    OK, glad things have finally gotten worked out.

    We have 3 more things to do, to help ensure you have removed all the little 'leftovers' which may be hiding:

    Empty the TIF (Temporary Internet Files)
    Delete all the files in (and any subfolders of) the C:\Windows\Temp folder
    The app below will help with temp files.
    Index.dat Suite

    Also, delete all your cookies, and empty your recycle bin. But remember, by deleting your cookies, you will have to re-enter any passwords and log-in info for any sites you are usually required to do so with.

    This would also be a good time to set a new system restore point for your machine.
    Set New System Restore Point. Do not do this unless there are no other user accounts to be diagnosed.

    Also, as you are an XP user, if there are any other accounts on this machine, they too, must be cleaned with AdAware, Spybot S&D, then HJT. Not all infections are global, nor are all the HJT fixes global. You can post each user account here into this thread, but please, do only one at a time to avoid confusion.

    Here is a link which describes how security apps work with WIN XP machines.
    XP User Accts Security Apps Operation

    To further prevent the installation of ad/mal/spyware, DL the apps below, which are just as good the fight against ad/mal/spyware as AdAware & Spybot S&D:

    SpywareBlaster
    With SpywareBlaster v3.5.1 , just DL, install and check for updates, enable Internet Explorer protection, and your done! I don't recommend using IE restricted sites protection as it's not a very large database. Use IE-SPYADs below.

    To avoid known malware infested sites from loading in IE install IESPY ADS.
    And MVPS Hosts File will accomplish a similar tactic and provide another layer of protection.

    And to prevent unknown applications from being inserted to start up on your machine install WinPatrol v10.0.1

    Links for tutorials for all the apps I mentioned can be found on my site as well.

    Confused about which apps are good or not? Read about Rogue/Approved Anti Security apps

    And just because you have security apps installed, they are useless unless updated regularly. Keep track of updates for ALL your security needs here:
    Calendar of Updates

    Subscribe to update alerts for all the above security apps here.

    You can also see my own ongoing security testing with all the above apps proving how securely you can safe with them installed.
