Can we take a closer look, could you please download Hijackthis....
This will help identify certain problem areas of the registry where hijackers like to add certain keys and values...
Identifies running processes and start page entries.

But first---Make a permanent folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from HERE (http://\"https://ssl.perfora.net/tools.radiosplace.com/HijackThis.exe\") or HERE (http://\"http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe\")
Save it to that new folder

Open Hijackthis
Do a SCAN----Scan will change to SAVE LOG----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log
here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

Do you have any Spyware protection or removal tools
Please don't install any that you see in a popup window, they can usually do more harm than good.
I have links to free ones that are legitimate, but let's see a Hijackthis log first, thanks.
