Ok, I'm sure those of you familiar with this worm will know how annoying it is. I've read up on it quite a bit and I have got this Browser Hijack thing that will get rid of it (Hopefully). The thing is, I'm not sure exactly what should be deleted and what shouldn't. If someone who knows what they are talking about could get back to me on this I would be so greatful as I can no longer test my HTML pages in IE due to the worm disabling my browser to go anywhere but the place it wants me to, grrr!! Not so 'cool' at all.

The log file is below...

Spybot Search and Destroy should remove it from your system and registry here is the link to their downloads section http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html just be sure to run the updates and what not, and i see that u have microsofts anti spyware also, have u tried running a scan on your system with that?

Try using SB S&D and Lavasoft Ad-aware. I have never liked Microsoft AntiSpyware so haven't used it much. Also, manually delete the suspicious looking entries in Hijackthis.
