My IE6 Browser Is Being Hijacked, etc.

The below DETECTIVE folder appears to contain a bunch of things the scanners are questioning. Did you install this stuff youself. If so, what is it. One item in the folder even says Keylogger according to Bitdefender.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\DETECTIVE

If you did not install this folder or the stuff in it. You should delete this DETECTIVE folder where indicated in my later steps.

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:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [defender] C:\\defender1.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\defender1.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\DETECTIVE <--- delete this whole folder of questionable software unless you are responsible for it.

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.
Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log.

Make sure you tell me how things are working now.

Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

Most Cookies are not issues of concern and even the ones that would be of concern are very minor problems. Spyware programs love to blow them out of proportion. It makes their hit counts of malware being detected higher. Anytime you surf you will get cookies. You are getting triablfusion from majorgeeks. It for example is a tracking cookie that helps you to avoid seeing the same advertisements on the main download pages over and over again.

It was not empty according to your logs. Did you just empty it? If empty, why do you need to keep it?

Is Spyware Doctor a paid version or a free trial? If paid, you should now uninstall MS Windows Defender to avoid wasting excess system resources and avoid possible conflicts. If Spyware Doctor is a free trial, you should unintall Spyware Doctor and keep MS Windows Defender.

Your log is clean. If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points. Then reboot and enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After that, you should work thru the below link:
