Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

-Blazefind Windupdates Adware

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\Program Files\Winad Client-folder
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates-folder

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log please.

Thanks Crunchie! Everything seems to be behaving itself now! Just have to keep the firewall, antivirus & antispyware up to date and the (big) kids off the internet! Your help has been invaluable :) This is a wonderful forum! Peace, Adam
