I couldnt open any internet based programs and something about api.browser.com kept popping up. i was finally able to use a browser and download Hijack This but then i got the two screens that follow that ive never seen. i also got a blank ok box inbetween the two. any suggestions? thank you very much.
Also vuze and winzip driver updater were newly installed, possibly by my roomate? im not sure but i did not install these so im wondering where they may have come from.
*EDIT* I was able to get a log. i previously used HijackThis with XP, was unaware i had to run as administrator.
Also this is a newly built PC that until tonight i have not experienced problems with. Im very careful but as i said my roomate does have access to it as well. I have run an AVG and malwarebytes scan with no luck.
