Unable to remove unwanted Dialers...

CharlieBrown007

Hi there,

I've previously scanned my friends PC for viruses/malware and removed quite a lot of them. I've used Spybot, Adaware and AVG but the dialers just seem to stay behind. In the end I followed the instructions in "Steps To Take Before Posting a HijackThis Log!". I'd be eternally greatful if you could go through the logs files I've saved and help me get rid of these nasty dialers.

The following is from the HijackThis log I saved :

I saved a log file of the Kaspersky Online Virus Scan, unfortunately it's too long to post in this first post so I've attached it here along with the other log files.

Also there are files which are locked in the Kapersky Online Virus Scan log. I tried removing the ones that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\Julie\Desktop\Interface\AddOns normally, and also with GiPo@FileUtilities in administrator mode, but to no avail. Any advice here also would be appreciated.

All help received will be much appreciated and once again, thanks in advance.
