Post #1
I have run, spysweeper, adaware, spybot, Mcafee, and A2 and I can't seem to locate the hijacker. Periodically my browser will jump to ad-w-a-r-e.com on its own. This all started a few days ago when I got infected with Look2me, but as far as I can tell I have been able to remove Look2me. here is my Hijack This log.

Disconnect from the internet.

Be sure that all windows are closed. Click on START-> RUN. Copy paste the following as it is and click OK.

When I am using Internet explorer, another or several other IE's open on thier own and go right to websites such as AD-w-a-r-e. com and several casino and car loan websites. Sometimes it takes half an hour for it to happen, sometimes just a matter of seconds. It is sometimes 1 new IE page, or sometimes many open up all at once, and when you try to close them more and more just keep coming until I unplug from the internet or shut it off via my firewall

That last proceedure caused some problems, when I tried to reboot, my computer wouldn't fully. It shut down but didn't restart, instead the monitor said, self test. Check PC or cable. So I reset it and then it rebooted to a blue screen that said something about needing to go to a website called Hardware-update.com. SO i reset again and it finnaly booted up. The file that your originally told me to delete,O20 - Winlogon Notify: ModuleUsage - C:\WINNT\system32\o4nsle571h.dll was not there after the first restart, it appears to have changed it name, and seems to do so with every restart. Also I have been getting a windows error message popping up stating { An eception occured while trying to run "c:\winnt\system32\moxml.dll", dll get version}
