Watch where you point that finger. 8-) You are in need of the services of a "Malware Forum": cache of http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Must-Read-Before-Posting-Hijackthis-Log-t2852.html After you get things cleaned up, you need to do some Behavior Modification. It's MUCH easier to *avoid* infections than to deal with them afterwards. cache of http://techguylabs.com/radio/ShowNotes/Show327toc3 (#6 does not apply to the insecure DOS-based operating systems that Micros~1 was producing in 1998/1999--i.e. Windows 98.) Some tricks you need to learn: 1) Stop clicking on everything that pops up on your screen. Use the Esc key--not the mouse--to get rid of things that pop up on your screen. 2) For things that the Esc key doesn't clear, use Alt+F4 (while holding down the Alt key, hit the F4 key) to close a window / end a process. 3) STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER. Install Firefox or Opera (both are FREE) and use THAT to surf the Net. These modern Web browsers are less likely to ASSIST in infecting your computer.

Follow his links to a malware forum for cleaning instructions. If you aren't experienced, you will need assistance from someone that is used to dealing with these problems. It can be quite involved and complicated. Please do not use your full name when posting on forums. For security reasons, it's a very bad idea. Select a nick name to go by and use that when posting. You can do that here and other forums as well. Good Luck!!
