369196 2005-07-04 05:04:00 Hi there,

My PC keeps getting an Internet Explorer popup about every 5 minutes, even w hen I'm not connected, nor using IE. I've run Spybot S&D twice with no result, I've run a Norton Antivirus Scan with no result. Here's a copy of my HijackThis logfile:

c:\windows\system32\gisemt.exe

This is the BIG problem.

369198 2005-07-04 06:02:00 my comp used to have a lot of junk that was causing pop ups on it also... i owuld suggest getting something called security task manager (tells u which processes are susispicious and lets u quarintine them)url= www.neuber.com

also u should get ad-aware it scans for spy ware (http://lavasoftusa.com)

if u use ad aware and it finds running processes or in use files and cant delete them cuz there in use/running run windows in "safe mode with command prompt" and run ad aware from command promt with out opening explorer.exe...

that should get rid of all ur problems oh and if u do get Ad Aware make sure u update the data base...

369199 2005-07-04 06:15:00 looks like you have the elite toolbar. you have to remove this while in safemode as it hides itself from explorer while in normall mode which is proberly why you havn't been able to remove it. tweak'e (69)
