HJT log post. Help, please.

I've been having a bit of trouble with something called a "synchronization manager", which appears as an icon that pops into my system tray not too long after start-up. It's more of an annoyance than an outright problem (I think!) but I suspect I've become infected with some type of Trojan or browser hijack. I will post a fresh HJT log file below. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Yash

Since there have been no replies to my request, perhaps I have not given enough information as to what the problem is. I have also discovered something on my desktop called IntelligentDesktop.com, which only appears when I choose the "view my desktop as a web page" option. I have done some screenshots of what I'm seeing, to which I shall post some links. Maybe these will allow someone to help me get rid of this crap.

This is the window that pops up when I click on the icon that appears in my system tray.

This is the IntelligentDesktop.com window that appears when I switch my desktop to "view as webpage".

This is what I see if I right-click on the window seen above and choose "Properties".

I have run the "Add/Remove Programs" tool in the Control Panel and see nothing that appears related to any of the above. If any of this is appearing in my HiJackThis logs, I have no idea what it is. Google searches have proven to be less than informative as to how to rid my computer of this pernicious "apparent" Trojan. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Yash

 

Is there no one who can offer any help on this matter? Nothing I've tried as of yet has solved this problem. Even if it's just a hint as to what direction I should look for a solution, it would be appreciated. If not, I won't bump this one up again.

Thanks,
Yash
