Highlight each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, and choose Remove :

Weatherbug
AWS

When you are done with it for the season, and have your backups, remove these two also, in this order:
Taxwise 2008

It's also a good idea to delete the C:\UTS08\ folder after the Taxwise Uninstalls.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Run the RSIT Scanner
Please download the Scanner http://images.malwareremoval.com/random/RSIT.exe and save it to your desktop. The icon will be named RSIT.exe

( Default location for both files is C:\rsit\ )
Copy/Paste the contents of both log.txt and info.txt into your next post please. Use two posts if you prefer.

Let me know how it goes.

[mnhall1]

HI. first of all, thank you for your help. you guys are awesome for helping laymen like me. as far as the taxwise program goes, i am not done for the year. can i leave it?

[askey127]

Sure. It's not a problem in any way.

[mnhall1]

ok. then i am deleting the rest of the programs and do the rest of instructions. will post shortly. thanks

[mnhall1]

weirdest thing....my computer wont let me delete adobe or avg. dont have weatherbug

[askey127]

Ok.
Just do the rest of the instructions that you are able, and let me know what works and what doesn't.
Sometimes Weatherbug is llisted just as "AWS". That's why I included it.

Due to a lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
