Hello randomrandom and welcome to TSF,

You are correct that you have quite a few nasties aboard--we'll have to go after them in stages, so bear with me.

Please copy this page to Notepad and save to your desktop for reference as you will not have any browsers open while you are carrying out portions of these instructions.

***************************************************

I realize you installed additional Anti Virus programs in an attempt to clean your system, and while it may seem to be added protection for you, more than 1 Anti Virus can cause conflicts and confusion between the AV programs as well as system instability.

**Please choose and run only 1 AV program and uninstall the other via the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel--if you are able to at this point.

Download haxfix.exeand save it to your desktop.

• Double click on haxfix.exe to install haxfix. (standard installation path is c:\program Files\haxfix)
• Checkmark "Create a desktop icon"
• Click "Next"
• When the installation is completed, make sure that the checkmark "Launch HaxFix" is placed
• Click "Finish"

A red "dos window" (dos box) will open with options:

1. Make logfile
2. Run auto fix
3. Run manual fix
E. Exit Haxfix

• Select option 1. Make logfile by typing 1 and then pressing "Enter"
• Haxfix will start scanning the computer. When it is finished a logfile will open: haxlog.txt > (c:haxfix.txt)
• Copy the contents of that logfile and paste it into this thread along with a new HijackThis log.
