Hi, below is my hijack log. I have been battling something very bad on my
computer since my 6 year old used it and I found literally over 30 pop-ups
on it after his "use" about 1 week ago. I've tried every virus scanner around to eliminate
the problem, but still the computer sings out of nowhere and pop-ups come up
despite the blockage attempts. The Norton anti-virus program is not working
properly for e-mails (error message) and the spyhunter program is not working
due to an error message - all within a week of purchase. I hope someone can
help me. Now I can't access the control panel and get the message on the
thread line. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I am not a
computer person by any means but struggling to get rid of whatever has
infected my computer. Thank you again in advance.

Welcome to the forum, sorry about the wait, logs are many and volunteers are few. If you still need help and are not receiving it elsewhere, please do this.

1) You are running HJT.exe from a .zip file in a Temporary Directory. This is unsafe as we will have no backups. That is why you received this message when you used HJT: http://russelltexas.com/malware/images/unsafefolder.gif
Please use the information in the following link to place HJT in a permanent, safe folder, I prefer C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe. If you need additional instructions use these: http://russelltexas.com/malware/createhjtfolder.htm

2) You are formating your log and we can not scan it like that. Open your notepad and click on Format at the top, uncheck "Word Wrap". Please post all logs in Normal Mode with everything enabled in MSConfig unless I request otherwise, using the "Add Reply" button.

Post a new HJT log according to the above instructions and I will respond as soon as possible after that. If you are being helped elsewhere, I would appreciate a quick post letting us know so we can close your topic.

Thanks
