Greetings, I certainly hope I can get a bit of help! I have never used hijack prior to this...nor have I had this scenario before. Its seems to be fairly common but each instance can be somewhat different. As per another thread I am providing my hijack logfile for help. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to provide. I look forward to a solutuion to this nasty problem.

Much thanks,
