I need help with this HJT log. I have ran the HJT and fixed some of the the more obvious errors and then run ad-ware and CW shredder and spybot and when I reboot the same problem keeps coming back.
The problems are: 5 added desktop icons, a "your-search-info" home page and a list of bad favorites added.

Reboot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406
then as some of the files or folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Delete these files

C:\WINDOWS\system\systeminit.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\pc32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sstyle.css

then
Reboot normally & post a new log to check
