Hello, my brother in laws pc has been infected by malware, I have tried to remove as much as I can but there is a couple of things that keep coming back in, here is the latest hijackthis log for the system. His pcs browser is being redirected so I brought his pc over to my house and will fix it from here but I need a few tips on getting rid of all the bad stuff once and for all. He had no antivirus, firewall etc so I put some on it for him but it wont let me update from his pc so I had to transfer everything from a usb stick over.
