Somehow you slipped by us for this I apologize. The first thing I notice is that your OS is way out of date which represents a critical security threat. You must update to Service Pack 2 and Internet Explorer 7 to be well protected, at the moment you are wide open to infections.

Once you we get your system cleaned you must update or else you will continue to have problems with malware.

Now scan with HijackThis and check the boxes for the following entries:
( Make sure ALL browser windows are closed when you click FIX )

Again, make sure ALL browser windows are closed when you click FIX.

Next, run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

Finally, I would like you to flush your System Restore points. Please follow the instructions in the below:

• Disable and Re-enable System Restore
  
  
• Turn OFF System Restore to flush any bad Restore Points.
  
  
• Then, follow the instructions at the bottom of the linked page to Re-enable the Restore Utility which will create a fresh restore point.

After you complete the above reboot once more and then scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.

Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

 

Thanks for looking at this. Computer is much better, and I updated everything.

 

Are you having any current problems?
