    This hijack this site is amazing.
    Now all I have to figure out is how to fix all the problems it has shown up.

    Run Hijackthis again. Put a tick next to the entries that have have shown up bad, then click fix.

    I noticed one of the items is for a site called downloadv3com which seems to allow access to some more ...ahem....."Adult" material, may be the source of your infection, if it was another user of the PC I would advise them not to download these sort of attachments

    Right on, BT. Our friends at RIPE stike again. The underlying source of those numbers is
    in the Ukraine. Home of the VX2 mob and the Russian mafia.

    Word of warning ... be VERY careful what you decide to remove using HJT. Get it wrong and you could end up trashing your system. Quincy rightly describes the HJT analyser as a "guide". No more than that. It will pick up things in your log that are not "bad".

    My advice ... you make your own decisions. Fix whatever you chose to, after all the thoughts expressed here, then post a new HJT log with an update on how your system is operating now.
