I too have been infected by the "good" Dr.watson. From what I've read on this site, I understand that each individual log is different and may require different fixes. Here is my hijack log.. Can anyone help.

PS - Great site by the way ....

[bandaid]

Yes still having many problems. Any time I try to initialize juat about anything from the start menu the Drwatson window comes up. Anything like "run", "control panel", "windows explorer" ..... initializing any of these results in freeze up. I've run Ad-aware se and AVG anti-virus .... found lots of problems, but the main problem persists.

Also there are two programs in the populated control panel, program list that I did not install. Specifically "SEarch extender" and "Shopping Wizard". I asuume they are part of the adware problem. My internet explorer also continues to open in "about blank"
