Sorry, for professional assistance you'll need to pay a consultant.
We're only doing this as a hobby (at least while contributing to this site).

Sorry, for professional assistance you'll need to pay a consultant.
We're only doing this as a hobby (at least while contributing to this site).

Technically, I suppose that's true, because the only difference between a 'professional' and a 'hobbyist' is one gets paid and the other doesn't.

But I have to say, I trust the members here over any 'pro' I've ever paid, and nearly every online and telephone 'tech support' I've ever dealt with.

Be sure all windows are closed, other then hijackthis, before hitting Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted files:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINS32T.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\System32\tss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Do a search on your system for the following files and delete any instances found:

Win86.exe
win32x.exe

Note: If any of these files cannot be deleted, try booting into Safe Mode and try it again.

Reboot (normal mode), close any open browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log.

To help prevent further intrusion:

Keep Windows and IE updated
Keep your antivirus program updated
Use an alternative browser for the majority of your browsing (such as Firefox or Opera)
Use a firewall
Get SpywareBlaster and keep it updated (remember to Enable all protection after each update)
Be cautious of the websites you visit

Thanks a milliom for your excellent help.
All was running brilliantly till I decided unwisely to be tempted to download Spamblocker Utility. Stupidly I did not realise that it was a con. Cannot clean it from system.Please have a look at my HT log and let me know 1 how to remove Spam Blocker and 2. Does anything else need sorting out on my logfile?

Many thanks

Many thanks once again for your help. Below is the updated HJT log. Computer seems to be running OK now,. What does it look like? I have just done a "Tweak This" registry scan and it detected 10 items of concern "unable to determine the status of the items". I am cautious about deleting them.

They are as follows:-

5 items from Fonts section (myriad.tff)
3 items from Device drivers
1 item from Shared dlls (%Javadir%\QTJava.zip)
1 item from ActiveX/com section

Should I worry about them or is it safe to delete them?

All the best
