You need to run windows update. Without the most recent updates you will likely be reinfected.

Run another hijackthis scan. Place a check next to the following entries, then close all other windows and click the fix button.

Then reboot into safe mode and delete these files.

C:\WINDOWS\farmmext.exe

You may have to enable hidden files to find all the files.

Then reboot and run another hijackthis scan and post your new log here.
