Hi there. :) While you are waiting, you should update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. If you haven't done so already you might want to scan with Adaware and Spybot, and let them fix anything that they might find. After doing that, rescan with the new version of hijackthis, being sure all browser windows are closed, and post a new log. One of the security experts should be along to take a look and take it from there. :)

Also if you wish, you can try the latest version of CWShredder. It allegedly removes the hidden dll, but I do not know for sure as I am not infected :).

Download CWShredder 2.0 from here. Run it and press the *fix,* not scan and allow it to clean the infection.
