Hello out there.
According to spyware doctor I have a trojan downloader on my PC, please see the link of the screen shot:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hurtadoj/spywaredoctor.jpg
Here is some more info from spyware doctor's site:
http://www.pctools.com/en/mrc/infections/i…eoPro%20Dialer/

Anyways, I scanned with Ad-Aware, Spybot search and destroy, Superantispyware, Windows defender and AOL Active virus shield powered by Kaspersky. And only spyware doctor found this; I think spyware doctor is a reputable program. I don't have the paid version for spyware doctor so I cannot remove it. If anyone can tell me how to get rid of it, that would be excellent.
By the way, I'm not having any symptoms of malware (my homepage is still the same, no popups etc)

Here is my hijackthis log:

Hello LDTate,
I was looking at my registry, and it appears that spyware doctor has found something in my "Restricted Sites".
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hurtadoj/restrictedzones.jpg
My question is, isn't it supposed to be there with the rest of my Restricted Zones (false positive)? If I run DelDomains.inf won't it remove the Trusted Zones as well as these Restricted Zones? In the registry I have the choice to right click any zone and delete it if I want, can't I just do that?

Here is a picture of the domain in question in my registry, notice all the other restricted zones along with it: 1-britney-spears-nude.com, sexparty.com, etc…
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hurtadoj/reg.jpg

Thanks for your help

Yes, that would remove all sites in the restricted zone.

In the registry I have the choice to right click any zone and delete it if I want, can't I just do that?

sure or Launch HijackThis, Select None of the above, Click Config, click the 'Open'Misc Tools'Section -> 'Open hosts file manager'

Thanks for bearing with me.

As mentioned in my previous post, and shown that "1987324.com" is in my restricted sites
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hurtadoj/restrictedzones.jpg
And looking at the mirror list in my registry along with all the other potentially harmful domains
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hurtadoj/reg.jpg
I've come to the conclusion that I should not delete 1987324.com, even though spyware doctor picks it up as spyware - this is because I think spy doc is making a mistake and listing something that is in my restricted sites as spyware (false positive).
If you disagree, please let me know

Thanks for your help

Thanks for all your help LDTate. I actually do have an anti-virus program, you must have accidentally skipped over it. Its listed as: C:\Program Files\AOL\Active Virus Shield\avp.exe I use to have AVG, but I saw reviews that said Kaspersky was one of the best, that is why I now use the free Active Virus Shield powered by Kaspersky Thanks again
