    You are using an outdated version of HijackThis. Please uninstall the current version and install latest version as per instructions below:


    Click here to download HJTInstall.exe (Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2).
    • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
    • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\HijackThis.
    • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
    • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
    • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
    • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch HijackThis.

    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button.
      • It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
      • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
      • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply (when next requested).
    • DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
    • DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.




    You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

    Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe



    Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure ”Run fixit” is checked and click Finish.
    The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
    You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
    Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

    Once the desktop loads, post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log with any current observations in the forum please.


    POSSIBLE ERROR MSG:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\AUTOEXEC.NT not there

    You are missing a file which is preventing you from running the wareoutfix tool.

    Go to the link below and select your operating system and click the link on that site and follow instructions for obtaining the missing file and try the wareoutfix tool again please.

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    Most people might consider uninstalling this one:

    Viewpoint Media Player



    I don't see you using an always on real-time antivirus tool. Some people think they might get away with this, but I wouldn't want to chance it.


    There are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
    AVG: AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista
    Avast: FREE avast! antivirus 4.x Home Edition, anti-spyware & anti-rootkit for Windows


    If you are overly concerned about using a lower footprint tool then you might want to consider:

    NOD32 - Antivirus Software - Eliminate viruses with ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security (one month free trial)
