Hi sparkles, and welcome to TomCoyote!

I'm 'KotaGuy and I will be helping you with your HijackThis log.

First, move HijackThis to its own folder(eg: C:\Program Files\HJT\HijackThis.exe). This is extremely important!. HijackThis creates backup files and cannot do this if run from a Temp folder, zip/rar archive, CD, etc.

Also, this log looks incomplete, almost as if you scanned this in safe mode or you cut the bottom of the log off when copying/pasting. For proper diagnosis, we need a complete log that wasn't scanned in Safe Mode.

Please download Hoster. Save it to its own folder, run the program, press the "Restore Original Hosts" button. Exit when done.

Scan with HijackThis, and with all other browsers and windows closed, place a check beside the following and Fix:

The rest of the 016's can be fixed if you want. They will reinstall the next time you visit the website.

These two 015's:

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.musicmatch.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.musicmatch.com (HKLM)

If you did not put them into IE's Trusted Zone, fix those lines as well.

Reboot Windows normally and post a new log please.
