A short expert addendum to the thread: posted a HijackThis log and correctly urged following the cleanup instructions and applying system updates. Extra caution is needed before removing entries: many HijackThis lines are harmless and using the "Fix" button without verification can break legitimate programs. The checklist below shows a safe, repeatable workflow that reduces risk and produces a clean log for follow-up review.

Full backups first. Create a System Restore point and export the registry so changes can be undone. Example registry export command:
```
regedit /e C:\RegBackup_before_HJT.reg
```
Isolation and updates. If the system behaves maliciously, disconnect from the network. Bring all security software fully up to date (signature and program updates) before scanning.
Layered scanning. Run a full resident AV scan and a second on-demand anti‑malware scan from a different vendor to catch things a single engine might miss. For suspicious files, check them on VirusTotal. Consider an offline rescue scan if the infection resists live cleaning.
Safe-mode recheck. Reboot to Safe Mode and re-scan; many persistence mechanisms are easier to remove when not loaded.
Research before fixing. Use a process/handle viewer (for example, Process Explorer) and check digital signatures and file locations before deleting registry or file entries. If an item is unclear, do not fix it blindly.
Produce a new HijackThis log after cleaning. A fresh log confirms what remains and avoids repeated edits.

Troubleshooting notes: missing-file entries and browser toolbars are often benign; unknown services or unsigned executables warrant closer inspection. If manual registry edits are needed, document every change and restore the exported registry if anything goes wrong. For persistent or complex cases, an offline rescue environment or professional removal is the safest option.

Hi kcto88,

I appologize for the delay in responding to this. There are a few things that should be cleaned up there, please follow the suggestions and instructions in the links below (including the Windows Updates!) and then post a new HijackThis log.
