PLEASE help me get rid of Offeroptimizer spyware!

You can try this:

Open the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add two lines:

127.0.0.1 xlime.offeroptimizer.com
127.0.0.1 offeroptimizer.com

According to this page,

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20031114.asp

that should block access to that website.

I'm not too sure about the syntax for the hosts file (someone correct me if it must be written otherwise?), but that should be ok, unless it doesn't allow you to have two of the same ips.

If that does not work, try downloading Hijackthis from

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

That may catch the problem. But it will give you a confusing looking output. If the first solution does not work, post the output of the hijackthis program, and I may be able to tell you what you need to get rid of.

d/l HijackThis from
http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe

to a folder of your choice......doubleclick to open."Scan"...then "Save Log"...when it opens in notepad.......copy (edit..select all..copy) & paste (CTRL-V) the log into your next reply.

HijackThis code
I tried changing the host file and it did not get rid of the problem. Here is the output from HijackThis. Could you please tell me what to do now? Thanks!

Press "Fix Checked"...reboot

I think that fixed it!
Discogail,

Thanks a lot!! I think that fixed the problem. I have been online a few hours and the pop up has not come up so far.

Can somebody help with me with removing offeroptimizer? Here is my log file (I couldn't find the files you told him to remove)

Wow ... a buncha yuckwear there. Download and run Smart Killer and CW Shredder. Then download and install SpyBot S&D. Open the program and have it search for and install its updates, then set it to "Immunize", run it, and let it fix whatever it finds. It will retain an "Undo" log, so if it breaks something, you can fix it. Then download, install, update, and run Ad Aware, also letting it fix whatever it finds. Reboot, and run Spybot and AdAware again. If either finds anything, "fix " it with whichever app found it. Reboot. With no other browser windows open, run HijackThis again, and post your new log.

Here's my new logfile.

One problem I discovered is that Kazaa no longer functions. So, should I recover something? It says that certain stuff that is needed for Kazaa to function are not there. Please reinstall. What do I do?

You've got some work ahead of you. First, Backup Your Registry

Now, Uninstall KaZaa and, after you've done all the following, see HERE[/i] for an alternative spyware-free version of KaZaa, but bear in mind that you'll still be exposing yourself to reinfection if you insist on sharing files with unknown users. If you really insist, you can just go ahead and reinstall KaZaa, but if you do, you're totally wide open to all the crap it brings with itself, and all the crap that uses that crap to weasel its way onto your machine.

Now, go to Add/Remove programs, and get rid of Twaintech, if its there. Here are TwainTech's own uninstall instructions:


Here's an alternate method:

Start > Run (The Run dialog will appear.) Type "regedit" (without the quotes)> click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
1) Use F3 to Find, and if found, Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42}', if it exists.
2) Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper Objects \ {000020DD-C72E-4113-AF77-DD56626C6C42}', if it exists.
3) Exit the registry editor.
4) Reboot.
5) Start Windows Explorer, then find and delete (if itthere):
%WinDir%\twaintec.dll
Note: %WinDir% is a variable; by default, this is C:\Windows (Windows 95/98/Me/XP) or C:\WINNT (Windows NT/2000).
6) Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
7) In Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab -> Reset Web Settings. You can go back later and recustomize this to your personal preferences if you want to, but for now settle for the defaults.
8) Reboot.

Then run HiJackThis again, and if it finds them, have it fix:

Empty your browser cache and delete your cookies and your off-line contents files. Download and install Internet Explorer6 SP1, or, alternately, order the CD from M$ as shown on that page (CD is free, but there is a small shipping charge)

Update (or get) whatever AntiVirus and Firewall you prefer, and configure both for Start With Windows, Autorun and AutoUpdate, if possible.

Once all that's done, and before you reinstall anything else, particularly KaZaa, or do ANY browsing, update and do thorough runs of SpyBot and AdAware, letting them fix whatever they find, then reboot. Run HiJackThis again, making sure no other browser windows are open while its running. That should show things cleaned up pretty well. Post your new log here, if you want to, and somebody'll look it over for you.

Thanks a lot these popups are driving me nutz!

Oh yea, there's some error that comes up when I try to install Internet Explorer 6 SP1. It has some kind of certificate error, and then it quits after a few moments downloading.

"The Microsoft digital signature affirms that software has been tested with Windows and that the software has not been altered since it was tested.

If you want to search for Microsoft digitally signed software, visit the Windows Update Web site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to see if one is available."

This popup message comes up when I run the installer.
