Here's what I have downloaded and tried to no avail:
*HijackThis
*AutoRuns
*KillBox
*SmitRem
*Adware Away
*AdAwareSE
*SpywareBlaster
*SpyBot Search & Destroy (now gone)
*CWShredder
The only thing that's ever been close to indentifying anything useful has been
"AdAwareSE"
It came up with this...

Program masks as doing one thing, but does another.

I've tried removing this particular Registry Key, but it returns immediately.
Also...
SmitRem has claimed this:
Wininet.DLL has been identified as infected
But no other stats or info given as to why or
how to fix
I do not have a Windows disk so I've been cautious as to what I do. I've tried MANY different fixes and I'm getting desperate.
HijackThis gets rid of it...and it returns upon connecting to the internet. ALL of the above downloads seem to work...then all the problems return upon connection to the internet. Any new advice would be much appreciated...thanks and will await instructions...
