Thanks for coming so quickly, DieHard! Appreciate the fast response.

Clinton, I've been working with these folks for a while now. They really know what they're doing so you are in good hands. Just follow the instructions carefully and let us know how it works out.

Don't forget to submit the file. Doing that will get it added to the reference files & help the next person clean it easily.

not sure how to do what die hard wants?
What is a safe mode, press F8 when the computer starts up again. How do I move the file?
Then you need to reboot, preferably into safe mode.(Press F8 repetedly at start)
If you please could move this file, in bold:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.vbe

Corrine,

I did what was suggested and it seems to work. But, (as always) the sites continue to show in my favorites? How can i get them out of there?

clinton, Smile

Those files on your desktop are the "backup"-files from HJT.
They end up there, when you have HJT on your desktop:
C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

You could delete those files , they are of no use.

Please scan again with HJT and post a new log and letīs have a look at it .

regards

Clinton Smile

There are a couple of things you could do to rid you of the shortcuts. The first, which you already tried I guess, is to delete them from the desktop. But isnīt it so, that they return after a reboot?

The other thing you could try is to right click on the icons, then click "properties" and under tab "shortcut" you will have the filepath. Copy it into the search feature and the file will show. Then rightclick on the file and choose (Iīm a little uncertain here as I have to translate, but I think it would be) "open the folder of the object" or something similar. Once there, delete the source of the shortcut, which I think is a IE-icon.

Regards

Die Hard Smile
