Hi,
For the past few weeks I have been getting popups while browsing the web that are quite annoying. I first used AdAware to remove the problem (which it identified as FlashTrack, which is somehow associated with registry keys called bredobj). When I opened Internet Explorer the probelem came right back. Then I followed Symantecs instructions, which involve shutting off system restore (I have windows xp) and deleting the registry keys manually. Same thing. Now I downloaded spybot which finds it and deletes it but then it keeps coming right back. Any ideas on what is going on here and how I can get rid of it for good? Thanks.
Create and Unzip to a folder not your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Unzip the download (using a piece of software like: Winzip)
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log in a text file, and post it in the CCSP "Spyware - Hijack Related" forum:
