I am a new user and this is my first post. Not sure of how this works but I was recommended by a friend who works in an IT department to get highjack this and I have followed it to here. Attached is my log and I would appreciate any help out there on what to select.

Hello fairway7

Welcome to TomCoyote and thankyou for being so patient. I need to see a different type of log then we can have a go at clearing things up for you :)

1. Download Service Filter
2. Extract it to it's own folder. <— very important, it won't work properly from inside the zip
3. Click on ServiceFilter.vbs
4. A text file called POST_THIS will be in the same folder
5. Please use Edit>Select all then Edit>Copy to obtain the contents
6. Please Post them into this thread using 'Add Reply'

Could you also post a fresh hijack log please. Thanks
Nellie2, Thank you so much for the response as I wasn't sure how long it might take. Unfortunately this has been my work computer and driving me nuts. So much so that after two weeks of my highjacking, I sent the computer to corporate to have them reinstall the whole system. It looks like I am clean and free again. Therefore I will save your time for someone else who is frustrated and crazy like I was. Your service is an invaluable one and I appreciate that there is somewhere to go for help. Please close my call case. thanks Jamie
Thank you for replying and I'm sorry I couldn't help

Here are some suggestions to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future. I strongly recommend installing the following :

Spyware Blaster - It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.
Spyware Guard - It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
IE-Spyad - IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
I also recommend reading this article written by Tony Klein How did I get infected in the first place
