Make sure you have both Spybot S&D and AW updated. Close all open windows, before 
running the scans. If you haven't been helped on another forum, paste your HJT log 
here in a post. Also, please post the exact names of the other tools you used. If 
they're on this list, remove them:

Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites

Ad-Aware SE Personal Also, download the "Ad-Aware VX2 Cleaner Plug-In". 
Follow these instructions and run a full system scan: 
Reconfigure Ad-Aware for Full Scan

_SpyBot

Before rebooting into Normal mode, clear out all your temp folders to get rid of 
any junk hiding in there. Go into Internet Options - delete TIF and choose 'delete 
all Offline content'. Settings - set the size of your TIF folder between 5 - 10 MB. 
Choose - View Objects - choose View Details on the toolbar. If any ActiveX Controls 
are marked "unknown" or "damaged", remove them. Remove any you don't recognize or 
no longer need. Empty C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. 
Note: Some temp files may currently be in use, until the next reboot. Empty Recycle 
bin. 

If you still have problems, run HJT and paste the log here in a post: 
Hijack This 1.98.2 Unzip 'HJT' into it's own folder (ex: C:\HJT), because 
it creates backups. Log off and close all open windows. Run the Scan. Most of the 
entries listed are legitimate or required entries. Don't fix anything, until 
you know which items to fix. For a description of the entries:

After the scan is finished, the Scan button will turn into Save Log. Press that and 
paste the contents here. Note: Before posting the log, check this box: Check this 
box to preserve your spacing, etc....

Recommended to install SpywareBlaster (freeware), to help prevent future malware 
infections. It's for prevention/protection only; it's not a cleaner: Check for and 
download updates after installing it. Enable protection. SpywareGuard can be used, 
in addition, for real time protection. Check for updates frequently:

Consider using an alternative browser as your main browser. FireFox or Opera are 
a couple good choices. IE has too many security issues and is very vulnerable to 
malware infections and hijackings. For other tips and suggestions:
