Create a folder where you would like the HijackThis file to reside. It is important that you download this file to its own folder as this folder will be used when HijackThis makes backups. If you run it out of a compressed file, like a zip file, instead of running it from a directory, the backups will not be made.

Please unzip Hijack this by a right click on the zipped folder click extract all here. Then delete the folder with the zipper on it.

Little Eagle,
Things are running much better. It does not appear that I am getting any pop-ups as of now. I ended up doing the process you described twice. The second time I was able to get all the items removed. The overall system performance is much improved as well. The only thing I could not find were a couple of the files you listed maybe being hidden. vclif.exe dkrigac.exe and wxolml.exe could not be found anywhere.

Here is a copy of my latest log file for your review.
Once again thanks,

Please read through the ideas and free software listed below that will help to keep your computer clean.
Some of these you may have install or may have done already.

Install a firewall.ZoneAlarm FREE

Ensure that an Antivirus is updated weekly and running. AVG antivirus from Grisoft is a very good FREE antivirus program.

Make sure you have the latest critical updates from windows update.

SpywareBlaster will prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 known 'bad' sites into your IE restricted zone so that they cannot install malware on your PC.

Google toolbar has a very good built in popup blocker with a nice search bar. To provide privacy, select disable advanced features when installing.

Check your system for latest virus definitions with an online virus scan.
TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan

Check your system for latest trojan definitions with an Online trojan scan

And also see this link for additional security information.
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Please consider using Firefox
http://texturizer.net/firefox/index.html

Do not let any site install anything if you do not know what it is.


Note any thing that can't be fixed
Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
