    Hello,

    My computer was recently reformatted due to a virus so I thought everything should be okay, in the last couple of days my Firefox start/home page keeps on resetting to MSN.com (I usually keep it at the Google Firefox start page). I ran all the steps in normal mode except for PandaScan and nothing was found. Please help, attached is my BitDefender scan and HijackThis log. Thanks in advance.

    Did you install Protector Suite? See: http://www.upek.com/products/protector.asp
    The reason I ask is the below line:
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: psfus - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\psqlpwd.dll

    Did you install the below software from Dameware?
    O23 - Service: DameWare Mini Remote Control (DWMRCS) - DameWare Development LLC - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DWRCS.EXE

    The dwrcs.exe is process required to allow other computers to connect to you computer
    using the DameWare remote control client. If you do not use DameWare remote
    administration software you should terminate this process. It is a legitimate process but
    only if you are the on who installed it.

    I see no real malware in your logs. Perhaps you just need to set your
    home page in Firefox and make sure that no spyware protection programs
    that are running are blocking the change.
