Great, thanks...

Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11

These are all outdated, and security risks by having them installed still. Unfortunately, Java does not uninstall previous version when you update, nor tell you that you should.

Leave Java(TM) 6 Update 7 alone, as it has the most recent security updates.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. Place a check next to the following entries if they exist (make sure you do not miss any) and click Fix Checked

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbar...tml?p=ZCfox000

It may be helpful to know that when you put an item in your Trusted Zone, it has pretty much full access to your computer... Are you sure you trust this site to that degree?? If you're not sure, and/or you do not need these in your trusted zone to facilitate access, or you did not knowingly permit this access yourself, then please fix the following O15 entries:

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://www.dragongamez.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.maplestory.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.tenderfoot.com

Close HijackThis now.

Please run this online scan to help look for remnants. One vendor's definitions may find what another's does not.

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.

Note: You will need to use Internet explorer for this scan
Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan
Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
Click Start
When asked, allow the activex control to install
Click Start
Make sure that the option Remove found threats is unticked, and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
Click Scan
Wait for the scan to finish
Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic and also let me know how things are now.
