Question : Banneradsgalore Spyware

Here recently I bought a new HP laptop and over the past week, this ad keeps popping up. I have run Spybot, Ad-Aware, Windows Defender, AVG 8 Antivirus, and when they run, they usually find and remove the infected files or adaware. However, on this occurrence, I can not get rid of these annoying popups. Also, since this has been happening, my browser freezes periodically when surfing, so I assume my browser is being hijacked. It's not like I havent cleaned off spyware before, it just seems like this time I can't get rid of it for the life of me. I have attached a pic of what the popup looks like. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I do not want to back everything back up and reinstall the fresh HP image. Thank you

Answer : Banneradsgalore Spyware

Run HijackThis by right clicking on the program and selecting Run as administrator. Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side of the entries between the lines:

---------------------------------------------------------
O2 - BHO: banneradsgalore browser optimizer - {6e3e9ae0-5933-b96b-9abc-ead40a665814} - C:\Windows\SysWow64\{43be8adc-24b0-7aa9-1efe-71b66b3eeea6}.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{934ee4ec-6862-8847-9a7a-7d6fcc1c1456}] C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe "C:\Windows\SysWow64\{43be8adc-24b0-7aa9-1efe-71b66b3eeea6}.dll" DllStart
---------------------------------------------------------

Then close all windows except HijackThis and press Fix checked.

Then delete the following file:
C:\Windows\SysWow64\{43be8adc-24b0-7aa9-1efe-71b66b3eeea6}.dll

Reboot and run HijackThis again to make sure they are gone, post the new log and let us know how it's running.
