I ran Sysclean, but didn't really know what to do next. Lost the support page and couldn't find it on the website. Also posted HiJack log to 2 forums and have yet to get any replies. After all this I still cannot open IE. Any other suggestions.? Thanks. Maybe I missed something somewhere.......ran Spybot, Ad-Aware, Antivirus, About Buster, CWShredder, LSPFix (no problems with connection) and lastly HiJackThis.......
