    Hi mlducky,

    Download and install APM from: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=apm

    Before you start, please unzip hijackthis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder in the folder it's in.
    These easily get lost in a Temp folder.

    Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://C:\DOCUME~1\TEENYT~1.MAI\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2BA0F95F-17AE-48A4-86BD-85969C8F0DAE} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\lopiaed.dll

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Spyware Begone] c:\freescan\freescan.exe -FastScan

    Then start APM. In the upper window select explorer.exe
    In the lower window find and rightclick the BHO from the HijackThis log
    (C:\WINDOWS\System32\lopiaed.dll)
    Select Unload DLL and click OK on the prompts that follow.

    Reboot and scan with AdAware to remove the txt and html protocol association.

    Regards,

    Pieter
