hello all, trying to fix one of the computers at work after an employee was searching for photoshop updates and ended infecting her computer with no end of rubbish. I've experienced spyware quite a few times on my home pcs and friends computers and its never been as hard as this to get rid of them.

i've followed the usual advice and used adaware, spybot, cw shredder with all of them continuingly spotting the offenders (ive run them in normal mode and safe mode) and supposedly removing them but on start up again and again the little dog pops up in the taskbar and the troubles continue :tazz: even spent hours trawling theough regedit but no joy.

heres my hijack this logfile if anyone out there can help.
