Hi Baron and welcome to Geeks.
The only way I can help you is if I see a HijackThis log to start with.
If you have a firewall installed on your machine, look in the application rules and deny access to Winhound.exe for starters.
I then need you to download HijackThis_sfx.exe (it's a tiny download). Then disconnect from the internet if you have to.
Double-click the file you've downloaded and click the UnZip button to install the program.
It will install to the C:\Program Files\HijackThis\ folder by default.
Reconnect to the net and post the log in this thread please.

Thanks for the reply, John. I was successful removing winhound by using AVG anti virus latest definitions and Ad-Aware. It was necessary to replace an infected wininet.dll file as well. Thanks again.
