Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go! I'm kool808

Please read THIS first.
==================================
Have an On-line scan at this sites: Trend Micro or Panda Scan or BitDefender.

REBOOT again.

Post a HijackThis log as a new topic in the Malware Removal Forum. It will get a better response there from the people most qualified to analyze logs.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.
