Hello Ian1990, my name is fenzodahl512 and welcome to Geekstogo..
Please have a read at this topic and do all the preliminary steps given.
If you are using Windows Vista, or if you are using XP and already have Service Pack 1a or later, please ignore Step Three: Windows Updates and continue with Step Four: Reboot - Test
It should handle about 70% of your malware problem.. Should the problem still exist, please post a fresh HijackThis log here as shown in the Step Five: Posting a Hijack This Log.. Thank you
Regards
