Ok, somehow my computer was infected with the .Zlob trojan. I was having numerous problems. I have fixed almost everything, removed some of the infected files manually, used AVAST boot scan. Also got rid of a lot of the spyware/adaware that I had. The problem i'm running into now is that my IE7 is being redirected quite often to what appears as a "Windows Security Warning". I know this is a fake warning, just trying to get you to download and install spyware/adware removal software and purchase it. I'm educated in these matters, and have removed every trace that I can find of any type of problem, but I am still being redirected. The site i'm being directed to is http://vnmxjcx.com/redir/?aid=334. You can click on it, it won't infect you or anything of that nature. I'm including a HiJack this log below. I really appreciate in advance any help you guys can give me, and I can follow your instructions rather easily, so no need to go into in depth explanation of steps unless they are really in depth. Thanks again.

you have a smitfraud - i don't think Smitfraudfix will detect it tho - feel free to get the latest version and run it to check, but only run Option 1 and post the result. [don't run option 2 without a positive detection, cos SMF is keen to bust something, and it sets onto your desktop n does that in instead..].. :)Otherwise you could just use HT to fix [in SAFE mode]:
O2 - BHO: msnhlp32.msn_hlp - {EEFBE5D6-FEFF-4CB4-AA26-6A464090CB89} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msnhlp32.dll
...and then still in safe mode search for:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msnhlp32.dll
....and delete it. Try SMF...
