Yeah fix this '
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WNSC] C:\WINDOWS\System32\wnsintsu.exe
Then reboot and delete this file '
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wnsintsu.exe

Quote from another source .
Task which is dropped onto your PC when you run the free “hidden pornography scanner from PuritySCAN.com. At the time of writing, 9‑May‑2004, PuritySCAN.com purports to scan your PC for hidden pornography and help you remove it. For a start, at the time of writing, 9‑May‑2004, the scan for pornographic content is a total scam and downright dangerous.

Any reason why you didn't fix this as suggest in early post or did you fix and did it return'
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Ltho] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ootr.exe

Also a trip to windows updates is needed for critical updates and SP1's
WINDOWS UPDATES

Try the PurityScan uninstaller.

Thanks,Crunchie .I forgot there was one !!

Actually my security settings are to high to go to either link!

I believe I have. There's a possibilty that i missed to put a check mark on it. But i pretty much do as I am told by you. You are my master!

And thanks for the link to uninstall the purity thing.

Also. ON my laptop, i was pretty much doin' what i am told to do as well. I ran the Hijack this and posted the result.

i checked off what i was told to do so and then, i was asked to reboot into Safe Mode. to delete some files.

When i went to reboot into safe mode it just hung, and i was never able to boot up again.

The last error message i got was a dll error message that read:

c:\winnt\bxxs.dll could not be found or something to that affect.

are you familiar with the bxxs.dll file?

I am having my laptop sent back to Gateway (Thank God it's still under warranty)

Thank you again!

I did the link provided by crunchie:
Try the PurityScan http://www.purityscan.com/ps_uninstaller.exe

and then i ran the hijackthis scan again and i did not find

the ones caperjack wanted me to check off. So perhaps the uninstall fixed that. but i was able to delet the file c:\windwos\system32\wnsintsu.exe

Here is the latest LoG:
