Just moved from 98 to XP (sp2) and was infected within minutes. Initial problem was a desktop and browser hijack. I followed all the steps recommended on this site (clean up-adaware-cw shred-spybot-esido-windows update) and it fixed my desktop hijack but I can't get rid of the browser hijack. I've run through the suggested fixes 3 times over, all programs having updated definitions, to no avail.
Here is my Hijack this log, please help if you can!
