i am not sure what to do now. . .
i have done the following (as per another thread here):::::
Click here to download CWSinstall.exe. Click on the CWSinstall.exe file and it will install CWShredder. Close all browser windows, click on the cwshredder.exe then click "Fix" (Not "Scan only") and let it do it's thing.

When it is finished restart your computer.



Go here and download Ad-Aware SE.

Install the program and launch it.

First in the main window look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window :Click Start then under Select a scan Mode tick Perform full system scan.

Next deselect Search for negligible risk entries.

Now to scan just click the Next button.

When the scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose select all from the drop down menu and click Next)

Restart your computer.



Then go here and download Spybot Search & Destroy.

Install the program and launch it.

Before scanning press Online and Search for Updates .

Put a check mark at and install all updates.

Click Check for Problems and when the scan is finished let Spybot fix/remove all it finds marked in RED.

Restart your computer.

and here is my hjt logfile after doing so.

Your log is not complete and from what you said it does not appear you checked AdAware and SpyBot for updates before running and fixing.

I'd also do

CWShredder http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract..._download.html
Close all browser windows, open cwshredder.exe then click "Fix" and let it run.

Then restart your computer.

Do that and post the entire log.

no, i checked for updates and followed all the directions as mentioned above.

i ran hjt and saved the log, how do i make a complete log?

[MFDnNC]

When you copied and pasted you didn't get the bottom, try again - I doubt that 04 is your last entry.

[superstar]

ok, i ran the spysubtracter and here is the new hjt log (it's every line highlighted)
