Hi there :).

Run HJT again, and place a check next to the following items.


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3E422F49-1566-40D3-B43D-077EF739AC32} - (no file)

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {5AA06644-BC46-4220-A460-47A6EB47C96D} - (no file)

Click Fix Checked

------------------------------------------------------------------
Then please download ewido - www.ewido.net - Install. Update. Scan. Remove anything it finds.

Post a new log - I belive you have somthing in your winsock, that may be causing the problem. We will work with that next log.

Here's my latest HJT log.

Ok, that log looks clean. But if you don't reconize the IP's in the 017 entries you can check them. Just be sure you don't know what they are for, and don't belong to your ISP, or a DNS server.
