Hi

Have only run ad-aware so far, before I got too nuts, 622 nightmares listed there. I had hoped someone could scan the hijack this log. Thanks for your time!

Could you click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

Also go here and run online scans (all), allow them to delete whatever they find:

TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan

Reboot when done, rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.
Hope I got it all:

That's fixed more than what I originally told you and more or less completed what I had left to say - including updating IE! Have you been posting on another forum?

Just a bit of tidying up - with only HJT running, have it fix:

Reboot when done.
No, havent posted anywhere else….just not a total newbie to this stuff. This machine gets the top honors of most messed up ones I have ever worked on. Many thanks for the help.
