Just posting to firstly say thankyou for the help that has been submitted in the thread.

In terms of my error report the dcom errors seem to have stopped a bit,
instead i get the ocasional

"The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 8007043C from line 44 of d:\nt_qxp\com\com1x\src\events \tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error."

Secondly i am going to probably reformat and reinstall windows, first i am going to notify the company that i bought the pc from (mesh) and tell them i have probs, they will probably tell me to reformat, just doing this to make sure my ass is covered basically.

I'm hoping the reformat will fix the .dll errors i got and hopefully get rid of this browser hijacker, then making sure my router firewall is on and maybe put zonelarm on just to incrase the safety a bit more. Reason why i stupidly never used one before was i thought it would effect my gaming, in terms of ping etc, though now i see that it doesnt really. I might install a new browser instead of IE cause i read that its a security risk, firefox perhaps.

Once again thankyou for the information, i'll keep you informed or if i have any more queires after i reformat and reinstall.

His machine has been so ravaged now, it only makes sense to format and start over. Personally I would love to have my hands on that machine for a while just to find and kill the things. Guess that's why I'm in the business. Of course, I'd still format it after I had fixed it just to be sure. John, I think you should go ahead and put ZoneAlarm on it, AdAware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, Spyware Guard and some kind of up-to-date antivirus too. Do as much of it as you can with net cable unplugged too. Good Luck.
