I won't pretend to be an expert, but a similar problem was solved (my Dad's computer that the grandkids got a hold of) by running malwarebytes.   Worth a try until someone can decipher the hijack this log for you.

FYI, the kids now use the guest account :emotion-2:

Welcome :emotion-1:

I'm sorry we could not get to your problem sooner. Thank you for waiting patiently. Just so you do not have to wait longer, I suggest posting a HijackThis log at SpywareHammer.There are instructions HERE for posting at SpywareHammer. The site has many Microsoft MVP's on staff and helpers there may be able to assist you with cleaning and attaching requested files sooner than we can here.

Additional forums that offer malware removal can be found at this link in the recommended sites section on the left side of this page: http://hjt-data.trendmicro.com/hjt/analyzethis/index.php

Please post at only ONE so you do not tie up two or more helpers working on the same issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You received a reply at SpywareHammer within 24 hours of your first post there. That was actually quite good considering that their experts are already dealing with hundreds of other logs, and most of them volunteer their help there after doing a fulltime job in the 'real world'.
At other sites you may be asked to wait for 72 hours before you bump a thread.

NOTE: The issue is being handled at another forum, so this thread is now closed.
Everyone else who is having a similar issue, please begin a New Message at the top of the forum.
