    I seem to have aquired a pretty nasty browser hijacker. Went through all the steps in the READ ME thread *except* for the online scanning because I cant get activeX to work on this comp, and the browser keeps getting jacked every couple of miniutes. I ran CCleaner, Adaware, Spybot, and Win AntiSpyware in safe mode, but this bugger is still raging. Here is the HijackThis! log. Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: Please only attach HJT logs as per the Read Me thanks

    Download
    - Pocket Killbox

    Run HijackThis and fic the following:
    Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion…say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now boot into SAFE MODE

    Open Windows Explorer navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)
    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.
