Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hi, many thanks for your reply.

Since i have got rid of this virus and set everything back to normal, the system runs a lot faster and smoother, it even runs better than before i had the virus (i guess i had other malware), overall it boots much quicker, logs much much faster, and the system tray loads instantly. =)

here's my second hijackthis log:
