Hello and welcome to Tchspot.

First of all down load Spybot search and destroy from www.downloads.com

Once you have downloaded this update it and then immunize your system.

Also update your adaware as well.

Then restart your computer in safe mode I.E keep tapping the f8 key before the windows splash screen appears.

Then run Adaware and then Spybot delete whatever they find.

Then reboot your computer and run Adaware and spybot again when you have done this run Hijackthis again and see what`s there.

Hope this helps Regards Howard

As far as I can see it looks fine to me.

After a couple of days or so go into spybot recovery and delete any entries same with adaware quarantine.

Regards Howard :hotbounce
 
Clean up these entries using HJT in safe mode, being the only program running:

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)

Then re-install Spybot S&D, including its immunisation.

The rest should be fine.
Unless you are still on dial-up using a modem, you should uninstall the modem-software from your Control Panel (most likely a HSP-modem) and Device Manager.
I am referring to the 2 pctspk.exe entries.

Sorry RBS is correct as usual! (I missed those two entries)
