Yes you did. ;)
Things move fast here. you may have to check a few pages.

pybot 1.3. when spybot finshed I get 5 DSO exploits ,fix problem reboot and the 5 DSO exploits reappear.

Just a bug.

Please click here for instructions on how to set up a HijackThis folder.
But your log looks clean. B)

Please read through the ideas and free software listed below that will help to keep your computer clean.
Some of these you may already have installed 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. But you only need one AV

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 every week or two.
TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan

Check your system for latest trojan definitions with an Online trojan scan also every week or two.

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

Please consider using Firefox

Little Eagle Thank you for resopnding so fast. I feel better having some check that log. I fixed the cable modem problem. It was hardware related. I had a toshiba PCX1000 (4years old) replaced it with a motorola sb5100 . took me from 300K to 2.6M . I never had a problem with it until my provider upgraded from a 2M service to 3M. I guess the old box couldn't handle it. I'll take you up on checking the wifes computer, but first I'll have to install HJT Thanks again
