[Ioman]

I would remove the following:

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.greg-search.com
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dit] Dit.exe

What is this? C:\WINDOWS\DitExp.exe

[mainetriguy]

Thanks Ioman. I will try removing those files when I get home from work.

I have no idea what DitExp.exe is. Anybody know?

[Ioman]

I think its a bad program, try deleting that as well.

[sinistar]

I'm pretty sure I'm deleting all the relevant stuff in hijackthis and running cwshredder, adaware, etc... yet it always comes back anyway, and I'm sure I'm not getting into any places where I would have originally picked it up.

when I try to run killbox, I get through all the steps up until going to File > Open !Submit.

I get the following error:

The path '\!Submit' does not exist or is not a directory

and cannot complete the process as described in these forums.

here's my log again:

The same thing is happening to me as Sinistar. I removed the items Ioman suggested using HijackThis including DitExp.exe. I went online and it came right back. I also ran Spybot search and destroy. Any other suggestions? Here is my log now:

[Ioman]

Try removing:

Any idea what this is: C:\WINDOWS\System32\LVComS.exe

[sinistar]

any thoughts on my log, Ioman?

heh,.. my log.

[mainetriguy]

Thanks again Ioman...I will try it tonight.

I just read that the LVComS.exe is a logitech camera detection process. I don't use the camera anymore, so should I remove it as well?

Thanks

[llbbl]

A virus scan wouldn't hurt either.
