Okay her is my lastest post. When I rebooted in safe mode I could not find 2 of the files that you listed. XTDICBJID.DDL AND SEARCHBAR.HTM. Those two windows explorer could not find even though I had show hidden files checked. Hope this makes sense to you.Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.2

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

Micah; Thank you for all your help. I am somewhat lost when it comes to problems on our computer. I know just enough to be able to cause a problem but not enough to fix it. I appreciate your patience and assistance on this problem. I went to the recommended sites and did the checks and downloads as you suggested. I hope I don't have any more problems. Thanks again for your help and the tomcoyote forum. as always; notverysmart.
