Hi S/F...

First, most of us don't know your history or what you need; 2nd, you need to d/load the newest HiJack This log, save it to its own folder (do not run it from Temp or Desktop or C root drive)and post it here:

www.suggestafix.com

Post it in the Malware/Virus section.

See you there.

try this:
switch off "system restore 'on all drives

(sys restore/settings/switch off)
then run all your anti trojan/anti-viraus/adaware and spybot programs remove everything that you can, reboot to safe mode (press f8 during boot)and do the same thing again.

reboot to normal mode, start sys restore on all drives, then get a bloody good firewall and anti-virus.

its getting dangerous out there....

And install spywareblaster before you run them.

Freak,
be sure to update your system with all service packs and hotfixes first, before installing any other spyware-filled trojan removers. In IE, Tools, Windows Update....
