Hello and welcome to Techspot.
There`s definitely a few things there that I wouldn`t want on my puter.
Once you have done that then post another Hijackthis log.
Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

You need to make up your mind between Norton and Trend Micro.
I would suggest to completely rid your PC of anything Norton/Symantec, and stick with Trend Micro, if that is a complete AV and firewall package.
Norton also slows down your system considerably with all its bloatware.
Boot in Safe Mode.
Press Ctrl/Alt/Del simultaneously, select Taskmanager/Processes, select the process (if there), click "End Process" for:
navapp.exe
fdm.exe
kazaa.exe
Next, UNinstall anything to do with this lot:
C:\Program Files\NavExcel\NavHelper\v2.0.4d\navapp.exe
C:\Program Files\NavExcel Search Toolbar\NavExcelBar.dll
C:\Program Files\Free Download Manager\fdm.exe
C:\Program Files\Kazaa\kazaa.exe
Now hit the Fix checked button and let HijackThis do what it is good at...
When done, delete the highlighted bold files. When a directory-name is bold, delete everything in it, including that directory itself.
Boot normal.
Stop using IE, except for Windows-updates.
Install Firefox instead! from http://www.getfirefox.com
For a free & adfree, excellent downloader go to www.stardownloader.com

Hi Howard, RealBlackStuff, thanx for the help, system is running like brand nu, took me a bit of time to get cleaned up but I think I'm ok, had to put back in the domain as abconkenya.com and the proxy settings. I'm working on setting up mozilla firefox asap.
Strange thing is i couldn't download adaware, error at download.com?
I've posted my hijackthis log fo inspection, just in case the critters weren't flushed out.
Many thanx fo de help.
Avagut.
