Other than this advice http://tinyurl.com/yvqf2, sorry no further ideas. You can post your HijackThis log to the Spywareinfo.com forums, to see if this is caused by malwar.e

5 dollars wasted! After running 'restore taskbar defaults' my computer now
opens with the quick launch bar in place, but with only 3 icons visible, and
always in the same order. Any other ideas on how I can get it to reopen the
way I leave it on closing down?
