I've recently got windows xp with my new computer, and even though i installed a firewall before i connected to the web, my computer is constantly referred to advertising sites when i'm browsing (e.g. typing www.foofighters.com took me to a site called something along the lines of netster.com, or something like that). Also, my firewall tells me it has blocked 1977 access attempts in the past 4 days. When i first installed xp, i didn't have a firewall, and was constantly getting messages saying that i had critical errors in my registry and that i needed to go to some site to fix them, where they then tried to charge ~£30. I've downloaded every programme you suggested, and it has found a few things, but the problems persist. Do you have any ideas at all, because i'm at a loss as to what to do.
I've enclosed a hijackthis file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
