I was afraid of that. Here we go again.
Turn off system restore by right clicking on My Computer and go to Properties->System Restore and check the box for Turn off System Restore. Click Apply and then OK. Restart your computer. After we are finished with your log file and verified that it's clean, you may turn it back on and create a new restore point.
Give us a new HijackThis log.
Before doing anything, MAKE SURE that you can keep your computer on (at least until we get it fixed). This infection requires us to detect and remove it without rebooting or restarting your computer (unless the instructions say so). If you can't keep your computer on today, then I suggest that you don't get the logs yet until you are ready. With that said (when ready):
Please download the following programs required for the removal process:

We also need a list of files in the following folders:
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ - for these files, if they just have numbers as the filename, right click on them and go to Properties to see what they are. Post the description for each of those here.
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ - there might be a download folder here. We are looking for any randomly named files. Post anything that looks suspicious.
Post all of the logs in your next post. We need them all to get a fix for this infection.
