Hi Brandon, welcome to DaniWeb

Start with this:

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Then scan with HijackThis and have it fix the following entries:

Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files:

Do a search for msdirectx.exe and delete any instances found.

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot normally.
