I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -

Thanks SO much guys, right....
i ticked and fixed the things you mentioned in Hijack this, but then rescanned and their still there!
SO i then downloaded the Dr Web thing and did the quick scan (after turning off virus scanner) and it found 3 trojans (came up in infected) which i tried to remove, but it said it couldnt so i quarantined them instead) here is the quick scan report (dont know if you need this)

The 3 trojans it found are Trojan.PWS.Siggen.7946
and Trojan.PWS.Siggen.8804
and were all connected to the facemoods and SweetIM applications.
I will run the full scan when i get home from work, but any tips on what i need to do next - am i safe now the 3 applications have been quarantined??0 -

Am running the full dr scan, but its been scanning for nearly 8 hours and is only about 3 quarters done!
Has something gone wrong, or should it take so long?? It still seems to be scanning and hasn't obviously frozen or anything.
Am writing this on phone, as I can't access anything whilst scan is preforming.
Presuming the scan ever finishes do I delete everything it finds or cure or quaranteen it?0 -
12 hours is an average for a full dr web scan
Id quarantine everything personally:idea:0 -
right full scan done, it found 11 'things'
