Please give me some ideas.
Thank you
 
While researching your log, i came across this and thought you would like to see it. Not good, especially if this machine is used for anything important- Banking, Credit Card Purchases, etc. And it does explain what is happening on your computer right now. Let me know if you want to procede!.

Go to 'Control Panel/folder options/view' and check 'show hidden files and folders'.While there, UNCHECK 'hide protected operating system files(recommended)'. Click Apply and Okay.

Next, proceed to ADD/REMOVE Programs and get rid of the following.

TrojanHunter 4.6 - Not a very good product anymore.
BitDefender Online Scanner
DAP - This also installs items without your knowledge so look for anything else suspicious there and uninstall them also.

Then go to C/Program Files and delete the above folders if still present.

Download Ewido(AVG Antispyware) http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ then set it up this way http://rstones12.geekstogo.com/ewidosetup.htm You will need this later in safe mode
Make sure to update this program.

Download ATF-Cleaner to your desktop from this link
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/ You will need it later in safe mode.

Download, install and update this excellent freebie- Superantispyware here http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

Next, download, install and update 'A-squared' here http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following.

After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;

Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;

Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".

Choose your usual account.


Please make sure ALL security programs - Norton, Ewido, Spybot, etc. are disabled until they are needed. They may interfere with the cleaning process.

From safemode, run HijackThis and put a check by the following entries if still present, close all open windows and browsers except HijackThis and click 'Fix Checked'

Exit HijackThis but remain in safe mode.

Begin running your scans in this order.

Ewido - make sure of the following settings.

Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
