Hi eikrem,

Are you just posting this log for a final review, or are you still having problems? I ask because although I don't recognize all of the programs you're running, I don't see anything obviously nasty in the log.

First of all could you click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and uninstall 'Window Search', 'Window Searching', 'Lop.com', 'LOP SEARCH', 'Browser Enhancer', or 'Ultimate Browser Enhancer' if listed. You may be given a code to insert, do so and reboot when done.

Then you really should post a log that was scanned in normal mode. HJT needs updating to 1.98 first.

Good catch crunchie- I missed that one.

Hi again! I have done as told and here is the shocking results :

Oh , by the way : my wifes user account in xp is somewhat different in behavier, she often gets redirected to other sites even if she manually write in an usually ok site adress in the adress bar, while i only get the about:blank every time ... so, please have a look:
