Sooooooo,
How are things?
If your computer still seems amiss, let me know Now!

One minor cleanup item

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

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
-- If you put this here, yourself, please just ignore this fix.--

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

And now, I just thought you should know that....

Your Log is Clean!!

System Restore

Turn off System Restore by Clicking Start > right-click My Computer and then click Properties. Click the System Restore tab > 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. Click OK.

Reboot your System.

Turn on System Restore by Clicking Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives." Click Apply, and then OK.

Windows Updates

I Highly reccomend making the upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 1 & Service Pack 2. Since you're junkware free, the time to get them is NOW. These Service Packs are MAJOR upgrades for XP. Both are is chalk full of security patches and such, as well Service Pack 2 comes with a Free Popup Blocker!!!!!

Preventative Measures

This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. Read How Did I Get Infected In The First Place?.

Also Consider...

* SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
*SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
* IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.

You should also have a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:

* Sygate Personal Firewall
* Kerio Personal Firewalll
*ZoneAlarm

How is she running now? Any further problems? If not, Good work, and Happy Computing!
