Hello JKW, You have some hostile ActiveX plugins, two are:
http://www.spywareguide.com/product_show.php?id=1148
http://www.spywareguide.com/product_show.php?id=572 the third I can't identify but you can bet it is bad also. I will remove these and you can see how you are running. If you still have issues, then we will run some scans to look for stuff HJT can't see. If that sounds good to you, then do this:

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

O16 - DPF: {15AD6789-CDB4-47E1-A9DA-992EE8E6BAD6} - http://static.35mb.com/applet/applet_l.cab

same junk

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

Post a new HJT log for a final look. Let me know if all is well now. There will be instructions in the all clean links pertaining to how to set the ActiveX contols to prevent this from happening again, watch for that information.

Hello JKW,

Just a question, could this spyware have done any damage to my machine? Or could be lurking somewhereelse in the machine?

In this case I do not believe they will cause you any problems, since they are not a virus, more like adware, but it important you change the way you handle ActiveX. Refer to the links I provide.
I did not see the marker in the first log to indicate Selective Startup in msconfig? It appears you must have been? Use HJT to remove this line: R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = it's just clutter, not a problem.

Everything else looks OK, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
http://forums.net-integration.net/index.php?showtopic=3051
http://russelltexas.com/malware/allclear.htm
http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?t=14
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topict2520.html

If you want to take a deep look for stuff that may be there that HJT does not see, use these instructions:
1) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp and please do not run it until I ask you to.

2) Download, update, configure and run these two programs: http://tomcoyote.org/aawsb.php
The newest version of Ad-aware is 1.06 and Spybot 1.04. Even if you have these programs, use the link to get the newest version, update and configure them as in the link. Run Spybot first, reboot then run Ad-aware. Both programs back up what they remove so delete anything the programs say should be removed.

3) Ewido scan:
Please download Ewido Security Suite it is a trial version of the program.
  • Install ewido security suite
  • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
  • The program will now go to the main screen
You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
  • On the left hand side of the main screen click update
  • Then click on Start Update
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.
Ewido manual updates

Once the updates are installed do the following:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.**
    • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
    • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
    • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
    • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
Now close ewido security suite.
**(Ewido for example has been flagging parts of AVG Anti-Virus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk")

4) Run CCleaner, Windows & Applications when you run the registry cleaner (Issues) you will be prompted to backup before you can remove stuff, make sure you do. If you have any questions about the Ewido scan report, post it in this same thread and I will evaluate it for you. Instructions 1 though 4 are optional, your call.
