Welcome to the forum :wavey:

Let's get the "bugs" out, and see if that helps…

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [kSt]wXmab] C:\WINDOWS\System32\ptqqv.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [elky_wRxakN] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wrwdjqzf.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [FASTTRACKNETVISION] C:\WINDOWS\NETVISION.exe -A

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [FASTTRACKNETVISION] C:\WINDOWS\NETVISION.exe -A

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:

c:\windows\netvision.exe <— file

c:\windows\system32\ptqqv.exe <— file

c:\windows\system32\wrwdjqzf.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread. :)

You've still got some type of malware running loose.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only

Don't run it yet.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [elky_wRxakN] C:\WINDOWS\System32\klvhzabn.exe

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Close the program.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:

c:\windows\system32\klvhzabn.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread. :)
