Hi again.
I ran the web-virus-search-thing and it found 15 things. I deleted (spelling?) all 15. The HJ-log after reboot is as follows:

Did you manage to get the PC back on-line?
Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

You will need to reboot and check if those 015 entries come back. Let me know

Hi.
Yes I´m back online and all seems to be in perfect order. Allmost.
All the "015´s" are gone, but Spyware Doctor finds a tracking coockie after every reboot.
I don´t know if there´s any connections to the HomeSearch-thing? I cant get any more info on the cookie and it didnt help to delete all cookies in IE.
Thanks for all your help. I will try to deal with the tracking cookie later. Any ideas on how to find out more obuet the cookie and how to remove it?

You can try to clear it out manually by going to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies and deleting them manually. If you have spywareblaster you can set it to block tracking cookies.
Also you can set IE up to prompt you every time a site tries to set a cookie. Go to Internet Properties in IE then go to Privacy>Advanced. Select override automatic cookie handling and set both to prompt.

I now get anywhere from 1 to 3 new cookies on every startup. Here´s a list of the ones that look´s od:
troels@cgi-bin[1]
troels@mediaplex
troels@tribalfusion
troels@as-us.falkag
troels@imho
Any ideas? I will install all the programs listet at: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html
But I fear that they will only prevent new cookies from being installed.

Did you do what I suggested above? If you did, you should be able to delete those cookies and the only way they can come back is if you let them.
