    Hello Eros,

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

    If you don't have Adaware yet download it from here:
    http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button

    Dont' run either yet.

    Close all windows except HijackThis and fix:

    Don't reboot

    Then start APM.
    In the upper window select explorer.exe
    In the lower window find and rightclick C:\WINDOWS\System32\jlb.dll
    Select Unload DLL and click OK on the prompts that follow.

    Hello,

    Yes, and post a new log also.

    I would like you also to do this:

    Copy the contents of the quote box to Notepad.
    Name the file Appinit.bat
    Save as type All Files
    Save on the Desktop.

    Double click on Appinit.bat
    This will create a file on the desktop named windows.txt
    Copy and paste that log here along with the HJT log.
