Hello and welcome to TSF

You are using a beta version of HijackThis... Please remove it using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and delete any HijackThis Folders and Files you have now.

=============================

I noticed that you are using BitComet which is a p2p file sharing program. I think the nature of P2P filesharing is so that even if one is using a "clean" program, many of the files downloaded from non-documented sources have the potential of being infected. So, regardless of whether one is using a "clean" program, one may still be prone to infection by malware. I recommend that you remove it from your system via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

=============================

Please download ComboFix

Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop.

Close all browsers.
- Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
- When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
- Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.

============================

Reboot your computer.

============================

Click HERE to download a self-extracting version of Hijackthis. Double click on the file, by default it will extract itself to C:\Hijackthis

Next, double click on Hijackthis.exe. Click "Scan System and Save a Logfile." A Notepad will appear in your screen, copy and paste the contents of the notepad to your next reply along with the C:\Combofix.txt
