Hope you noticed that I combined your two threads into this one

Go to Add/Remove and look for and uninstall

Once you have placed all the checkmarks then click the FIX button.
Exit HJT and reboot the computer.

Open My Computer, Drive C, and double-click on the Program Files folder

7) Right-click and delete the folders (if found) for:

FunWebProducts
MyWebSearch
AWS\WeatherBug
MessengerPlus! 3

Reboot the computer.

Run AdAwareSE and Spybot S & D (which you should have downloaded and run earlier if following instructions on PP's link) and fix everything found to be sure you have removed some minor registry entries left behind by the uninstall.

Reboot again and run a new scan with HJT and post the new log here.

I am running AIM. Why? Is that considered Malware? Or is it just AOL?

Neither are malware, just you had two entries of AOL in your log and no others, which IS unusual...I will be honest, it is a PAIN to remove from a computer. Not one of my favorites, that is for sure.

I do use AIM occasionally myself however but that is all. But what I use is a little program called AimLite.
This is, as the download site states;

AIMLite is AOL Instant Messenger but with these features:
· No ads or spyware
· Smaller, sleeker GUI (cleaned up menus, buddylist, instant message windows and more!)
· 100% buddylist viewing
· Created with the minimalistic in mind!

I will run a new log in a moment after I get finished installing this game. I will do all of that when none of my gaming buddies are online.

Joseph, where is your new log?
