when I selected a link, up came the MSN home page every time.

Tonight, the same thing is happening, but this time I am getting a site
called Romemaster.com.


Looks like you should be posting your own HijackThis! log somewhere? ; )
(not here because of bandwidth and storage reasons for real NNTP
users of this newsgroup.)

FWIW the links you found seem to be more like others reporting the
same symptom than actual solutions for it. E.g. formatting and reinstalling
your OS seems slightly extreme, although I suppose with malware you might
assume that if you have one case of it there might be others lurking undetected
which arrived through the same hole in your security. One thing that I thought
was interesting in one of the HijackThis! logs was the proxy information
being exposed. I have never read about that being used as a vector
but it makes lots of sense, albeit trivially easy for a user to spot if they
were looking for it.
