Hi,
Well, I think it was a silly mistake in syntax by me. Since we have the HJT, might as well continue with it. But first,
Have you edited your hosts file for these?
O1 - Hosts: 207.7.142.44 iwalton.com
O1 - Hosts: 207.7.142.44 www.iwalton.com
O1 - Hosts: 207.7.142.44 iwalton.com
O1 - Hosts: 207.7.142.44 www.iwalton.com
O1 - Hosts: 66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.es
If not, please download
HostsXpert.
- Unzip HostsXpert to it's own folder.
- Run HostsXpert.exe
- Click "Make Writable?" in the upper left corner.
- Click "Restore MS Hosts file" and then click OK.
- Close HostsXpert.
- Note: If a custom Hosts file was in place, you'll have to edit those entries back in.

Establish an internet connection & perform an online scan with Firefox or Internet Explorer at
Kaspersky Online Scanner
**Note**
To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
- Close any open programs
- Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan.
Click
Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.
- Click Run at the Security prompt.
- The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
- Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
- Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
- Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
- Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
- Click View scan report at the bottom.
- Click the Save Report As... button.
- Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply.
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.
===============================
Please post back a fresh HijackThis log and the Kaspersky report along with the Add-Remove Programs.txt, and let me know how the computer is running now.
