Hi Gene R, Welcome to GTG !!
Sorry for the delay in reviewing your post

Your log is a little difficult to read

You are currently using HijackThis from a temporary directory, this can cause problems.
HijackThis creates backups, these are needed in case of any recovery issues.
Please create a folder on your C:\ and give it a name (example:HJT), move HijackThis.exe to that folder

Click on HijackThis.exe
Put a check in "Don't show this frame again when I start HijackThis" at the bottom
Click "None of the above, just start the program"
Click on the Scan button
It will scan your system Do Not remove anything with HiJackThis until instructed!
When finished, Click the Save Log button and save the log to the file you put HijackThis.exe in.
Double-click the log (it will open in Notepad, make sure wordwrap is unchecked: Format, uncheck wordwrap) and Copy then Paste the entire contents here
After the log is posted I can then help you more efficiently !!

Thank you !

LinkMaster, thanks for your reply and I am sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I think I resolved the issue. I remember a topic on 'Kim Komando' here while back that if you have a cookie, etc., and it keeps reappearing after you delete it, turn off 'Restore Points' and restart them after a reboot. It appeared to work and the Wife can get to Food Network everytime she goes there now...

However, I did create a folder and for HJT and launched it from there and the log is attached if you would look at it and see if there is anything there I should remove.

Thanks and I understand if you don't have time....

Thanks again....

I would be glad to look at it, but I would like you to Copy and Paste the log instead of attaching it. It is a bit hard to read !
(look at my previous post)

Thanks !
