Your HijackThis.exe is outdated, please update to the current version which is 1.98.2.
Open HJT, choose Confiq > Misc Tools > Check for update online.
You are seriously deficient in that you have no Ser Pack 1 or any of the critical browser updates. Please go to windows updates:
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us and download and install all critical items suggested by windows for your computer.
Once this is complete, please follow the directions at the next link to download, update, install, configure properly and run both Ad-aware SE (freeware) abd Spybot S&D (freeware)
allowing the programs to remove all of the bad items they locate. Make sure you reboot between the two programs as indicated in the instructions and you need to know this about Spybot: Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.
When the above instuctions are completed, please post a new log using REPLY to make sure you stay in this thread. Include with the log any feedback about any of the scans you completed and any other information about how the computer is functioning that you think might help.
