Hi All,

First let me state that I have somewhat of experience in IT, and I solved tough cases in the past. However, this time I'm clueless, since none of the methods I know have worked. I seriously considered formatting / System restoring, and then I saw this forum.

The aforementioned Trojans POP-UP for me various scams (Regcure, for instance) both in Firefox and IE7. I have updated Avast! and it did not find it. Spybot did - but although I remove the Pest, it still comes back...

I tried following this
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=38515

but it didn't work. My PC has XP Home, SP3 fully updated. I don't know if it's related (probably is), but the Security Center thinks autoupdates are off (though they're not), and Firefox cannot save files (IE7 can). All these started during my cleaning attempts. I haven't booted at safe-mode yet, I consider doing so, but I am not sure what should I look for (as I said, the post I used was pretty clear on what to look for).

Following the introductions, I post this log, produced by HiJackThis:

I would really appreciate any help. Currently I'm on vacation, and this bother is really annoying. Thank you!
