LDTate,
I can't run hijackthis, Window's XP keeps killing the program regardless where I download or open this file from. What next?

This is what I suggest you do.
Download CWShredder from my signature below. Unzip it on the desktop.
Open CWShredder and with ALL other windows closed, click fix.
Go here and run online scans (all), allow them to delete whatever they find:
TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan
Note any thing that can't be fixed
Reboot when done.
Next:
Even if you've already run these, make SURE they're up-to-date and run per instructions.
Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of Spybot V 1.3 and Ad-aware SE Build 1.05 . All are free and available below.
Download Spybot, install and update. Then download Ad-aware, install, and update.
Spybot:
Install the program and launch it.
Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D
Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button "Check for Problems"
When Spybot is complete, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.
Ad-Aware FULL SCAN:
