I take it the F-Secure scan came out clean? smile.gif

Everything looks great --- your HijackThis log appears to be clean. smile.gif

Please take some time reading this list; it is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
  • Windows Updates (a must!)
    It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. You can either click on the link above and bookmark the updates page, or open Internet Explorer, then go to the Tools menu -> Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there. Your current versions are out-of-date. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

  • Firewall (a must!)
    It is definitely a must have. Some good FREE versions are Comodo, Outpost, or ZoneAlarm.
    Note: You must only use 1 (one) firewall at a time because if you have 2 or more firewalls running at the same time, they will conflict with each other and make your security less reliable. Please also remember to turn off Windows Firewall once you have installed a new firewall.

  • Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

  • SpywareBlaster
    This is a great FREE prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.

  • IE-SPYAD
    This FREE tool puts over 5000 sites in your IE Restricted Zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
    Tutorial: How to use!

  • Spybot - Search & Destroy
    This is a very powerful FREE tool that can search for and annihilate nasties that make it onto your system. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features for realtime protection.
    Tutorial: How to use!

  • Ad-Aware SE
    This is another very powerful FREE tool that searches for and kills nasties that infect your system. Ad-Aware SE and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
    Tutorial: How to use!

  • AVG Anti-Spyware
    This is an excellent FREE scanner to look for trojans and other nasties that might be residing in your system.
    User Manual: How to use!

  • SUPERAntiSpyware
    This is another excellent FREE scanner to look for nasties that might be lurking in your system. SUPERAntiSpyware and AVG Anti-Spyware compliment each other very well.
    Quick Guide: How to use!

Please also read Tony Klein's excellent article How I got Infected in the First Place and this CastleCops article Malware Prevention: Prevent Re-infection.

Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck! biggrin.gif
