    Default *Some issues with possible spyware

    I have run AVG spyware , vundo fix a couple of times, Search and destroy, and other programs, and I still seem to have some problems. Not sure exactly what. I did have Smitfraud-C.888 and thought I had gotten rid of through a free download fix: Smitfraud Fix which I did in Safe Mode and then it saved files into a folder on my desktop. Earlier, I had a problem getting browers to open up and then they finally did after waiting quite a while. There must still be some spyware on my computer, but I think I've gotten rid of most of it. At any rate, here's a log file from HiJackThis:
    Hopefully someone can help me with this.
    thanks,

    Think to the future.
    1. If members do not respond to a helper.
    2. Acknowledge them when they ask, "Any more problems?" after a cleanup.
    3. Provide a final log as requested.


    Then next time assistance may not be provided, it will be volunteer helpers decision.
