I personally don't like "scottie"

Although it provides protection, it is not very user friendly.

Consider the free program a-squared : it's worth it's weight in gold.

When using Hijack this, always seek advice from someone before deleting anything. What you are looking for in general is BHO entries which are not supposed to be there. In the above log posted obviously Adobe and Spybot should be there, but often you will find something really sus and it's safe to remove.

There is also a program called SmitRem which is good for reclaiming a hijacked computer.

Any issues I can help with - I will - that's my main job

Ewido is also an excellent program.

Most people do not realise that they should delete the system restore points to clear unremovable entries, boot into safe mode and log into the admin account to remove the nasties, that way they are not unremovable or loaded into memory and therefore "in use".

Just a tip.
