Click here to download CWShredder and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.
Click here to download ServiceFilter, a little script by rand1038 that reveals potential unauthorised running services in your system. Download, unzip and double-click ServiceFilter.vbs (you may need to enable your antivirus program to run the file). This script will create a text file named Post_This.txt in the same folder as the script itself has been saved - copy and paste the contents of Post_This.txt in your next reply here.
The script did not recognize the services listed below.
This does not mean that they are a problem.

Unzip it to the desktop and run it. First press *Find Updates* and let it download them (I think we are on Ref. file #21 on that one). Then follow the instruction to scan and fix.

It was normal mode.
I think I may be clean. So far so good.
Do I need to remove virtual machine?
I use addaware
Spybot & hijackthis to keep a check.
I really appreciate all your help.
That thing has plagued me for about a year.
So far so good.
I think its really nice of you to take your time walking people through all these steps to help them out. Im gonna hold on to these programs and hopefully be able to fix it if it ever happens again.
Again Thank You Very Much!
If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster,Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.
Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.
