    First:
    Please update your version of Hijack This.

    Second:
    Please close ALL browsers while running HJT!

    • C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE

    Third:
    Please download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.
    • Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster
    • Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.
    • Click the X to exit the program.

    After doing ALL of the above, reboot and post a new log using the new version.

    From now on post your logs as attachments to your post as a .txt or .log file. I will have the first log removed as its no good and the second converted into an attachment.

    Allow me a moment to check it!

    Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

    Other than these few ActiveX Controls you look clean, are you currently having any problems?

    Hello bjgarrick,

    So far so good, everything looks like it's gone according to HijackThis.

    Yes, I started having problems a couple of days ago after signing up for a 30 day trial copy of Symantic Antispam, I used a different email address to sign up and I got the notification of where to go to d/l it. When I went into that site I got a different kind of toolbar in IE. I went into view-toolbars found the toolbar that was put there and got rid of it, then selected "lock the toolbars". I never did d/l Antispam by the way. Then the computer started getting slow kind of intermitted, like driving along and coming to a stop waiting for a red light, then driving along again. This happened every few minutes. I also noticed that the Google search page logo had changed. I did a online scan and it found I had Azesearch on it, I ran Hijackthis and it was confirmed. I also d/l Spybot Search and Destroy it found a couple of malware. and also d/l a-square it found a Trogan.

    Thank you once again for taking the time to help me, and one other thing thank you for being so prompt! :)

    I would go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.
