Much of my problem seems to stem from Adware.Livechat, but I seem to have others as well. I followed the removal sequence on Symanted site for fixing livechat by unselecting system restore, running scans, deleting unwanted files and then rebooting, but it still keeps coming back.
I have also found, with the use of ewido, and others recommended in your "Prior to posting a logfile"
Adware.Searchtoolbar.100
Spyware.Msnagent
Spyware.Findspy
Files that get quarantined but seem to return are:
bndmod.exe
rdsndin.exe
himicro.exe
ntfsnlpa.exe
I've done the entire prcedures requested in the "before you post a Hijackthis logfile" and I'm semi-computer literate, so I'm hoping you can help me fix this. I've backed up all my important files.
Here's the Hijack log and thanks in advance for any and all help!!
