Hello all,

I am once again attempting to help a friend out by fixing his computer. His computer started exhibiting weird symptoms of some sort of infection. System settings, screensavers and backgrounds and several icons from the desktop were either changed or erased.

I ran all of the programs suggested by GeeksToGo before posting a HiJackThis log. Cleanup cleaned about 90 MB of space and Spybot found some spyware installed on the computer. Other than that, Ad-aware and ZoneAlarm Antivirus found no results.

I have no clue as to what's going on or if I have already removed the problem. The following is my HiJackThis log:
