Do use any other browser besides IE?
Anyway, it`s far more important that you follow the instructions and get rid of the worm you have on your system.

Edit: I`ve just seen your Ewido log. You need to follow the instructions in post #30.

aol in itself is a trojan and difficult to remove. I would switch to another ISP. AOL is known for its crooked practices from poor customer service, to preying on newbies, to refusing to cancell accounts, to puting trojan horses bundled in their software. It's well documented in news articles.

Look, just follow the instructions I gave you.
If you can`t or don`t want to do this, that`s fine.
Your only alternative is to reformat and reinstall from scratch.
I don`t particularly care. all I know is this is getting very tedious.
The rest is up to you.

Stupid problem
I use both aol and internet explorer, but mainly aol. Now the problem is on internet explorer on sites like google, it seems to keep a little history of searches I have done. So for example if I go on google, and type a word begniing with the letter s i get all my searches from the past which start with the word s. Its the same for anysite. I just dont like this as its almost a privacy issue.
I have tried to clear history and cookies in ie but to no effect, I really need help.

I have merged your new thread into this one. Don`t open anymore threads for this subject.
Follow the instructions I gave you in Post #30 of this thread.
Unless you get rid of that worm you have on your system, you`re not going to get this sorted. In fact the presence of the worm may be part of your problem.

On the face of it your HJT log looks clean.
However, just to be sure please rename HijackThis.exe to HijackThis1991.exe and post a fresh HJT log. This is because some malware can hide from HijackThis.exe.

No, renaming the desktop icon won`t help.
I suggest to delete your current HijackThis programme and read these instructions.
You MSN problems may have nothing to do with malware.
I`ll have a better idea, once I`ve seen your fresh renamed HJT log.

Have HJT fix the following entry, if you didn`t set the proxy yourself, or don`t know what it is.
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 59.13.211.147:8080
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{BF861CAB-E76C-4F64-81E3-87AA9FFFF425}: NameServer = 205.188.146.145<only fix this if it doesn`t belong to your ISP.
Click the fix checked button, close HJT.
Other than the above possibilities, your HJT log is clean.
If you`re still having problems with your MSN, I suggest you carry on posting in the thread you created for that problem.
