Hi Apathwhy - run Hijack This again and fix the below entries. Reboot afterwards.

When you have rebooted, run a search for MSupdater.exe and delete it. Next, open your browser and go to Tools > Internet Options and click on the General Tab. Click on Settings (next to Temporary Internet Files) and then click on View Objects. Rightclick on each and choose Properties. If there is anything there that you dont know what it is (microsoft, apple, macromedia etc are OK) or where it came from,delete it. If there are any damaged controls there, delete those also.

Your version of Hijack This needs updating. Download the latest version from here and run a new scan. Post the log back so we can check to see if we got it all.

Yep.

Your log looks fine now Apathwhy. Try resetting your Home Page and let us know how you get on.

Just a comment though, Your ActiveX controls could do with a cleanup. Open your browser and go to Tools > Internet Options and click on the General Tab. Click on Settings (next to Temporary Internet Files) and then click on View Objects. Rightclick on each and choose Properties. If there is anything there that you dont know what it is (microsoft, apple, macromedia etc are OK) or where it came from,delete it. If there are any damaged controls there, delete those also.
