Hi Michael, welcome to DaniWeb :D

First, right-click in an open area of your desktop and select New, Folder; give the new folder a name (such as HJT or HijackThis), and then drag the hijackthis.exe icon that is on your desktop into the new folder.

Now, scan with HijackThis and have it fix the following entries:

If either of these IP addresses -- 69.50.176.156 or 195.225.176.31 -- are not related to your ISP, have HJT fix all of the O17 entries.

Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted file and folders:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\iecust.dll

C:\Program Files\PInfo
C:\Program Files\WareOut

Note: If any of these cannot be deleted, try booting into Safe Mode and deleting them from there.

Reboot (normally), close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log please.

[Michael McNamar]

here is the logfile after your previous recommendations. I could not find the PInfo or Wareout files so i did not delete those files.

PInfoand WareOut are both folders (not files), and should be found as shown --

C:\Program Files\PInfo
C:\Program Files\WareOut

(Be sure your system is set up to 'Show hidden files and folders')

If you don't find them there, do a search for:

PInfo
WareOut

And delete any instances found.

Other then that, you log looks clean, are you still having problems?
