hi,

I'm having problems getting rid of 'softomate' which continually keeps coming up on my Ad-Aware scan... even though I quarantine it,then delete it still keeps coming back..

Ive' also:

1. turned off system restore
2. scanned with trend, A-squared, AVG, spybot etc..
3. removed object
4. rebooted with system restore off
5. ran adaware scan couple of times, as soon as I put IE up, and ran a scan, softomate reappeared.

I did a 'system scan only' with hijackthis, this is the log:

Hi dealtry,
QUOTE
C:\Program Files\Ad-Aware SE Plus\Ad-Aware.exe
Please post a fresh Ad-Aware scan log. Make sure that you are using Ad-aware SE Plus Build 106r1
(If not, then you will heed to uninstall your old Ad-Aware first, then install SE Plus)
This can be accessed from the Customer Center
Should you encounter any problems when uninstalling, please see this post in the Lavasoft Support Forums > FAQ's > Ad-Aware SE > Technical section of the forum:
I Am Unable To Uninstall My Ad-aware Program. I Get The Message "can't Find Install.log"
Should you have had to install SE, use the WebUpDate to get the latest Definition file SE1R124 19.09.2006
To do this Open Ad-aware, click the WebUpDate button at the top right hand side of the Ad-aware screen (The world globe). Click "Connect"
Ad-aware will then download the latest Definition file for you.
To make sure it is updated , look at the main Ad-aware screen, and look under "Initialization Status"
It should say the Latest Definition file. Then scan doing a "Full Scan".

-Configuring Ad-Aware Full-Scan
1) Start Ad-Aware SE
2) Press the start button and in the Preparing System Scan window select the option "Perform full system scan", click on "Search for negligible risk entries" so that it shows a red cross i.e. is deselected and click on "Search for low-risk threats" so that is shows a green tick i.e. is selected.
3) Click the next button to start the full scan, when the scan finishes click on the show logfile button. In the log window right mouse click and select "Select all..." then right mouse click again and select "Copy to clipboard" then paste in a reply to this thread.

Due to the volume of help requests, the expert log-readers may take a day or two to get to you. Please be patient and don't "bump" your post, as they are read from oldest to newest. smile.gif

looks like i've cleared it up myself guys..... did an ad-aware scan, found out where the little
critter lived, went into regedit to find it and then deleted it, it came back so I went back in to the register and modified it first and then deleted it...no trace of it...I have done about 4 scans since then (with IE on and off, also turned the pc off and then on again) still no sign.......and this morning did the same, it looks like its gone....

It may still be hiding.... please advise if a hijackthis and ad-aware log file is still necessary for your perusal..

cheers,
Madi

Hi dealtry,

Yes, it would be best to post both logs - please remember, once posted, not to "bump" your post. They are read from oldest to newest, and re-posting just shunts you to the back of the queue again smile.gif

Regards,

Spike

PS: Glad to hear that it appears to be sorted out biggrin.gif

Hi,

I had someone else recently with the same problem. There are no files found so this is not an active infection but something left behind in the registry (so it really can't hurt your computer - is more of an annoyance).
Your HijackThis log is clean and no toolbars at all there either.

If you can't delete it you may need to take ownership or change permissions on the key:

To assign permissions to a registry key
