A couple of things going on with my system. While I use FireFox mainly as my browser (and it has no probs


1. IE's home page gets changed to www.yahoo.com, despite what I do to set a different home page.
2. IE is getting popups and some of the relevant info is "popupsearches.com" and "begin2search".
3. I have something that keeps starting as a process that continually changes it's name to something random. I can end the processes, but they come back on reboot and/or any use of IE. Some of the names are VMOMNWG.EXE, LITMHY.EXE, WUAUCLT.EXE, FSGTZD.EXE, SFHBWB.EXE, ZUBMGBQ.EXE, BBGAIX.EXE... None of these comes up in any search from google, so I reckon they're just using random names... These processes routinely try to connect to the internet, but I "block always" for each of them.
4. Followed all instructions in your "ReadMe 1st" sticky. I have run full scans with AdAware, Spybot and NAV. All fully updated. AdAware found entries for VX2 and BEGIN2SEARCH and these removed. SpyBot found Haxdoor/DRAW32.DLL issue and I renamed DRAW32.DLL to DRAW32.OLDDLL.
5. As a result of all of this, my EXPLORER.EXE (not IEXPLORE) has stopped responding and routinely freezes and crashes. It takes about 10 minutes after startup to settle down and become usable, and even then is very unstable, and during that time takes up a a fair bit of CPU. I have installed Universal Explorer and this helps quite a bit as a File Manager, but doesn't completely replace Win Explorer in that all folder shortcuts still revert back to Win Explorer, and you still need to set all Folder Options type of stuff in Windows as well. Perhaps a recommend of a better File Manager to replace Windows could be made?
6. I removed several desktop icons that appeared and these were for Casinos, Movie and Music Downloads, Online Games etc...
7. Another symptom is that something is randomly bolding, underlining and creating web links from random words in IE pages. If you hit these words, you are sent to "popupsearches.com".
In any case, thanks for your patience, here's the HJT Log:
