Right-click on your desktop, select New, Folder; name it something like HJT or hijackthis; then, drag the hijackthis.exe icon that is on your desktop into that new folder.

Scan with hijackthis and have it fix the following entries:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe winsock.scr
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dxset.exe] C:\WINDOWS\dxsetu.exe

Be sure all windows are closed other than hijackthis before hitting the Fix button.

Go to C:\WINDOWS and delete dxsetu.exe

You can also try winsockfix and see if it helps resolve the problem:

Get the latest version of hijackthis (1.99.1) from here:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/

Close all browser windows, scan with the new hijackthis, and post a new log please.
