          Hey I just wanted to say thanks for all the help I got early on with my problem.  I was given alot of help but the problem was never resolved.  The last thing I was told to do was to run the above programs and list the hijack-this list.  It has been over a week with no further response.  I will say again as I did before, I followed everything you asked, I understand you are all volunteers, but if can not help any further let me know so I can move on.  I don't like being told to do alot of things and then just left out to hang.  If no one responds to this within another week I will assume that no one has enough respect to just state we can no longer assist you.

          Hello roshcats and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs. I'm sorry for the delay. You should have pasted all your logs in one page. When we look through the forum we look for a thread with no replies. Each reply puts the thread further down the list. However, we'll get started

          1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
          2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
          3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
          4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
          5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
          6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
          7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

            Thank you SD for getting back with me.  My wife uses this for work computer so it will be 12/24 or 12/25 before I can do all this.  About the host files, I don't know what you mean by host file be honest.  Looking through the list, I see AAA and California Automobile Association as two items.  I have never had any dealing with either of those companies nor my wife.  I dont recognize any of those items in that host list.  So what would I do for those items?

              Super Dave, it is her work computer but my personal computer used at home.  She uses it for call center purposes.  She does not use the USB for what she does.  It is me that is needing the USB to work.  You tell me if this would be business computer.
