Whew...you have a whole slew of things that need to go...

Please look in Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any of the following

WebHancer
New.Net or NewDotNet
Internet Optimizer
MessengerPlus 3! (usually comes with Lop Infection)
Ares
Limewire
Windows AdService

Afterwords do these few scans for me
Download Spysweeper here
http://www.malwareteks.com/dload.php?action=download&file_id=5
-Update to the latest definitions and run it
-Please attach the log when returning

ISeeYou
http://forum.networktechs.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22563&d=1141266457
-Reboot to Safe Mode
-Save to Desktop
-Double Click ISeeYou.bat
-In 20-30 seconds a log will generate
-Save it for me and attach when you return

So I need the following logs when you return

Spysweeper
ISeeYou
HijackThis

Tks so much! There's one problem though. Using Hijackthis, i 'fixed' internet optimizer and then i deleted it from it's folder. From add/remove programs it said that it's already uninstalled and it asked me whether i would like to remove it. I said yes. However, some websites STILL get redirected to the help internet optimizer home page! :S what do i do?! Pls some one help!!

Thats fine for now, just carry out the rest of my Instructions by doing the Spysweeper and ISeeYou scans and attaching the three logs.
