    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    There are a few things to fix. One is a left over service from having Panda Antivirus install at some point in time.

    Click on Start, then Run ... type services.msc into the box that opens up, and press 'OK'. On the page that opens, scroll down to Panda Process Protection Service ... then right click the entry, select 'Properties' and press 'Stop Service'. When it shows that it is stopped, next please set the 'Start-up Type' to 'Disabled'. Press 'OK' until you get back to Windows.

    Next, run HJT, but instead of scanning, click on the "None of the above, just start the program" button at the bottom of the choices. At the lower right, click on the 'Config" button, and then the Misc tools' button ... select 'Delete an NT Service" ... copy/paste the following into the box that opens, and press "OK":

    PavPrSrv

    If you receive any error messages just ignore them and continue.

    Now exit HJT but do not reboot when it tells you it needs to. We will do that further down after running HJT again to fix some other items.

    Make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {4D25F926-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - (no file)
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.:

    Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
    1. If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
    2. Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
    3. If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.
    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log.

    You should not keep Ewido, Spy Sweeper, and Windows Defender all installed. They will slow your PC down and can conflict with each other. Are Ewido and Spy Sweeper paid versions or free trials? If Spy Sweeper is paid and if it is the latest version (does not look like it from your log), I would keep it.

    After doing the above you should be clean but you still have some work to do. You are using a way outdated version of Sun Java and need to install the current version and then uninstall ALL old versions. This is all covered in the below thread which you should run if you are not having anymore malware problems.

    Thanks for your help. I did the things that you said, and I removed both ewido and spy sweeper, because each of them were just the trial versions. as for java, yeah, i realize that 1.4.2 is old school, but that is what we are using at work, so I need to have that here to work from home, but I did install the 1.5 jdk just to stay current as well.

    So after doing all of that, I reran the scan, and here are the results.

    Then someone needs to get on top of your IT department. There are security issues in the older Sun Java versions. They need to get all system updated. This is no different than not upgrading Windows with security patches when they come out.

    Did you miss fixing the below or did you decide to keep them?
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway

    Try again and also Reset Web Settings as requested. It is also possible that Ewido, Spy Sweeper, or Windows Defender blocked the above fixed.

    The below line should now be fixed. It is a leftover from uninstalling SpySweeper. They do not do a perfect job of cleaning up after the uninstall.
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)
