Hi Jamie,
It may be a good idea to post a HiJack This log at a forum where it can be
analyzed for malware. D/load HiJack This from here:
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/#Top
Create a new folder on your Desktop and call it HJT. Now, unzip the
hijackthis.exe file from the zipped archive that you d/loaded into the HJT
folder that you created. Ensure that all browser windows are closed, and
then run hijackthis.exe, opting to Scan (do NOT fix anything yet!) then opt
to Save Log. You could then copy and paste the contents of the Log in a New
Thread at Cybertechhelp's Cyber Safety forum:
http://cybertechhelp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25
You'll need to register (registration is free) at the Cybertechhelp site in
order to post there.
