How about using something other than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox or Mozilla? Works for me.

Yeah mostly 99% of problems relating to malware are caused by bad security using internet explorer and in my opinion mozilla firefox is the better web browser but some people would rather use IE. Just set your security level higher get the google toolbar and make sure you have the most up to date IE.

ok you need to save hijack this to your hard drive and post the log exactly as it is you left part out and smushed two partd together.

Hijackthis needs to be in a permanent folder in order for it to save backups (in case something goes wrong), right now you're running it from a temp folder.

You can download Mozilla-Firefox free from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/

To continue using Internet Explorer more safely, make sure it is updated (using Windows Update) and install Spyware Blaster from here:
