Hi everyone, Thanks for your wonderful community,

My browser either redirects or a new ie window pops up everytime I click on a link from any page

I have read thru and tried to follow the directions in the Please read files instructing basic clean up procedures and have followed everything pretty much. I did not install and run any other av program because I was under the impression that it would not work well with norton av.

also I did not clear everything out of the documents and settings folder because i know some of these are part of files i want etc. i hope this isnt a big issue...

****I did install and run "fixwareout" as per instrucctions for another poster w/similar problem, the log for that is just after the hjt log below. thanxs***

I have a new freshly updated norton anti virus and a new version of spybot s&d and a new hijack this...I have ran the norton and the spybot multiple times. norton is on all the time...they keep catching worms and trojans and spyware.

I have a new lap top.(last week) but like a fool I downloaded some programs from limewire(friday and saturday). so I am sure thats what started this.

Help! :l

Thanks for your time.

heres the hijack log
