You have posted a log for assistance here: http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php?showtopic=132590 and you are already receiving assistance. Further, this is the second time that I know of that you have posted for assistance for the same issue at more than one site. The previous occurrence was here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic412993.html Please refrain from doing so in future.

Please refrain from asking for help from others while you are being instructed by someone helping you with a log elsewhere. Any modifications you make can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted. Further, following advice outside of that post may cause confusion for the Helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer. If you had posted your log here, similar rules would apply. We would ask that you refrain from asking for help elsewhere.

If you followed any other advice already, please ensure you inform your Helper when they respond to assist you with your log. This will help them know what has been done and they probably will ask for an updated log.

To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic. If you still need assistance after your log has been reviewed and you have been cleared, please start a new topic. If you have any questions, please PM me or another moderator.

Thanks for your cooperation.
