OK, yesterday I leaped into a post from someone else with similar problems, and tried the fix listed there.
Today I read the sticky and am doing this again.
I am not sure what I have. I get the occasional explorer or firefox window opening by itself to random websites. Every so often spybot will start opening little windows advising my of a Web Helper Object being changed. This happens about every 2 seconds.
Finally what ever this is has reset my windows update utility to disabled and I cannot seem to renable it.
From the sticky, I hit the link to the Kapernsky site, hit the accept button and nothing much happens, so I cannot at this time print a log from there.
If there is a way to make this work please let me know.
I went to the HiJackThis link and this is the log it gave me?
