    hello.

    i use an application call cwshredder to scan for the trojan inside the registry. below is the log:


    CWShredder v1.59.1 scan only report
    Please understand that a CWShredder 'Scan only' report
    might not be sufficient to troubleshoot an infected system.
    You can use HijackThis for that:

    oh yeah, i miss out 1 thing. Everytime when i open the window explorer, besides the url goes "about:blank", there is another popup window saying that my pc has been infected with parasites known as spyware or says that spyware has been planted into my pc.

    TY. :)
