Hi BadBear and welcome to GeeksToGo! My name is Excal and I will be helping you.
I can see that you have some malware issues. This maybe a few step process in removing it. I encourage you to stick with it and follow my directions as closely as possible so as to avoid complicating the problem further. A malicious .DLL file is disrupting the LSP chain on your computer. We need to get rid of it. 1. Please download LSPFix from here. 2. Run the LSPFix.exe that you have just finished downloading. 3. Check the I know what I'm doing box. 4. In the Keep box you should see one or more instances of mdnsnsp.dll 5. Select every instance of mdnsnsp.dll and move each one to the Remove box by clicking the >> button. 6. When you are done click Finish>>. 7. Reboot and please post a fresh HiJackThis log. |

Please post a fresh HiJackthis log from normal mode
The thing about malware is that somethign new comes out daily. Which means that the anti-malware community is usually a step behind. This is no one program that will find all the malware out there. When we get you cleaned up, I will give u a few suggestions that will lesses the likelyhood of you getting infected again. Hows the computer running? Thanks, Excal |

Great job, it appears your computer is clean
Now that your system is Malware Free, it is important to reset your system Restore. Click Here to learn how to. I recommend that you Defrag your computer before setting your Restore points: Go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Defragmentor Make sure it set to the proper drive (default should be your main driver) and click on defragment Might I suggest the following Free Spyware programs, if you don't already have them, for added security, you can download them at the following links. These programs work great for detection: Ad-aware SE Spybot S&D Microsoft Anti-Spyware If you are unhappy with your current antivirus and want to replace it or if you dont already have one, I suggest one of these free programs: *Note - do not use more than one anti-virus program as it will more than likely cause conflict. AVG Avast AntiVir The following free programs are great for prevention: SpywareBlaster 3.4 Spywareguard IE/Spyad A Firewall is a must! Here are 3 good free versions: (do not have more than one firewall running on your system) Sygate Kerio ZoneLabs There are other options other than Internet Explorer for a browser, which some say have better security. Two of them are: Firefox Opera If you decide to keep Internet Explorer, This site is a great source for tightening up security on It's settings. Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well. For ease use the following program: Cleanup Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided.
