Hello gininmyteacup, Welcome to TomCoyote forum.

What is OmniPass? Do I need it?

I would say that password security is important.
http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintas…brary/Omniserv/

What can I install for maximum protection of my computer?

Once we finish with this cleanup I will have this information for you, and you are not in bad shape now.

1) HP has cluttered up your browser so you can see lots of HP adds, and I will remove the search junk. If you want to keep it, pass over it, not malware just clutter.

2) Read about this item: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE
http://castlecops.com/startuplist-180.html

3) and the 09 Web-Related items: http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/pe…px?id=453073177 There is much information available via a Google search, I consider it a resource waster at the least and most folks do not even know they are wasting the resources.

4) I suggest you do this: SCAN with HijackThis and put a check in front of these lint items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows then click on "Fix Checked"

You may have to search for this one, I think it is C:\Programs, RIGHT click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete this file:

ALCXMNTR.EXE >>> file

Empty the recycle bin and restart your computer. Stay in this thread, use ADD REPLY not New Topic. Post a new log along with any feedback you have for me. If you are still clean I will have the information you asked for.

Thanks…pskelley
