Hi Bryson,

Welcome to Wilders.

Before you start, please unzip or move HijackThis to a separate folder of its own. The program will make backups to the folder it's in. These easily get lost in a temporary folder or a folder with other programs.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

There also may be hidden files. See HERE for how to show hidden files.

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
C:\PROGRA~1\VCDASH~1\ <-- entire folder
C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOUP~1\ <-- entire folder
C:\PROGRA~1\Mailfunkwma\ <-- entire folder
C:\WINDOWS\reg33.exe
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe

Reboot and then post a fresh HijackThis log.

Regards,
Kent
