Error Cleaner, Privacy Protector, Spyware & Malware Protection

Hi all,
I have read the other threads about Error Cleaner, Privacy Protector, Spyware&Malware Protection, and now I am wondering if these programs are the front for something else? (like one of the *.Win32.* viruses/trojans)?? I am trying to get it off a friend's computer, and I consider myself pretty computer literate, but i am having trouble. I will post the logs once I am finished this other scan on the computer, but I was just wondering in anyone knew. I am suspicious because I find PandaSoftware to be pretty good about these programs, but it doesnt seem to have any knowledge of this one. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks!
I will post logs when this scan is finished if I am still having problems!

Hi *EQL*

1) You need to uninstall the below:

- J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
- J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 3
- Java(TM) 6 Update 2

2) Reboot after uninstalling the above.

3) AFTER you reboot, install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

4) Run HijackThis (now called analyse.exe and located in the MGTools folder under C:\ ) and select Do a system scan only. Select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: OFK System - {E2D31F0C-78A4-4713-A7E4-6F4A50525D4B} - C:\WINDOWS\blopenvtrm.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - ?p=ZRxdm479YYCA
O21 - SSODL: leorop - {A4E077EA-9A12-4399-9B64-B55E7C81AA5C} - C:\WINDOWS\leorop.dll (file missing)
O21 - SSODL: nopzet - {DD99D7E8-0FE2-4048-909B-EBFFD5F34896} - C:\WINDOWS\nopzet.dll

And if you don't know what this one is, fix it too:
O16 - DPF: {DA80E089-4648-43D5-93B4-7F37917084E6} (CacheManager.CacheManagerCtrl) - http://candystand.com/assets/activex/virtools/CacheManager.CAB


After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
