Now run HiJackThis. The resultant log will tell us everything we need to know in order to clean up anything left.
Follow these instructions.
First, create a folder in C:\Program Files and label it HiJackThis. This is where you will download This executable file. This is also the folder where your HJT backups will be stored.
Close all windows, including this and any other browser windows. Launch HJT and click the Scan button. When the scan is finished, the Scan button will have changed to Save Log. Click that and save the log to your HJT folder. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING YET. Most of the listed items are harmless or even essential. Wait for recommendations from someone trained in HJT log file interpretation.
Now open the saved log file... In the toolbar at the top of the window under Edit, select Select All. Copy (Ctrl+C) the text and paste (Ctrl+V) it into a reply in this thread.
