Working on my mom's computer (some popup 'told' her that she had a virus) and have noticed two problems. Undoubtedly there are more, but here are the two that I have found:
1. Google Redirects: You know the routine...mediaplex and vaguely related search results, no doubt for more bogus spyware 'removal' tools.
2. I can't download Ad-Aware. The download window pops up, but the OK/Save button stays greyed out. Other downloads seem unaffected.
(2b. How are you guys liking the new version of Ad-Aware? I've read mixed but mostly positive reviews)

Here's a HijackThis logfile. Of course, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

You might want to get your Mom involved in this, You have not read the directions pinned to the top of the forum and posted above. The out of date HJT log shows me that and the fact you have no Service Pack on this computer.

Update Your Windows XP.
You are currently using an unpatched version of Windows XP.
Before attempting to remove malware, it is CRITICAL that you update to Service Pack 1a.
Get SP1a here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx
You should also get SP2, but NOT NOW, rather only after your machine is clean.
After updating your Windows to SP1a, post a new HijackThis log please, using the Post Reply button.

You are infected,

Thanks
