    Hijack This log and question

    Hello, I am new to this forum. I have been working on cleaning out a friend's computer infected with a lot of spyware, actually about 400. He is running Windows XP Home. I have also used SpyBot and Spy Sweeper to check his system and he seems to be ok right now. I wanted to post the log and make sure that nothing was missed. Thank you. I also wanted to to ask a question concerning his search bar in IE and AOL. You now have to type in http://www before accessing a web site otherwise you get an error message. I tried recovering a few things that SpyBot had quarrantined concerning IE, but this did not help. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I have spotted a couple of problems after posting the log on your web site. I also noticed that there is a newer version of Hijack This so I will try to get back over to my friend's house and run a new log to post. Thank you.

    I will check back in a week or two to see how my friend's computer is doing. As far as I know it is doing fine. I appreciate the help with this matter. If there is something I can do to help your group out, please let me know. Thank you again.
