Hey guys I've been infected by what I think is a hijacker.
I have run adaware, spybot and nothing has come up.
It is affecting everytime I view a webpage in IE or Firefox.
Downloading via torrents or flashget is fine as is connecting to msn messenger.
I have attached a screen shot and my Hijack THis log.
Thankyou to anyone who can help me.

Here is a screenshot

Is FlashGet a free version? If so, I guess that problem is that.
It's bundled with ads. Try leechget instead and uninstall FlashGet ->

ok i tried that but nothing helped
I think the prob might be deeper than a little adware hicup
I think maybe a reboot would be all that will help.
ANymore help would be much appreciated
and a big thanks -kemisti-.

Well, let's try this:

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download AproposFix from here:
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe

Save it to your desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Then please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click aproposfix.exe and unzip it to the desktop. Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run RunThis.bat. Follow the prompts.

When the tool is finished, please reboot back into normal mode, and post a new HijackThis log, along with the entire contents of the log.txt file in the aproposfix folder.
