I'm having trouble with Home Search Assistent, Search Extender, and Shopping Wizard, as well as trojan horses, popups, and other nasties that have hijacked my dad's computer. I'm trying to fix it for him, and would appreciate your help!

Hi ThalesC, welcome to the site. :)

1. First of all, your log indicates that you don't have the most current critical fixes and security updates installed for XP/Internet Explorer. Please go to Microsoft's Windows Update site and install them now; having those patches installed will plug some of the loopholes through which "spyware" gets on your system in the first place.


2. Once you do the above, please follow the instruction I gave in this thread and then post a new HijackThis log after that.
