Hi and welcome to Daniweb :).

My suggestion, (as we do not know what you have 'fixed') is to either do a system restore, or restore the items you removed with hijackthis.
To restore from hijackthis, start hijackthis and hit the button 'view the list of backups.' Put a check in the box of the ones you have fixed and hit the restore button.
Reboot your system and post another log.

You have a few things to do now :).

===============

Download CWShredder 2.14 from here. Run it and press the *fix,* not scan and allow it to clean the infection. Close all browser and explorer windows before hitting the fix button.

-

Download and unzip to your desktop About:Buster and run it, then:

1. Click "Update".
2. Click "Check For Update"

(If no new version is available, skip to step #4.)

3. Click "Download Update", and wait for it to be installed.

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here

4. Run "About:Buster" again and hit the 'Begin Removal' button.

(Wait for the initial ADS scan to complete.)

5. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE session currently open.

(Wait for the about:blank scan to complete.)

6. Click "Ok", to scan once more.
7. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE sessions currently open.
8. Click "Yes", to begin the second pass.

9. Click "Save log", and post this log back along with your new log.
10. Click "Exit".
11. Click "Exit".
12. "Reboot"..

===============

Still in safe mode, run HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll/sp.html#44768

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: Class - {77B7DA97-BD58-F49D-785C-33F169AC9529} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysqs.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ipws32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipws32.exe

O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\mfcip.exe

Now, with all windows closed (including Internet Explorer) except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipws32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\mfcip.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ivecr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysqs.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Let me know how everything goes.

Just this one to be rid of and you should be good to go :).

Go to;

Start>>Run and type regedit
Press enter.
Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I)

If Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I)

If LEGACY_Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Reboot and check in hijackthis to ascertain it's removal.
