Hi everybody, I think my computer's infected, could somebody please take a look at this. First I kept getting *.whataboutadog.com in my Trusted Sites every time I reboot, even after manually removing it. Now I've got line O17 in my HJT log with some domain hijacker I think? Here's the HJT log:

This is the story about whataboutadog.

You have a downloader trojan called Downloader.Agent.awf or Downloader.Agent.ayy. This trojan replaces legitimate files that are common on most computers with an infected file. It then moves the legitimate file to a "bak" or backup folder. Please follow the directions below to run FindAWF so we can identify the files that have been infected and the backups then restore them.

Please download FindAWF and save it to your desktop

* Double-click FindAWF.exe to start the tool.
* Select option #1 - Scan for bak folders by typing 1 and press 'Enter'
* When the tool has completed, a report will open up in notepad. Please post the results of the awf.txt here.
**Do not run any other option unless directed to do so.**
