I googled her issue and saw a post with crunchie replying and got her to do the things in the list and I have her Hijackthis log, I don't see anything out of sorts myself but don't know much either. She runs Vista, cannot access webpages a lot of the time nor use outlook to send and receive emails. Msn works and sometimes if I send her a link through it she can go to a webpage but not always so I am baffled. HP also made her do a recovery the other day but it did not solve the problem.. So here is her hjt log

Thanks in advance for the assistance, this is a fantastic site :)

Any help would be appreciated, any tips on what to do??

Um, Vista... right.....
First off pls check the properties of this file: C:\WINDOWS\SMINST\launcher.exe
==Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and put it in a new folder. You should aim to keep this one for general use. I set it from the installation checkboxes to only open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run CCleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...]. Select the Cleaner icon, press Run Cleaner.
[For future quick temp file cleaning select the options you wish to use via the Windows and Applications tabs ..
==GET AVG antispyware 7.5 here.. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5
or here.. http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-spyware-free
-the link is almost at the bottom of the page , avgas 7.5.0.50. Install it and UPDATE it.
Start AVG a-s 7.5;
-under Scanner/ Settings please change the default action from Recommended Actions to QUARANTINE, and run the complete system scan.
-press Apply all Actions and Save the log file. Post the log file.

Next, pls rename hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe and produce a fresh log.
