Hello all -

This is my first post here and I would really appreciate some advice. I found a similar thread from a few years back, but from what I understand, it's preferred that I start my own thread.

The problem I'm having is 2-fold. First, I'm getting this Server Busy box that pops up. It has two buttons: switch to or retry. I cannot make it close by clicking the close button. It comes up sporadically and stays for about a minute or so then just goes away.

Second, although I use firefox, this virus keeps opening up internet explorer. Periodically while I'm using the computer, it will open 3-4 IE windows and it takes me a while to get them closed.

I've done everything that I know how: I ran a full system scan with McAfee (recently updated) and I ran an updated version of Spybot and AdAware.

I don't know what else to do. I did run hijackthis and the log file is below. I don't know what to do with this information.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you -
