If I had to hazzard a guess, I think it is the three bolded above. Please any help would be fantastic.
BTW: Ran AVAST no virus reported.

Good job getting a full scan done and following up, — Malwarebytes quarantining the BHO/run-key items and a clean HijackThis after reboot is the right sign that the active infection was removed. ’s reminder about running a firewall and adding preventative tooling is sound; use those suggestions as part of a broader cleanup and hardening routine rather than as the only step.

Next steps to be certain the system is clean:

  • Confirm the items MBAM marked for “delete on reboot” are actually gone (search the system for those filenames and folders after restarting).
  • Run a second, different scanner (an up-to-date on-demand or rescue scan) and a rootkit check to catch anything MBAM might miss.
  • Use a tool that enumerates all autoruns (startup Run keys, services, BHOs and scheduled tasks) to spot hidden entries that HijackThis might not show; remove only entries you can positively identify as malicious.
  • Inspect the hosts file, proxy settings, and IE add-ons; reset IE’s settings to defaults if search/home pages still act odd.

Account and browser recovery:

  • Change passwords for online accounts used while the machine was infected (Google, Facebook, email), revoke unknown app access, and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
  • Clear saved passwords in browsers and re-authenticate from a known-clean machine if you suspect credentials were harvested.

Hardening and final cautions:

  • Update Windows and third-party software (Java, Adobe, etc.), keep the firewall enabled, and consider creating an image backup of the cleaned system. If anything looks off (unknown system files in unexpected locations), don’t delete blindly — export registry keys and back up data before changes. If uncertainty remains, a full OS reinstall from trusted media is the safest final remedy.

Looks better, and tested google link, and worked fine.

Member Avatar for jholland1964

Looks pretty good to me too. Are you running a firewall? Also would recommend adding SpywareBlaster.
Very highly recommended. Doesn't run in the background and really a super protector against ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software and will block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

I'm using Vista's built in FW. I will give SpywareBlaster a look.

Thanks for the help.
