Followed the basic spyware removal thread but no luck (HJT log inside)

No! You did not follow all the steps in the thread! If you had, you would not be running an old HijackThis version. Also, you would not have HijackThis on your Desktop had you read and followed the threads. And you would have shutdown unnecessary applications too. Like all the printer stuff, Winword, Firefox, iPod, etc.

A brief look tells me you have a stubborn one though. You really need to make sure you have done all those other steps with update versions of each program and I need a new HJT log with version 1.98.2.

Go back and do all the steps and verify you have all the correct versions too.

 

Meaning????

We are ready to help! Just follow the guidelines please! This makes it easier for us to help you. The sooner you run the stuff I gave you and post a new HijackThis log (with proper version), the sooner we can get started.

 

It does not look like you ran the TrendMicro scan. Are you sure you ran everything? You did not tell me anything that you did. You just posted a log.

 

You also still have your browser running (two instances of it):
C:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe

The guidelines specifically request you exit browsers before scanning.

 

Run HijackThis and have it fix the following lines:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://search200.com/passthrough/index.html?http://www.google.com/
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://xfxhdhjjwefcoau.com/CqL/eDNUntbPTjnRqAykR4kvZL9lysSaBRbhA7n8l_0/IqjMGnWRtpo8ubKEil6U.html

Then Reset Web Settings by opening Internet Explorer. Then click Tools, Internet Options, Programs, and click the Reset Web Settings button. Then go back to the General tab and set your home page back to what you like (i.e., www.majorgeeks.com).

Let me know if this resolves your problems. If not, reboot your PC and immediately after reboot (do not run anything else) get a fresh HijackThis log. Now run your browser and post the log back here as an attachment.
