Hi gsf,
, you're close--it's Ried.

Did you choose 'Launch the Diagnostic Version'? It should clean those for you even during the Trial phase. Webroot spySweeper is an excellent tool and one of the few that we feel is actually worth the money should you choose to buy it. All of those entries it found, need to go.

We really need an online scan here. Download and install Mozilla FireFox and let's see if we can get on online scan done with Trend Europe

TrendMicro-Europe supports these browsers

* Microsoft Internet Explorer
* Netscape (6+)
* Mozilla (1+)
* Firefox (all)
* Opera (7.5+)

Save the log it produces and post it here along with the following:

Download WinPFInd http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/oldtimer/WinPFind.zip and extract it to your C:\ folder. This will create a folder called WinPFind in the C:\ folder. Do Not run it yet, as it must be run in Safe Mode.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Use the up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode and press Enter.

Inside C:\WinPFind is a file called WinPFind.exe. Double-click on this file to launch the program. Once it is launched, click on the Start Scan button and wait for it to finish. This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works as it can take a while, upwards to 30 minutes or more.! Once the Scan is Complete it will make a txt file (log) of what was found. Save that log and post it here.

Restart one more time back into Normal Mode, run a scan with HijackThis and save the log to post here.
