Hi,
Download and run CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot (in that order.)
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Also note the security tips and other important information on that page.

unanswered posts. You should also look for the proper forum for HijackThis
logs and a message along the lines of "Important- Read This First."
