Well, I'm totally have no other idea how to get rid of this privacy danger beast. I've tried multiple spyware/adware removal programs but obviously, this monster is not going to give in. Someone please help. There are several people that use this computer and we all urgently need it to work properly. And soon.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
• Choose your usual account.

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
  (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
• Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

Thanks so much for your help. Here are the reports

You need to clean all of your temp files. Download CCleaner here:
http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds

Get slim or basic.

Then install CCleaner and open it up. Press "run cleaner".

Thats all, your computer should now be all set.

Okay. Thanks for your time and help. You are a lifesaver!

Glad to help. For instructions on how to keep a clean computer check out my guide here:
http://internetrotsyourbrain.com/rridgely/...eprevention.htm

Sorry, but I missed something.

Run a scan with hijackthis. Check off the following entry:

O2 - BHO: MSVPS System - {283A0EE3-2CC1-45AB-8207-B1D7B69C7F83} - C:\WINDOWS\duocore.dll (file missing)

Now press "fix checked" and exit hijackthis.

Also delete sdfix.exe and the folder C:\SDFix.

Wow!! This really works. Thank You. My computer is now running.
