Hi Dave and welcome to the forum:) I think I see your problem and we will try to remove it, but first a couple of other items.

1) C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe read a little about this junk:
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/Pest.aspx?id=453088059 and
http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/p2p/ see this:

Limewire (The most current version of Limewire is reported to include spyware. LimeWire 4.9.28 is clean. Older and newer version may not be.)
chances are junk was bundled with this product even if you paid for it. If you are going to use p2p file sharing, I suggest you choose a safe program from the link I provided. Here is some information for you:
http://pcpitstop.com/spycheck/p2p.asp
http://pcpitstop.com/spycheck/badtorrent.asp

2) HJT needs a permanent folder and you are using a folder called downloads. I would prefer you move HJT to C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe. If you need more help with that use this information:
http://russelltexas.com/malware/createhjtfolder.htm
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial94.html

3) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [msqssr] c:\program files\common files\system\msqssr.exe /install

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Enable hidden files&folders..reverse the process when finished.
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\program files\common files\system\msqssr.exe <<< file

Now go here: http://www.atribune.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1332

Download ATF-Cleaner here: http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
ScreenShots: are available there, then follow these directions:

Save it to your Desktop

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Restart your computer and post a new HJT log. Let me know how the computer is running now.

Thanks...pskelley
