Welcome to the forum.

and you are………?

HowToShowHiddenFiles - <—enable this


Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\\msnistehrwn.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows kev Messenger] mskev.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [Windows kev Messenger] mskev.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [msdev control] msdevctrl.exe

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Delete these files if found:

msnistehrwn.exe <—search for them
mskev.exe
msdevctrl.exe

Reboot and post a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look. MrC
