    Disable TeaTimer, as it'll interfere with the cleaning process:
    Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
    Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
    TeaTimer closes.


    1. Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

    2. Close all windows, except for HijackThis.

    3. Put a checkmark next to the following HijackThis entries (some entries will be checkmarked to disable unnecessary startups; in those cases (marked with *), no actual program will be removed):

      hey Broni,.. well,.. when i opened up hijackthis to "fix" the selected files,.. i couldn't find all the files you wanted me to fix. there were 6 files i couldn't find ,... 5 were " -04 - HKCU\..\runonce: [spybotdeletingB6312, D8742, B3511, D1541, and B8255,] ,.. and one was -08 - extra context menu item & search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbaredits/menusearch.jhtml?p=ZRfox000,.. i checked and fixed all the others,.. but i'm guessing these "missing " files need to be fixed too,. so here's a new HJT log

        The log is clean.

        Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
        Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

        How is your computer doing?

          Hi Broni,.. the computer seems to be doing much better ,.. thanks very much to you. I do still have a question or two. Since i've deleted my Norton Anti-virus, what protection do i have now? Is the AVG a good anti-virus/malware protection?... and is my Windows firewall sufficient?
            Thanks again for all your help,.. it's GREATLY appreciated

          Good...
          AVG is very good AV program. As for malware real time protection, you may want to download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
          It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

          Windows firewall has pretty poor ratings, so I recommend, you download free Comodo firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/, turn off Windows Firewall, and install Comodo.
