I can't use my internet or email at all - I was lucky to finally make it here.

Earlier today, I noticed that when I tried to open my home page it would say (in the (task?) bar): "toolbar.desktoptraffic" - instead of saying: finding yahoo.com. Then I would get the "The page cannot be displayed" page.

Here are all the spyware tools I have used: Aluria, Ad-aware, stopzilla, spybot sd, registry mechanic, spywareblaster, and hijack this. Nothing has helped!

From what I understand the new sp2 was meant to correct a lot of problems, but I wasn't able to download it. I have windows xp and once I tried to download sp2 and my computer completely messed up. It wouldn't start - it would only do a loop of the "compaq" screen. So, another question. Is it safe for me to download sp2 yet? I'm hoping microsoft has fixed it's problems with it. And would sp2 even help with all this spyware, trojans, etc.?

I have high-speed internet, but with all these problems my computer was faster with dial-up!

One other thing, in normal text (like a news story), I get underlined links. They don't belong there and they are very arbitrary. That started happening after I underlined a word in an eBay ad. Anyway, I clicked on one of these weird, green links once and it went to somebody's personal webpage. Can't figure that one out at all!!

Here is my hijack this log. And if anybody can help...please give me easy directions ...THANKS!!!
