Comment:

I keep having a PUP show up on my computer. My anti virus (McAfee virus scan versin 10.0) finds this the same PUP Dialer-269 and is file gdnUS2218[1].exe. When I click delete, it will sometimes delete other times it will tell me it is protected. Even after I do what I can to get rid of it, it still comes back.

I have ran two adware scanners and have deleted what it has found. Before the PUP is found and I am going to a website this message appears "When you send information to the Internet, it might be possible for others to see this information. Do you want to contiune?"

I think I covered everything so any help would be great.

I have run HiJackThis and have a log file if you need it.

Thanks for your help.

Run this free online scan from Kaspersky http://kaspersky.com/kos/english/kavwebscan.html
Click Accept
When the updates are finished downloading, click Next, Scan Settings
Under Scan using the following antivirus database:, select extended
Make sure the Scan Archives and Scan Mail Bases options are selected as well. Click OK
Click My Computer and wait for the scan to finish
Click Save Report As. Under Save as type:, select Text file. Save this log to your Desktop and post a copy of it here.

Please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified. You can download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed.

Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor at this forum.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.
