Hello, my niece Emma got a computer for college two weeks ago and asked me to look at it a couple of days ago as Internet Explorer had stopped launching. The computer is a Packard Bell EasyNote MH36 running Vista Home Premium with SP1. Norton 360 had come pre-loaded but the virus definitions had not been updated. I updated those and ran a full scan which showed up nothing. IE was working intermittently but being hijacked, often to thefeedyard. Because of this I tried downloading and running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. This software claims to identify 28 infections before stopping responding. I read the stickies on here and ran Hijack This with the following results: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 20:17:17, on 16/09/2009 Platform: Windows Vista SP1 (WinNT 6.00.1905) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18813) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\Windows\system32\Dwm.exe C:\Program Files\Norton 360\Engine\3.5.2.11\ccSvcHst.ex
