Hello candleman, Welcome back to TomCoyote forum. Your version of HJT is very old and I need to see a log using the newest version as it shows areas that can be infected this version does not show. This is what I would like you to do if you still want help.

Download CCleaner from here: http://www.ccleaner.com/ please take the time to read the instructions on the download page so you will know what you are doing when I ask you to run it later.

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:

Free online scans
Run this free online scan, have it fix or clean anything it locates. Keep a record of any item the above programs or this one locate and can't remove. I need the exact name and location. You may get asked to allow an ActiveX with this one, please allow it the program is safe.

Now run CCleaner as per the instructions.

Go here: http://www.malwareremoval.com/downloads.html Line items 1 or 2 download the new version of HJT V1.99.1, you have a choice of the download you are comfortable with. Once installed make sure any old versions are deleted, then open HJT and choose "Do a system scan and save a logfile". Wait until the logfile is created then copy and paste that log into this thread. There will be more to do.

Thanks…pskelley
