Ok Mike, couple things I'd like you to do:

Pleae print this out or copy to Notepad.

Download KillBox http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KillBox.exe.

The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! (Alternate Link if main link doesn't work) and install it. Do not run it yet.

I'd like to try another scanner if you don't mind.

Please empty any Quarantine folder in your antivirus program and purge all recovery items in the Spybot program (if you use it) before running this tool.

Download the Mwav virus checker at http://www.mwti.net/antivirus/mwav.asp (Use Link 3)

1. Save it to a folder.
2. Reboot into Safe Mode.
3. Double click the Mwav.exe file. This is a stand alone tool and NOT just a virus checker......so it won't install anything.
4. Select all local drives, scan all files, and press SCAN. When it is completed, anything found will be displayed in the lower pane.
5. In the Virus Log Information Pane......
Left click and highlight all the information in the Lower pane --- Use &CTRL C &on your keyboard to copy everything found in the lower pane and save it to a notepad file
*Note* If prompted that a virus was found and you need to purchase the product to remove the malware, just close out the prompt and let it continue scanning. We are not going to use this to remove anything...but to ID the bad files.

Once you copy that to a Notepad file...highlight the text and copy it here.

Reboot into Safe Mode.

Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. For each of the following files below, check the box that says 'Unregister .dll Before Deleting' if it's not grayed out. Copy and paste each of the following into KillBox (hitting the X button for each file - choose NO when it asks if you want to reboot):

c:\windows\system32\hwclock.0xe

Now, delete that file using Windows Explorer:

c:\windows\system32\hwclock.0xe

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

Reboot into Normal Mode.

Run the Mwav Scan and post that log here
Also, could you post a new HijackThis Scan, do not run it through the Analyzer.

Also, I didn't see Weatherbug in your previous HJT logs:

WeatherBug - it's adware. If you didn't install this yourself, we'll address uninstalling it. If you did install it yourself, you may keep it and ignore the warnings in the TDS-3 or Mwav logs.
