    I'm working through your list, and have a couple of questions regarding the registry and logfile.

    I have a line in the HT logfile:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AOLDialer] C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\ACS\AOLDial.exe
    Then, several lines down is :
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AOL Fast Start] "C:\PROGRA~1\AMERIC~1.0A\AOL.EXE" -b
    Are these related? Do I need both?

    Also, I have a line:
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{6AAA99DD-6FAD-4F32-9B77-674C946D7A5A}: NameServer = 85.255.115.50,85.255.112.118
    How do I find out what that server refers to? The Hijack This! Log auto analyzer at Networktechs.com indicated it as "Bad if you don't know what it is". Should I disable or remove it?

    Appreciate the help.
