Hi Tomcoyote, followed advice to another user on downloading CW to clean Freednshost from PC. It appeared to have gone except when I type in an address in IE, the address doesn't get hijacked as it doesn't change, but the page that comes up on screen is a Freednshost page. Log file after rebooting after CW attached. Really appreciate help to solve.

With only HJT running, have it fix this entry:

O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\system32\am8gk.628

Reboot when done - let me know.
Thanks Daemon for the reply. I was suspicious of the entry but no clues in the description. Followed your advice and everything seems ok. Thanks for your help. :P
You're welcome - glad to help :D
