Next, launch Notepad (Start>All Programs>Accessories), and copy/paste all the blue REGEDIT below to it
Save in: Desktop
File Name: fixme.reg
Save as Type: All files
Click: Save

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\e8jmli1118.dll]

On the desktop, doubleclick fix.reg and allow it to run. Let it merge.


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:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: RunOnce - C:\WINNT\system32\e8jmli1118.dll

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"
