I followed Dak's advice re "after five days" but that was a couple of weeks ago.
It's criminal that these malware types can put so many people into a state of anxiety.

Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware 3.5 here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.
Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Then please run Ewido, click on the Scanner run a full scan and let it clean everything it finds. Save the logfile from the scan.
Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.
