No problem. Glad I could help.

Remember …. HJT doesn't see all malware. Far from it. You must keep a watch on your computer and report any unusual happenings.

If you are certain you have no more trouble you should clear out all old System Restore points then immediately create a new one so you have something to fall back on should anything go awry again. Also remember to make SR points on a regular basis.

There is a little duplication/crossover but all these tutorials are well worth reading.

Make sure you only ever have ONE antivirus and ONE firewall in operation at any time and also make sure they are kept fully up to date.

Don’t forget to keep AVG Anti Spyware / Superantispyware updated and use it to scan/disinfect your computer from time to time.

If you do suffer an infection again you should run first Ccleaner to clean out your system.

Also run through this before posting another HijackThis log …
