do a spybot s&d scan, a ad-aware scan, and a virus scan and then post your hijackthis log in the security forum. This is posted in the wrong section.

he said he's already done that to no avail. I would suggest just doing a HJT log if non of the scanners seemed to help.

You can download HiJackThis from here:

Save the log then post it in the Security forum. (Don't fix anything with it yet, just post the log)

You should start your own thread to ease confusion.

--- It might be easiest to do another fresh install. Bear in mind that it is best to have your patches, AV, Firewall, Anti-spy apps in place BEFORE connecting to the Internet. I realize that the patches can be a bit difficult if you don't slipstream - but they should definitely be top priority.

If you'd rather hold off on the clean install, please run theMBA-M and DSS steps listed in the linky below and submit the requested scanlogs in your new thread:
Read me before posting a request for assistance Please post the DSS extra.txt as an attachment to your post using the “Manage Attachments” button (scroll down when composing your post).
Hold off on posting the Uninstall List. The DSS extra.txt ought to suffice.

Best Luck :)
