Could you click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'.

Create a new folder called C:\HijackThis, move the HijackThis.exe file into the new folder and run it from there. This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong and avoids them cluttering up your desktop. Then rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.

That's better, bit more to do. Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *hot-searches.com*;*lender-search.com*

Reboot when done and you should be good to go.
