Hello esinedx, Welcome to TomCoyote forum. If you are still looking for help please follow these direction.

1) You do have a nice assortment of malware onboard and it will take a little effort to clean it up. Let's start with this one:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\ERRORGUARD\ERRORGUARD.Exe Here is what CastleCops has to say: http://castlecops.com/startuplist-6354.html
Use Add Remove programs to uninstall this item, here is a good rouge spyware list you can consult before installing unknow programs: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

2) Just to be sure, please tell me the version of CWShredder you ran, also update the software, click on FIX not scan and run it again, mention the results and the version in the next post.

3) We need to run our big guns for cleaning out malware. Ad-aware and Spybot can get the areas we can't reach with the HJT tool. I am going to give you links to tutorials and it is important that you take the time to review the information, then to download, update, configure exactly as in the tutorials and remove what is suggested in the tutorials. Make notes of anything these two programs can't remove, the exact name and location of the item. Run Spybot first, if you receive any DSO Exploit notifications, ignore them and please do not activate TeaTimer at this time, once you are clean you may activate it. If Spybot removes anything reboot before running Ad-aware SE Personal.
Spybot:

Ad-aware:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial48.html

Free online scans
Now I want you to use these free online scans, set them to fix or clean and please let me know what they find and if they can't remove something the exact name and location of the item.

Post a new log along with the information I requested and any comments you think I should have. There will be more to do.
Thanks…pskelley
