    Howdy all
    this is my firstpost so bear with me. My fathers computer has a an adware bug that I can't get rid of. it comes up on his norton as Adware.VirtuMonde. I have followed all the instructions from Norton, downloaded the removal tool, and tried the manual removal instructions. But I can't find the offending files and registry keys that it says I should remove. I have turned off system restore, and shown the hidden file still nothing. I have downloaded Highjack This. and at least one of the files does show up there. could someone take a look at my Highjack This log and advise.

    Respectfully
