Thanks a lot!

Welcome marcie_aka_shug

Your computer has a number of spyware programs that we need to remove. For more info on spyware see the Spyware FAQ link in my signature.

Let's start with a few free programs:
CWShredder is the first to run. Here's why: If a CoolWebSearch variant is indeed running on your system, it may actually prevent you from running spyware scans. It is smart enough to detect efforts to detect it, and stop them. Download CWShredder to your desktop or other location. Close all browser windows, double click the CWShredder icon to run, then click the Fix -> button. When finished, reboot and run Spybot Search & Destroy.

Spybot Search & Destroy Download and install. Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the Search for updates button, if any are found then click the Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in red, then click the Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.

Ad-aware Open Ad-Aware and use the Check for updates now link. Download and accept the latest reference file. When finished click the Start button. When done scanning, the Abort button will change to Next. Click the Next button. Right-click in the Scanning Results window and click "Select all objects". Then click the "Next" button and confirm that you want to delete the selected entries.

When finished, Reboot your computer. Finally, reply to this post with a new HiJackThis log so we can look for any nasties that may have been missed.

I am wondering if everything is cleared up?

Thank you very much!

[Smokey]

Better, better. Good job . Just a little cleaning up to do. Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

The following are optional and not required (fix the ones you don't need, they're all using up RAM):

Reboot your PC.

If you would please, rescan with HijackThis and post a fresh log.

Can you tell me how to get rid of all the yahoo messenger stuff. I would either like to download it again, or run my yahoo id through trillian, yahoo messenger will not open and Trillian will not accept my Yahoo password. (I have already changed it )

Thanks again,

Marcie

Almost there . Reboot in safe mode (by tapping F8 at startup and select safe mode from the menu). Be sure you're able to view hidden files and folders, and remove the following files:

Do you know what "Dial-up Meter" is? If you use it don't delete it. If you don't know what it is, delete it:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DU Meter] C:\Program Files\DU Meter\ <-- This Folder
