Not much left just 1 more entry to remove



Turn off System Restore by doing the following:

Click Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties. Click the System Restore tab and Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives". Click Apply. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this then Click OK.


Go to My Computer >Tools >Folder Options >View tab and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled. Also make sure that the System Files and Folders are showing / visible. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files option.


Reboot your system in Safe Mode (By repeatedly tapping the F8 key until the menu appears).


Open Hijack This and click on Scan. Check the following entries (make sure you do not miss any)

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

Please remember to close all other windows, including browsers then click Fix checked.


Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.
Empty your Recycle Bin.

Reboot your System in normal mode.


Other than that your log is clean. Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.

If you disabled System Restore, make sure to enable it now.
