Great job!!! :thumbup:

The log looks good.

Please check for these files, and delete them if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\mljjh.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmkjj.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hjjlm.ini2
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hjjlm.bak2
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hjjlm.ini
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hjjlm.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hjjlm.bak1

They will be "hidden" so you must show hidden files when looking for them.

Then empty them from the recycle bin, and you're "good to go".

GOD bless you!!!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
