If the following IP's are not your ISP, then check this entry as well:
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{FEA7404D-33B5-4C54-91A3-B9E14CFBF101}: NameServer = 216.184.32.41 216.184.32.42

Then, reboot in safe mode (press F8 on start up) and delete the following files[in bold]:

C:\WINDOWS\host.dll

C:\Program Files\WildTangent\DDC\ActiveMenu\DDCActiveMenu.exe"

It may be possible to delete the entire DDC directory, but you should wait before doing this, someone else should be able to say if this is necessary.

Go here http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and download Adaware 6

Install the program and launch it.

I strongly recommend that you read the help file to familiarize yourself with the program.

Before running the scan look at the top of the main window and you will see a Gear Icon. This is where you configure the settings. Click on that and then in the next window that pops up click on the "Scanning" tab on the left side. Under "Drives and Folders" put a check by "Scan within archives" and below that under "Memory and Registry" put a check by all the options there.
The click on the "Tweak" tab and under "Scanning engine" put a check by "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then......under "Cleaning engine" put a ckeck by "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot" then click "Proceed"

Next in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on "Check for updates now" and get the latest referencefiles.
After getting the latest referencefiles you are ready to scan.

Click "Start" and in the next window make sure "Active in depth scanning" is checked then click "Next" and the scan will begin.

When it is finished let it fix everything it finds.

Restart your computer.

Then go here http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?...p;page=download and download Spybot.

Install the program and launch it.

Before scanning press "Online" and "Search for Updates" .

Put a check mark at and install all updates.

Click "Check for Problems" and when the scan is finished let Spybot fix/remove all it finds.

Restart your computer.

Be sure and take advantage of the "Immunize" feature in Spybot.

Finally go here http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html to download Javacool's SpywareBlaster. Get it and check for updates frequently.
The Immunize feature in Spybot used in conjunction with SpywareBlaster and weekly scans with Spybot and Adaware will go a long way toward keeping you spyware free.

IMPORTANT!: Always check for updated detections and reference files before scanning with Spybot and Adaware, and after scanning with one restart before scanning with the other.

What exactly are these things that you want me to get rid of? Are any of them programs that I need? Just kinda wondering what will happen if I get rid of this stuff?

Firstly, nothing being fixed is necessarily needed on your machine. In fact a couple are considered nasties, I'll post links to show you.
What will happen will be a cleaner system without any browser hijackers or parasites.
I'll go through them for you...

These registry changes by Hewlett Packard change your default browser start/search/searchbar pages, I would change them, although they're not malicious they can be an annoyance

MyWebSearch

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DDCActiveMenu] "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\DDC\ActiveMenu\DDCActiveMenu.exe" -boot
Digital Distribution Channel from Wild Tangent - adware

O4 - Global Startup: Logitech Desktop Messenger.lnk = C:\Program Files\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\LDMConf.exe
This will load on start-up and automatically checks for software upgrades AND new products, services and special offerings from Logitech. It's not absolutely necessary and can contribite to resources being hogged.

Hope this clears it up for you.

as windows boots.............when you here the beep,tap the f8 key repeatedly and you should get the boot menu.
choose safe mode.

did you try deleting in normal mode?

because you "fixed" it with hijackthis it will not start up,so wont be a problem,but really needs to be deleted.

any problems finding the file just let us know.

Ok I will but first let me ask you what this is?

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{B762F5BE-1DFD-40DA-9793-F321C2185D05}\RP31\A0001921.exe

This is what keeps coming up on my avast when it runs. Now what? LOL!!

System Volume Information is a protected OS folder. In order to see it do the following:

1. Open "My Computer"
2. Select Tools -> Folder Options
3. Select the "View" tab
4. Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
5. Scroll down a couple of lines and uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files"

Windows will ask you if you are sure you want to do this. Just click yes. You will now see the System Volume Information folder in the root of your hard drive. You may or may not be able to access this filder. If you try to open it but cannot, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;309531 for various ways in which to make the folder accessible. In order to do this it is recommended that you be logged in as administrator in Safe Mode.

Also, Windows ME and XP utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:\_Restore folder and systemvolumeinformation foder.

This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be unable to delete these files. You must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files from these folders.

Disabling the System Restore Utility (Windows XP Users)

1. Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties.
2. Click on the System Restore tab.
3. Put a check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'.

4. Click the 'OK' button.
5. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes.

now, scan for viruses and eliminate them.

Hope this helps!

:D

I'm not trying to get at you but we'd have been closer to fixing this for you if you had told us this was the problem in the first place. Just posting a HT log isn't much to go on.

Don't worry, just as long as the problem gets solved. Let us know did it get solved? Were you able to delete that file?

After I did everything in the system restore and turned off everything running in the taskbar. I ran avast, this time it didn't say anything. I guess I will find out tomorrow if it is gone. Most of the time avast runs while my screen saver is running. I will let you know. I want to thank you very much for putting up with me!! I will get back later tonight or tomorrow.
