  HijackThis is currently in a temporary folder.
  Please create a permanent folder, e.g. C:HijackThis
  Then move HijackThis there.
  
  With HijackThis in its new location, run it, and click Scan and Save log, and post the new log here. I would be happy to take a look at it.

  ViewPoint is known as a a "potentially unwanted program." It is a application that displays contextual advertisements while searching the web.
  For more information, read:
  http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_137262.htm
  http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/nov4.php#viewpoint
  
  If you want to remove it, please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove:
  ViewPoint Manager
  
  
  WeatherBug is an software program powered by AWS WeatherNet that provides weather updates (for American cities) from a small icon in the systray. WeatherBug gives you current weather conditions, your local weather report, and storm alerts, however the free version is ad-supported containing both banner and pop-up ads. In some cases, it installs the My Search toolbar.
  For more information, read:
  http://www.pchell.com/support/weatherbug.shtml
  
  Similarly, if you want to remove this, please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall WeatherBug.
  
  Now restart the computer.
  
  Then launch HijackThis and check the following entries:
  R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
  R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
  
  Close all other windows except HijackThis and press "Fix Checked". Then close HijackThis and restart the computer again.
  
  Then run Panda ActiveScan.

  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button
  • Enter your Country
  • Enter your State/Province
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send
  • Select either Home User or Company
  • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report, along with a new HijackThis log.

  Okay, I'll do that and see how it goes. I've had AWS Weatherbug for many years, and it generally hasn't caused me any problems. But that Viewpoint thing is coming out.
  
  I'll report back here on what happens.
