    Ok it started off as an aim virus. I used the jayloden.com aimfix which I figured would clear it out. Then I scanned with AdAware and S&D and updated Spywareblaster. Then I rebooted in safe mode and scanned with the same programs plus norton (no viruses found). Found a crapload of adware though, which I tried to delete.

    No luck there, (must be restarted to clear). Fine, I do that; but it couldn't even clear it before the comp fully started. I looked into it, the Surf SideKick 3 malware program is apparently a big b**ch. I searched around and found a little tutorial for getting rid of it, but didn't read it all the way through before I did it.

    I never got to do the /u command before uninstalling using add/remove programs, but I THOUGHT it was gone anyway. Scan with adaware again-->
    'windows' and something.nail come up (can't rememeber the name of the second one). Those two continuously came up every time I scanned.

    Using S&D I also found "Network Monitor", "Command Service", "Smitfraud-C.", and a bunch of SP2update and activate things. Oh and I found a Surf SideKick registry entry still alive.

    Just ran aimfix again, and now it deleted some more stuff:

    AppLayerGatewayMgr service disabled
    AppLayerGatewayMgr service deleted
    Attempting to quarantine "AppLayerGatewayMgr" service executable
    C:\WINDOWS\alg.exe quarantined
    C:\WINDOWS\cfg32s.dll quarantined
    C:\WINDOWS\cfg32.exe sucessfully terminated
    C:\WINDOWS\cfg32.exe quarantined
    C:\WINDOWS\cfg32a.exe successfully terminated
    C:\WINDOWS\cfg32a.exe quarantined
    Profile cleaned for (all of my profiles)

    I have a HijackThis log attached. I really appreciated your help. Thanks!

    New HijackThis log (sorry if there's an edit button I don't see it)

    abetterinternet.nail and "Windows" (it's a according to AdAware) will not go away (Scan/delete 2 times in a row and they're still there). Some of the other stuff comes back if I leave it for a little bit.
