Hi and welcome to the Help2Go forums.
My name is John Brouwer - if it helps, you can call me John for short. I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.
HijackThis logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need
your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happens.
These rules are good for you to know:
I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
If you don't reply within five days after my last instructions this topic will be closed. If you will not be able to reply within five days please tell me how long it will take so the topic will not be closed.
These rules are to make my voluntary work more comfortable:
Please be patient. The work I do is voluntary and I also have a private life (school, work, friends and hobbies).
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
Also, don't post logs as attachments. Other helpers like to view the logs as well and opening a lot of attachments is irritating. It can also contain malware.
Finally, please make a uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:
Start HijackThis
Click on the Open The Misc Tool Section button
Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Save the file to your desktop and post the contents in a reply to this topic. Also post a new HijackThis log as things may have changed.
THANKS JOHN FOR HELPING ME WTH THIS.
I DO APPRICIATE IT.

There is some malware in your log, so let's try to get rid of it.
You aren't running Firewall Software. Please download and install one of them first!
Use a Firewall - Using a Firewall on your computer can be very important. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. There are some different situations you can be in where a third-party firewall may or may not be a good addition to your system:
If you are not using Windows XP or Vista, but an older version I recommend you to use a firewall.
If you are using Windows XP or Vista, but are on dial-up I recommend you to use a firewall.
If you are using Windows XP or Vista and are using broadband, but are not experienced in using firewalls and getting the choice to allow or disallow things I recommend you to use Windows Firewall.
If you are using Windows XP or Vista, are using broadband and experienced, I recommend you to disable Windows Firewall (as it is not perfect) and get a third-party firewall.
Step 1: Disable SpySweeper
Please disable SpySweeper as it may interfere with the fix.
Double click on Webroot Spysweeper icon near the clock (it's a yellow shield) .
Click on Shields button on the left.
Select the Web Browser tab. Uncheck all the boxes there.
Select the Network tab. Under Critical Network Shields, uncheck Internet Communication box.
Select the Windows System tab. Uncheck all the boxes there.
Select the Startup Programs tab. Uncheck Startup Items box.
Click on the Options button on the left.
Select the Shields tab.
Uncheck Protect against viruses box under Antivirus Protection.
Close Webroot Spysweeper.
Once your log is clean you can re-enable those settings in SpySweeper.
Step 2: Download and Run ComboFix
Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool: A guide and tutorial on using ComboFix
