Hi Crunchie,
First let me start out by saying Thank You very much for your help.
I followed your instructions for HJT and below is my log.
Just to give you a little history of my past 3 days. I have been reading different forums and tried some of the other suggestions. Hopefully in any of my previous attempts to get rid of this I have not made some devastating changes that we can not fix.

Again Thank You for your help.

megab10,

Hi! and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

===============

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".
2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:

1. Select all available drives.
2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".
3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\apizw32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\iecb.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Now, let's open a command prompt by going to the start menu and then select 'Run'.

In the box that pops up type in 'cmd'. The command prompt will open.

OR

You can go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Unregister the dll(s) we're going to remove, by entering the following:

regsvr32 /u sysrq32.dll

It's ok, if these aren't found or 'error' out. If you want, just copy and paste the individual lines to the command prompt to save typing them in.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

crunchie.

I am encountering problems posting so let's see if this one takes.

I followed all your instructions. The only thing I have not completed is the trendmicro scan. The free scan would not run. Downloaded free 30 day trial however when i went to install it wanted to uninstall my norton av. will wait to hear from you on that.

found all the files i could and deleted them.

below is a new HJT log. This one is from today.

Ran HJT
c:\windows\crkh32.exe not found
c:\windows\system32\mfcii32.exe found and killed process

went to command prompt followed instructions and received the following:
(dllunregisterserver in nthm32.dll succeeded)

Ran HJT, clicked all listed except HKLM..\RunOnce:[crk32.exe]..... Not Found
clicked fix checked

on the 4 files that you said to locate and delete, could not find 1 & 4 and deleted 2 & 3

rebooted - almost had a heartattack here, upon reboot received a message
"could not restart missing file "system32\drivers\isapnp.sys" then told me I could use setup cd to repair.

I turned the computer off/on again and it booted back up.

Below is the new HJT log (but I don't think you are going to like it) I was looking at the list and think I see a whole new list of problems. I am really hoping you tell me I am fine and just seeing things.

I also have the Home Search Assistent, Search Extender & Shopping Wizard in my programs files which I have been told are also a problem. Could these be fighting what we are trying to do?

Here is the HJT log:

Thank you so much

Does not usually take this much to fix these days :(.
Go to http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4286.html and download then run HSremove following the instructions from the download page.

As you will still be in safe mode, run about:buster again too. Run hijackthis and fix the RO and R1 entries. They will be the obvious ones :).
IE: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\immjk.dll/sp.html#94115
Also delete the 02 line which will be similar to this;

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3F318FAB-0CFF-ADBF-F53E-EE626352F75C} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\iegk32.dll

Reboot when done and post another log please.
