bobbyo,

Abnormal caught a one that I missed:

BackDoor-AML Trojan

have HJT fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [System Service] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSREXE.exe

boot into safe mode and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSREXE.exe

Might as well run RAV online scanner as well

http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

Just to make sure

Thanks Ab

Thanks guys. Shep do I checkmark the first 3 items from your response in HJT ie
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.find4u.net/sp.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.find4u.net/sp.htm
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://find4u.net

as well as the 3 items that follow?

Also forgive my ignorance but how do I "boot into safe mode and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSREXE.exe "

As I said I'm a total computer ignoramus......

Bobbyo,

First run the antivirus scan in the link (RAV Antivirus) above. Have it fix all it can.

That should be done first,let me know if it found anything, then post a new log.

I will show you how to get into safe mode etc. at that time. Be home most of the day and will keep an eye out for your reply.
