On this computer I have done the following.
1.Ran Spybot S&D. 89 found 5 could not be removed. It wants to rerun at restart, which I say yes to.
It then finds 15, 5 stll can't be removed. I've tried this in normal & safe mode.
2. Ran Adaware. It finds a bunch, but the NT thing restarts the computer when it tries to delete stuff.
3. I ran Trendmicro, Panda, and Kaspersky, they all run really slow, and none fully remove things.
4. I ran ewido anti-spyware. same.
I've mixed up the orders and done most in safe mode.

Here is the Hijack this log. TIA!

Hi I'm Angelfire777 and it'll be my pleasure to assist you in your problem. Reasearching Hijackthis logs could take sometime so please, be patient while I research a fix for you. Also, I have to let experts check my fixes first before bringing them to you. Please observe these while we work: 1.) Please stick with this thread until we are finished, do not start a new topic here or start a new thread at other forums. Do not worry, We were trained to help and never give up until we get you all fixed up. 2.) Stop if you have questions!! Never proceed if something is unclear to you. We don't want to start all over again. 3.) Avoid downloading other applications or other anti-spyware programs unless you really need to. 4.) Lastly, please be patient and never lose hope. Sometimes, it will take us several tries and posts to get something done. Sit back tight, I'll be back for you!
When you're going to post hijackthis logs, please post them in normal mode, never in safe mode. Also, please avoid doing anything on your own, just wait and follow my instructions or you could damage your system.

I noticed that you are not running any AntiVirus application. You could get infected immediately after we clean you up. I suggest that you get ONE of these:

» Avast!
» AVG AntiVirus
» AntiVir
==========================
It is possible that some of the entries are hiding from us, so I suggest you to please rename hijackthis.exe to something like hjt.exe
