First of all my desktop went to a blue background with an Internet Explorer Trojan error message, I ran Ad-Aware and rebooted, and now have a black desktop. My IE keeps trying to go to http://startsearches.net which displays some DNS Error message with pop ups to spyware links.
I've run the recommended programs:
Ad-Aware , got no errors.
CW Shredder found no infections
Spybot S&D fixed 9 problems
Ewido found 21 infected files (saved a report if you need it)
Downloaded SP1a for XP
Ran my log file off HJT in the online analyser and it came up with quite a few nasties which I was going to rectify, but as I'm a relative newbie to this, thought I'd get some professional assistance.
Here's my HijackThis log file:
