My system is giving me some trouble. Every now and then my Internet Explorer pops up and tries to go to this URL hxxp://shootoutflorida.com/images/mail2.php. I installed Hijackthis and I am pasting the log here:

hi Bhooshan,

might try this: boot computer into SAFEMODE by tapping the f8 key during a computer restart. chose the first option safe mode:
once in safe mode do this:

start>settings>Control Panel> click the Internet options icon

Next:

Click on Delete Cookies.

Click on Delete Files, Make sure Delete all offline content is checked and then click on OK


Then click on Settings, then click on View Files if there is any thing in there, delete what you can
(edit>select all--- then file>delete)

Then at the top in the address bar, at the end where it says:

\Temporary Internet Files

change it to \Temp then hit enter and delete what you can.

prefetch:

Go to:

Start> Run

And type this in:

C:\windows\prefetch

Once this is open Delete everything inside the folder (not the folder itself)

Empty your Temp folders. Go to Start > Run and type:cleanmgr. Windows will scan. When done check these 3 and press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin
