Hey guys, well this is my first post and i have to say this one has been driving me up the wall.

I downloaded a programme called (removed link) I don't recomend you do the same unless you like slamming you fingers in car doors.) Anyways its added somthing that every time i use to internet an advert for firstadsolutions.com (the ad comes up in iexplorer, i use firefox)

I'v also had these alerts

So far i'v tried ad-aware, AVG 7.5, and Avira Antivir, oh and the one that came with my com (Mcafee i think) to kill it,

i'v removed ever modified file that was altered at the time of installing the programme.

Tried to remove the highlighted HJT log line, but it just keeps comming back.

The good news is i managed to stop the ads by putting Iexplorer through the shredder. :) now i just get a Ie script error message everytime i use the net. its still there :( (the script error is trying to connect to the URL netsearchsoft.com)

anyways here's my HJT log,
