Forgive me for opening another post, however my problem has gotten much worse - but at least I have some logs for you now...

Networking seems to be gone - if I launch IE it says that "msvcrl.dll" is missing.
Can't unistall program "Spy Doctor" - if I try - the CPU utilization hits 100% and hangs.

Have done everything I can think of - and am attaching the following logs:

Hijack This log
Report from AVG Anti-Spyware
Report from SmitFraudFix

I run WinXP SP2 insides of Parallels Desktop for Mac as a VM. Some of my work programs will only run under windows. I still have complete connectivity on the Mac side of things - but nothing under Windows.

If there's anyway you can help me tonight - I'd really appreciate it. I've lost almost 2 days to this nightmare - and I'm on a deadline for work.

Thanks,
Barbara
(Happy New Year!)

I'm not exactly sure why no one responded to anything I posted - but I solved my problem for the most part.

If anyone is interested - Internet Explorer disappeared completely from my Add/Remove programs. I ended up hacking the registry to tell it IE wasn't installed, and then installed FireFox. Once I got around IE - I was able to get networking going again in parallels.

I still have cleanup to do - IE wants to "clean up" everytime I start windows - but hangs if I let it. And my NetBarrier on the MAC side shows I had a pretty good IP attack recently

I've also turned on my notifications, and am seeing a variety of "dotXXX" programs attempting to contact 17.250.248.103 - which according to WhoIS is registered to Apple ;-). Seems a bit weird - so time for a tech support call I think.

If anyone happens to know a way to clean IE completely off my system - feel free to pass along. However, I'm going to close this issue.
