I'll take a look...

[Broni]

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

2. Download, and install Spybot (if you don't have it) from here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

3. Close all windows, except for HJT.

4. Put a checkmark next to following HJT entries:

- R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = dynhost.inetcam.com;register.inetcam.com

- O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)

- O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [System] c:\windows\lsass.exe (User 'Default user')

- O20 - Winlogon Notify: arm32reg - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Settings\arm32.dll (file missing)

5. Click on "Fix It" button.

6. Restart your computer in Safe Mode (F8)

7. Run Spybot (click on updates, first), and fix whatever it asks you to fix.

8. Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options, put a checkmark next to "Show hidden files, and folders".

9. Delete following files (if they still exist):

- lsass.exe from c:\windows\ folder (Do NOT confuse it with legit Micro$oft lsass.exe file located in c:\windows\system32 folder)

- arm32.dll from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Settings\
folder

10. Turn off System Restore.

11. Restart in Normal Mode.

12. Turn System Restore on.

13. Run HJT again, and post back its log back here.

We'll have to,  most likely, work little bit more, since you have "mywebsearch" present

Doing all that help a lot, it still freezes up but not nearly as much. Here is my hijack log after all of this.

Well, we have work to do...

   0. Create Autoruns folder in your root C:\ directory.

   1. Download and extract the Autoruns (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Autoruns.mspx) program to C:\Autoruns

   2. Reboot into Safe Mode.

   3. Navigate to the C:\Autoruns folder you created in Step 0 and double-click on autoruns.exe.

   4. When the program starts, click on the Options menu and enable the following options by clicking on them. This will place a checkmark next to each of these options.

         1. Include empty locations

         2. Verify Code Signatures

         3. Hide Signed Microsoft Entries

   5. Then press the F5 key on your keyboard to refresh the startups list using these new settings.

   6. The program shows information about your startup entries in 16 different tabs.
For the most part, the filename you are looking for will be found under the Logon or the Services tabs, but you should check all the other tabs to make sure they are not loading elsewhere as well.
Click on each tab and look through the list for the filename that you want to remove (you can use File>Find, or CTRL+F). The filename will be found under the Image Path column.
There may be more than one entry associated with the same file as it is common for malware to create multiple startup entries.
It is important to note that many malware programs disguise themselves by using the same filenames as valid Microsoft files.
It is therefore important to know exactly which file, and the folder they are in, that you want to remove.

You are looking for entries containing following file(s):
- arm32.dll
- any entry with: menusearch.html?p=zuzeb004YYUS, or part of it
- any entry containing: dynhost.inetcam.com,or register.inetcam.com

   7. Once you find the entry that is associated with the malware, you want to delete that entry so it will not start again on the next reboot. To do that right click on the entry and select delete. This startup entry will now be removed from the Registry.

   8. Now that we made it so it will not start on boot up, you should delete the file using My Computer or Windows Explorer (just use "Search). Make sure, that hidden files are shown (Windows Explorer >Tools>Folder Options>View tab, check "Show hidden files, and folders).

   9. When you are finished removing the malware entries from the Registry and deleting the files, reboot into normal mode.

Report what you found, and post new HJT log.

Ok, i deleted the arm32.dll using autoruns. I could not find using window exploxer the file on my hard drive though. Here is my new hijack file

I really do appreciate your help

[Broni]

You still have few things left...

Restart to Safe Mode.
Go Start>Run, type in:
regedit
Hit Enter.

Navigate to:

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
In right pane, look for following TWO keys:
4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C
Right click on it. Click Delete.
BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655
Right click on it. Click Delete.

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
In right pane look for following key:
ProxyOverride
Right click on it. Click Delete.

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
In right pane look for a whole, or any part of following entry:
http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=zuzeb004YYUS
Right click on it. Click Delete.
If not found, please list all entries listed there.

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
In right pane look for TWO following entries:
4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C
Right click on it. Click Delete.
4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C
Right click on it. Click Delete.

Restart in Normal Mode, and post new HJT log.
Good luck

[NWComputerGeek]

Ok were making headway, I was able to delete everything you had until I reached the 3rd HKEY part HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Internet Exployer\MenuExt, in the right pane, the only listed was AB(Default)  Reg_52

Then on the Last HKEY I was able to delete the first one 4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C, but under that on the left side is a Folder with the same name 4982D40A...... Dont know if that is suppose to be there so I left it for now.

Here is my Hijack log now

Thanks

[Broni]

Let me check your HJT log, first...

[Broni]

Yeah, we're making progress. With the latest steps, we eliminated half of bad entries.

Now...

Go back to Registry Editor in Safe Mode.

Navigate to:

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
Right click on MenuExt folder, click Export. Save it to known location.
Right click on MenuExt folder, click Delete.

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

but under that on the left side is a Folder with the same name 4982D40A......

Right click on that folder, click Export. Save it to known location.
Right click on that folder, click Delete.

Restart into Normal Mode.
Post new HJT log.

[NWComputerGeek]
