And Btw, im on my pc atm, found a way to open my browser other than the desktop and start menu. Looks like ill wipe i guess.

If this is a common occurrence, consider the following:

1. Avoiding the sites/software suspected.

2. Don't use Internet Explorer (if you do) as that's essentially an open door onto your machine.

3. Make an image of your hard drive, once your OS is fully-installed and patched, with some essential and known-safe programs already installed. That was, if this does happen again, you can simply re-create a fresh, uncorrupted drive image. This is best done with a separate drive that is not attached to the system when not making or restoring a trashed drive.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

After you reformat I recommend you read rav009's guide about free security programs here. One thing I don't see in your HjT log is a firewall. Having a firewall other than the Windows firewall is extremely important. I recommend that be one of the first things you install after the format.

I apologize I couldn't assist you further. But, as I've said I thinks it's the best choice.

Good luck! :)

Edit: I agree 100% with Dunker's 2nd suggestion!
