    Hello Bowfinger,

    Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del and End Task these processes:

    WToolsS.exe
    WToolsA.exe
    WSup.exe
    laprxy.exe

    1. Open My Computer
    2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
    3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
    4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
    5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
    6. A box will display the various files you can remove. Here are some safe examples:

    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin
    Temporary Files

    7. Click OK and windows will comply.


    Run Hijackthis again with all browsers closed and check these items and then on Fix:

    Reboot the computer into safe mode

    Make sure you can view all hidden files and folders

    Find and delete these files/folders:

    C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools
    C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\tb_setup.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\laprxy.exe

    Reboot and post a new log here.

    Hello,

    When you open IE, go to Tools>Internet Options and on the box that pops up, the top part is for you to type in whatever web page you want for your homepage.

    If you want it to be RR, then go to this link, choose your state and get to the page you want to be your homepage. When you get to where you want your homepage to be then go back to Internet Options and click on the button that says Use Current. Here is the link that can help you navigate to a RR homepage.

    Thank you for your help everything seems to be fine now, there is one problem I'm having though. Whenever I try to open my hijackthis log it says Windows cannot find NOTEPAD.EXE, I don't know why that is.
