Hello again :oops:

Since your last post, two new removal tools have come to light.

I hope one will work.

Download combofix.exe from the link below:

Combofix.exe

Save it to your desktop. <— VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Go to Start –> Run and copy/paste in the following:

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /v vtstu

Then hit or click OK

When finished, it will produce a log for you.

Post that log in your next reply, along with a new HijackThis! log.
:)

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
