Hello joeski57, Welcome to TomCoyote forum. We have a little work to do. First I want to be sure you are running HijackThis from a drive…not a floppy or a CD. Thanks.

1) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Take the time to review the instructions on the download page so that when I ask you to run it you will know what you are doing.

2) You have SpySweeper onboard and it may stop the HJT fix we must make, please turn it off until you are finished with HJT.

3) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

SideStep Malware
Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

(I see you have TrojanHunter onboard, if you have checked for trojans then you only need to run this online scan if you wish a double check)
Let's check for trojans in case any are hiding, run this free online scan, scan the whole system and set it to clean or fix anything it locates. Let me know what it finds and the exact name and location of anything it locates but can't remove. You may be asked to install an ActiveX, please do so as this program is safe and it can not run without it.

Run CCleaner then restart the computer and post a new log in this same thread along with any feedback you have. Let us know how you are running.

Thanks…pskelley
