Welcome to the forum, I would like to help but we have multiple issues to overcome first.

Read and follow the directions in this link: "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288

Post the results of the antivirus scan mentioned in the instructions, also post a new HJT log that is NOT formatted as the instructions read.
Please provide more information, where exactly are you being redirected.

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [FixWareOut] C:\fixwareout\FindT\XP-2K2.cmd

Looks like you tried to do something with Fixwareout, I have used it many, many times and never seen it running from a HJT log before, please delete or uninstall that program. If we need it I will have other instructions for using it.

once that information is posted then follow the directions in this link: http://forums.security-central.us/showthread.php?t=3165 run the program according to those instructions, delete or at least quarantine anything located and post the scan results as soon as you have them.

Thanks

Thanks for the post. You're right that fixwareout shouldn't be running there. I did follow the steps detailed in before you post and nothing was resolved. However, using this site and others I have happily resolved the issue. Honestly, if it weren't for this site I wouldn't have gotten far. Thanks for doing what you do. Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, I am glad your problems are resolved and would also be glad to look at a unformatted HJT log to make sure all of the infection is gone, I would also need to see the report.txt which should be the the Fixwareout folder if not on the Desktop. There is often files from the infection that do not get removed by the fix and must be researched and removed manually. If you feel you have no issues and that this is not necessary, then I will suggest you do this:

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
