Thanks Little Eagle.

Below is my new hijack this log.

At the moment I periodically get a dialog box advertising a premium line number. I also noticed that a that this dialog is generated by a file called sarb.exe.
I also noticed the saristar.dll.

The saristar.dll is still present after I took all the steps you recommended. Although it does not show up in the new hijack this log.

Is there anything else I can do??

Thanks again
