Welcome to the forum

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: [IpWins] F:\Program Files\ipwins\ipwins.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [owkq] F:\Program Files\Common Files\owkq\owkqm.exe

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:

f:\program files\common files\owkq <— FOLDER

f:\program files\ipwins <— FOLDER

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.
