Hi Fred,

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

The reason is that you'll get reinfected almost as soon as we finish.
Update and post another log here in this thread.

Okay,
I've got all the updates I can find from MS.
Here's the new scan.
What's next,
Fred

I think we're doing well here,
ZAD.exe and system32/omybdlr.exe have been eliminated somewhere along the line. The adresses listed under 017 are legitimate according to my ISP, charter pipeline. The computer starts up in approximately half the time it did when we started this process. No strange messages,minimal popups. Life is good.

Here's the latest scan
