figured out the safe mode thing....but i couldnt delete those files as they werent in their obvious places... there wasnt an "auto update" folder nor was there anything called "emsw.exe" in the program files folder, either.... and when i opened up my internet explorer, the hijacked homepage was there, but an added toolbar thing was at the bottom that wasnt there before. i also got the peakcreative.exe file fixed through HJT.
help!
