Hello chucky , Welcome to the forum.

This is what I suggest you do.

Download CWShredder from my signature below. Unzip it on the desktop.
Open CWShredder and with ALL other windows closed, click fix.


Go here and run at least one of the online scans, allow them to delete whatever they find:

TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan
Note any thing that can't be fixed
Reboot when done.

Next:

Even if you've already run these, make SURE they're up-to-date and run per instructions.

Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of Spybot V 1.3 and Ad-aware SE Build 1.05 . All are free and available below.

Download Spybot, install and update. Then download Ad-aware, install, and update.

Spybot:

Install the program and launch it.

Go to Start > Programs >Spybot > Search & Destroy and choose Spybot S&D

Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
Next click the button "Check for Problems"
When Spybot is complete, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.

Ad-Aware FULL SCAN:

Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window :Click Start then under Select a scan Mode check Perform full system scan.
Next deselect Search for negligible risk entries.
Now to scan just click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose select all from the drop down menu and click Next)

Empty Recycle Bin

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

LDTate - hi and thanks for your time and effort, it's much appreciated.

Ran the programs as advised and the results were:

cwshredder came up with nothing.

Ran the TrendMicro and eTrust scans online and they both found nothing.

Ran Spybot S&D which found Cydoor and fixed it.

Ran AdAware and found nothing.

Rebooted and ran HijackThis and the new log is below.

Computer is running ok but IE opens with http://v73.us/10095/ as home page which is a search engine (although the search command still opens msn search). When surfing some of the links in pages that are opened (eg tomcoyote forums) are also hijacked - instead of taking you to the post or link you click, you get taken back to the search page. Supergeek hero warns me of that now because it is a numbered URL only - Removed URL virus attachment Also I have to access my work ms outlook webmail in Basic mode because it won't display the messages in Premium mode.

Hi again,
You're right, after the big one goes off I think only cockroaches and these pests will survive.
Ran HJT and checked and fixed them but after a reboot they were still there. Rebooted in safe mode and did the same again (and there was nothing in the recycle bin to empty). Rebooted and they are still there.
IE is still behaving with MSN homepage and webmail accessible and inpages with several links none of the links appear to be hijacked anymore.

Ok not sure if this is how you want to see it (all of the entries are checked). These are taken from the list under the Startup tab when you enter msconfig: Autolaunch iTunes Helper DADALA~1 (PC Suite) TRAYAP~1 (Nokia) ccApp UrlLstCk SNDMon GeekSuperHero msmsgs ctfmon wwDisp ShieldWorker PsiWin2.3Connection Server D-Link Air Plus Xtreme G Configuration Utility Adobe Reader Speed Launch

There is no "Search Portal" but there is a "Search Assistant" under Add/Remove Programs (which I did not remove). Autolaunch is my Iomega HotBurn - my plug in CD burner
