The HijackThis log shows classic signs of a persistent infection: unknown programs launching from temporary folders, browser helper/toolband entries, and custom NameServer (DNS) settings. and are on the right track with anti-spyware scans and cleaning temp files — treat those as the first triage steps, then follow a careful verification workflow before deleting things permanently.

Recommended triage (safe, ordered):

  • Isolate the PC from the network (unplug / disable networking) and back up irreplaceable data to removable media.
  • Use updated anti-malware scanners (second-opinion tools in addition to your AV). Inspect autostart points with Autoruns to safely disable suspicious startup entries and BHOs, and use Process Explorer to inspect any unfamiliar running process before terminating it. (learn.microsoft.com)
  • Before deleting executables you don’t recognize, submit them to VirusTotal to see consensus detections — that helps avoid removing a legit file. (docs.virustotal.com)

Network/DNS note (important): the log’s NameServer entries indicate the system is using explicit DNS IPs instead of your ISP’s defaults. If those IPs weren’t set intentionally, that’s a red flag — dialer/rogue programs historically change networking/DNS to hijack or redirect traffic. Reset the TCP/IP DNS settings to obtain automatically or to known-good servers (and then flush the resolver cache). Follow the OS network-properties steps for Windows XP to change DNS and use ipconfig /flushdns afterwards. (att.com)

Cautions and next steps: don’t run HijackThis “fix” blindly; make a System Restore point or registry backup first. If the infection resists live cleaning, use a current bootable rescue scanner (boot from external media) and, after cleaning, change all online passwords and review phone/billing statements for unexpected premium charges. For clarity on what a dialer does and why network changes matter, see the dialer definition/behavior resources referenced above. (malwarebytes.com)

Finally, post a fresh HijackThis log after the above scans (still disconnected) so the next responder can see updated entries and confirm complete removal.

ok do an ad-aware scan, a spybot scan, close all your browsers and then scan with hijackthis

Almost everything in that log is important! But there are a few things that aren't. Before you fix anything with HJT, however, it should not be run from your desktop, it should be in it's own folder (like c:\hjt\hijackthis.exe).

Once you have it in it's own folder, close all windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following entries:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [h9ldW0U.exe] C:\documents and settings\ashley taggart\local settings\temp\h9ldW0U.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [7a.exe] C:\documents and settings\ashley taggart\local settings\temp\7a.exe

Reboot into Safe Mode, go to C:\documents and settings, (make sure "show hidden files and folders" is enabled), go to each users account, local settings, and delete the contents of each "temp" folder and each "temporary internet" folder (contents only, not the folders!).

Reboot normally, close all windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log. I'm pretty sure there are more items that need to be fixed, but one of the pro's will need to help with the rest.

To help keep bad stuff off your system, install spywareblaster:

(and keep it updated!)
