I'm looking at someone's computer for them with a hijacked browser. I've ran Hijackthis and removed all the R1 and R0 entries but they returned on reboot. I've ran SpyBot and Spysweeper and removed everything they could find. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.

You are using an old version of HJT, could you please delete it and rescan the system with the new version and post that log.
When you do, please download HJT into its own folder so backups can be made.

example: C:\MyHJT\HJT.exe or C:\MyDocuments\MyHJT\HJT.exe

Thanks, MrC
Thanks for the reply but I got it fixed for the most part. I deleted the items in HJT and also deleted the file it was referring to. There are still some quirks but the homepage is fixed. It was good enough for me to give back to him.
