    I'd appreciate any help with this one.
    I believe it is called Alexa.

    I've run Ad-Aware and removed one entry.
    My hijackThis is attached.

    ***Thanks in advance.

    Jay

    hi jkassabian

    Run HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking "Fix checked":

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://your-searcher.com/sp.htm
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://your-searcher.com/sp.htm
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://your-searcher.com/index.htm
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://your-searcher.com/index.htm
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://your-searcher.com/sp.htm
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://your-searcher.com/index.htm
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [IEengine] C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEengine.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [dllhelp] c:\winnt\dllhelp.exe

    Be sure you are configured to SHOW ALL FILES AND FOLDERS, including System and Hidden Files. If you don't know how to do that, see this link and follow the step-by-step directions for your Windows version.

    Reboot in Safe Mode. Find and delete:

    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEengine.exe
    c:\winnt\dllhelp.exe

    Reboot in Normal mode and post a fresh log here - not as attached log, pls copy the log in to your post.
