Hi, I keep getting the message from SG alert that my IE setting has been changed. Everytime I click on the button to restore the old value, it keeps coming back again and again endlessly with the same message.

Here is my HJT log:

Hi askey127,
Thanks for your help.

I disabled WinPatrol according to your instruction. But, I thought it was a good program for removing unwanted cookies.

I tried several times to disable SpywareGuard, but each time upon reboot the icon is still running in the system tray and the same dialog box about SG alert on "IE setting has been changed" re-appeared.

Finally, I just right click SG icon in the system tray which brought up the SG window and clicked on File then Exit without rebooting. From there I opened HJT and ran the scan and checked the 10 items you listed followed by Fix Checked.

Then I went to Add/Remove Programs and removed J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2.

I couldn't find JUSearch in Add/Remove, but I found the folder in C:\Program Files\JUSearch which contained several files including uninstal program.

I also found SG program in Add/Remove Programs and in C:\Document and Setting\Startmenu\Startup\SpywareGuard.

I didn't download the latest version of Java yet and didn't do another scan of HJT until I hear from you regarding what I should do about the SG and JUSearch problems. Please let me know what I need to do before I proceed any further.

Thanks

JW

You can go ahead and Uninstall SpywareGuard, then Reboot.
It's easy enough to re-install.

Then see if you can delete the entire \JUSearch\ folder
Download the newest Java
Then post a new HJT log. Tell what comes up as your home page.

Hi Askey,
I removed SG and uninstalled JuSeaarch successfully. Upon reboot I received no more dialog box from SG alert and the SG icons are no longer in desktop sreen or system tray.

My internet homepage remains the same, i.e. the homepage of my IP Juno.

I clicked on the link you provided to download latest version of Java and found there are several to choose from such as:

    JDK 6 Update 2
    JDK 6 Update 1 with Java EE 5 SDK Update 3 Preview 2
    JDK 6 Update 2 with NetBeans 5.5.1
    Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 2
    plus more...


I didn't know which one to choose so I picked the top one on the list, i.e. JDK 6 Update 2. Then there is the option of offline or online install. The online install is much smaller in byte size, only a few hundred kb vs offline 65.5 Mb. So at first I chose the online version. But, upon running the setup while still online, I received a message that the installation was not successful. So I deleted the setup icon on my desktop by right click on the icon and then delete.

I tried again to download Java on the link you gave but this time my Sygate firewall came up with a dialog box asking whether I allow google.com to access some site for a dll file. Since I didn't respond in time while trying to read the message in details, the connection to Java site was unseccessful and I received a page stating that it cannot open the webpage.

After several attempts I managed to get to the Java download page again but the download was very slow (transfer rate was around 5.6kb/second) that it required 3 hrs and 30 min. My last check was 2 hours later and it said 1 hr 30 min remaining. Three and the half hrs later when I checked back, my internet connection was disrupted and I had to try agin to do the download from square one. But, since it again required more than 3 hrs for the download, I just grew frustrated and had to cancel it for now.

Anyway here is my new HJT log:

The correct one is this : Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 2
I believe it's the fourth one down.
Any others should be removed first.
Sorry I should have made it more clear.

Your log looks clean.

Thanks Askey. I downloaded and installed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 2 successfully.

Do you think I can enable WinPatrol now or should I remove it and download another one?

You can go into Start, All Programs, WinPatrol, WinPatrol to start the program again.
You should be good to go.
If you have any other questions or any problems later, we will be here.

Thank you very much for your help, Askey.

One more thing if you don't mind. The WinPatrol has listed a startup list of programs that start up upon reboot. Can you help me to determine those that do not need to be in the startup list?

johnwoods,
All these functions can be accessed from Start, Programs, whether or not they start automatically.
If you click Remove while any one of them is highlighted, it will no longer start automatically.

iTunesHelper, iTunesHelper.exe - If you call up iTunes all the time, then leave it. Otherwise remove it from startup.

LSBWatcher, lsburnwatcher.exe - This gives you Lightscribe labels (the ones shaded into the surface of CDs/DVDs) available at all times.
If you only use it occasionally, or not at all, I would remove it from startup.

EabServr.exe /Start - This enables the Compaq "Easy Access" buttons to work . You may or may not care.

HP Software Update, HPWuSchd2.exe This is primarily to send you update notices. I would remove it from startup

SunJavaUpdateSched - this Update service doesn't work very well and I would remove it from startup.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\jusched.exe

MSMSGS - Unless you get system messages from a System Administrator on a Network, you can remove this from startup
msmsgs.exe /background

FinePixViewer (Fuji) - If you need this at your fingertips, keep it in startup. Otherwise remove it.
QuickDCF.exe

Microsoft Office StartUp OSA9.EXE You don't need this and can remove it from startup.
