Hi and welcome to daniweb,
You said that you have

been reading the threads about this malware and followed the instructions in removing it, unfortunately, i still have the same problems

Which malware is that? Many types of malware exhibit the same symptoms but their manner of removal may be entirely different.
You said you have followed the instructions, which ones are those and where did you get the instructions?
If you have run programs other than HiJackThis, which bascially is a scanner, though some fixes can be applied later with it, if we know what fixes were applied with other programs. We need to see the logs of the other programs you have run before we can make a determination on what to do next. Can you post those logs for us so we can take a look?
