First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. Remove the old version by deleting the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and uninstall 'Window Search', 'Window Searching', 'Lop.com', 'LOP SEARCH', 'Browser Enhancer', or 'Ultimate Browser Enhancer' if listed. You may be given a code to insert, do so and reboot when done. If not listed there, run this uninstaller:
http://members.rogers.com/rjmac/new_uninstall.exe

Please go here for Wintools removal instructions.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

Reboot into safe mode by tapping f8 whilst starting your PC and delete these;

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\firstmetasignthe< folder
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\WinTools< folder
C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar< folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\wmaemui.exe< file
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\danmsext.exe< file

You will have to go to Folder Options and unhide hidden files\folders.

Reboot normally and post another log.
