dubolom hijack

How do I get rid of the dubolom hijack.  I have run the following:

Hijack this
Ad Aware
CW Shredder
Trojan Hunter
McAffee Antivirus

I can delete the registry entries, but they keep returning.  I also get a Win Min error on shutdown.

Hi soundmannn,

Please post the hijackthis logfile.

Another thingy...

have you tried the manual uninstall here:

If that doesn't work, something is starting it, and that should be visuable in the hijackthis logfile.
Cleaning your computer  - and protecting it in the future -  can't be answered with one issue.

As you can see in my url below there are at least 7 different issues, where you should decide 1 of each, or else you does'nt protect your computer at all.

The reason is, that the many different programs not always protects against each other, and each of them does'nt protect equally.

It's very important, that you study all of these issues in my knowledgebase (some of them are freeware):

BTW: I'm using the Trend Micro virus-suite, and SoftScan , and haven't got any of my servers or computers infected since 1999.

Thanks to those who responded.  The problem seems to be fixed for now.  I'm not sure what I did that finally stopped the dubolom registry entries from reappearing, but I think somewhere between using Adaware, Spybot and Hijack-This, it's staying away for now.  I recommend Spybot, because it stays resident and alerts you to every registry change.

I'm not sure how the grading and points work here, but I appreciate the responses I'ver received.
