Hey, Welcome to Daniweb. Heh, first time in a while I've seen somebody prepared. Man, ya already have Ewido, good, HJT is in a permenant folder, good, and you've already followed DMR's protocol---basically, you're incredible. Haha alrite, to work. Begin by checking the following in the HJT log:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard,ShellNext = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?T...arm1=seconduser
O16 - DPF: {9522B3FB-7A2B-4646-8AF6-36E7F593073C} (cpbrkpie Control) - http://a19.g.akamai.net/7/19/7125/1...02/cpbrkpie.cab

After doing this, restart your computer, and download SpySweeper (its link can be found in my sig. below) and CCleaner (also below). Update definitions for these, along with Ewido, and run scans with all three, saving the Ewido and SpySweeper logs. Restart again, and post back a new HJT log, along with the saved logs.

After doing all of this, are ya still having problems?

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice -- it seems to have worked! Posted below are the log files for SpySweeper, EWIDO and HJT.

Please review the log files and let me know if anything looks suspicious!

I appreciate all your help.

Just wanted to post a follow up to the logs I left earlier today --- After testing the system a little more I began to have the same D@#! thing happen again. I would start my IE browser and in the lower left corner it would list "Finding site 1.0.0.0" I did more scans and found absolutely no issues with malware, spyware etc...... I was desperate at this point and started searching the internet.

I found a solution to the issue of the 1.0.0.0 and eventual DNS error page. It is specific to my broadband internet provided through QWEST. Specifically I have an ActionTec 701 DSL Modem/Router -- for some reason the DNS traffic is jumbled and gets completely pissed up for no reason.

The solution is to go into the properties of the NIC on the PC and change the Dynamic DNS to Static DNS. This is very simple to do you just need to log into your DSL Modem -- in my case 192.168.0.1 and my password and then find the actual DNS server IP addresses. Then enter these in the section for the NIC.

I know this solution doesn't belong in this section. If anyone has some insight into where I should place this solution for others to reference, please let me know.

Awsome, I'm happy to hear the problem's fixed. If ya were trying to find a place to repost the solution, which I think is a good idea, I would recommend the 'Web Browsers' forum, located in the same place where the virus/nasties folder is also located.

Thanks again.
