I have read how to post and I really hope I have this right. Winfixer has been causing grief and I have not been able to locate which is the problem file. Here is my log:

Thank you for the information! I think we (my friend and I) may have gotten it cleaned up. The only problem we ran into was when it says to hit enter, then F6 and then enter again after the first filepath. If you do that, it will not take you to the option to enter the second filepath. For this, we hit enter ONLY after the first filepath and then after entering the second filepath, we did the enter > F6 > enter step. This started HiJackThis. Fingers crossed that this has done it. Again, thanks for the info! :wavey:

Looks good. Only a few minor ones that you don't need.


I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL =
http://gb10.hpwis.com/

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D
