPFind folder

If they pose no further treat that's cool with me. This computer is running good. But you said prior to that "Let me know how things are running and we'll just do some final cleanup"

Is that what your asking in your last post? Is that the final clean up process? Cause we can just move to that then.

Thank you

If everything is running better
We should flush all your restore points

Go to START>>RUN
Type in

msconfig
Click OK
Click the "Launch System Restore" button
On the Left hand side click on "System Restore Settings"
Put a Check in "Turn off System Restore"
Apply it and OK out of there>>Reboot your computer
[/list]                          
Back in Windows, Go back and take the check out of "Turn off system restore"
This will reenable the System Restore feature and creates a new restore point

*Install  SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 by JavaCool  

*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox

After installation, Check for updates and then click the "Enable all protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"

*Keep up to date on Windows updates (High Priorities)
This is the most important step in keeping your system secure
Make sure you check for updates at least once a month and/or set to Autoupdate
                   
*Make sure your Anti-Virus software is always kept up to date and actively running in the background

*Keep your Firewall protection enabled
A Firewall is also very important
This provides a line of defense against someone who might try to access your computer without your permission

Update and do scan's with your Anti-Spyware programs on a regular basis
In addition, open Spybot 1.4
Click the "Immunize" button on the left>>>OK at the prompt>>Immunzine at the top green cross
Immunize after every update
Do you still have Spybot 1.4 installed? Do you use Ad-Aware?
Don't go downloading a bogus program, just let me know that info

[Mr Bell]

Yes I still have spybot and Lavasoft adware and use them all the time.

This is what happened that started all my problems.Its called myspace. The devil... Need I say more:) But I will just for fun. I clicked on this chicks pic who sent me an invite. Next thing i knew some porn site popped on. And instead of hitting the close out button I missed and hit a pic by mistake. Bam that's when it happened. It downloaded a zlob virus and IE hyjack.I've never so much as had any porn on this computer. I won't even open attachments from my own family let alone some thing like that.

Anyway I'll get to the final cleaning tomorrow morning. Thanks for all your help. I appreciate you very much.

Since these problems appear resolved, I'll lock this topic
