Hi cafenoir,

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

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0000607D-D204-42C7-8E46-216055BF9918} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll",Load
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mdkdyjz] C:\WINDOWS\System32\zksosx.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SysUpd] C:\WINDOWS\sysupd.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ares] "C:\Program Files\Ares\Ares.exe" -h

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\zksosx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sysupd.exe
