    Hello, could you please follow these instructions:

    1. Download AboutBuster http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip

    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.

    2. Download Ad-aware from here. Open the Ad-aware program and near the bottom click the Check For Updates link. This will open the update manager. Follow the prompts to update your Ad-aware Reference File. Close Ad-aware for now, we will use it later.

    3. You may want to print out these instructions for further reference when completing the following steps.

    4. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

    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"

    5. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

    Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service". When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

    6. Then reboot your PC into Safe Mode. If you don't know how to do this, see here for further instructions.

    7. Restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shuqs.dll/sp.html#22776
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://shuqs.dll/index.html#22776
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = res://shuqs.dll/index.html#22776
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shuqs.dll/sp.html#22776
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\isvmq.dll/sp.html#22776
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shuqs.dll/sp.html#22776
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://shuqs.dll/index.html#22776

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Compaq
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8431D630-BFFA-E427-E86A-AD42E33BE040} - C:\WINDOWS\crws32.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iehi32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\iehi32.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [sdkwq32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\sdkwq32.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [sdksc.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdksc.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [iexv.exe] C:\WINDOWS\iexv.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [javarh32.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\javarh32.exe

    O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=ZPxdm177

    Then delete the following files and folders:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\iehi32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\sdkwq32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdksc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\iexv.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\javarh32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\sysez.exe

    8. Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report (copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.

    9. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.

    10. Clean out temporary and TIF files. Go to Start > Run and type in the box: cleanmgr. Let it scan your system for files to remove. Make sure that Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files and Recycle Bin

    11. Reboot to normal mode

    12. Finally, pay a visit to Housecall. Scan for and remove any infected files found on your system.

    Post a fresh HijackThis log and the AboutBuster report back here please.
