Loaded HJT..ran ascanand posted it on Techguy. Tried the safe mode operations. And nothing reportable was found. Did find what appears to be a good FREE spyware program though.

Get the program HIJACKTHIS. just run this ..it will not cure your problem insteed it will tell you what are the programs running in hidden mode. They might not virus or any other harmful file category but they still could be dangerous.
Right click any of the file name from result and do as recommended.

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (keep pressing F8 during bootup) and run your virus and spyware scanners then - do a full scan with each. Also try manually deleting any suspect files whilst your in Safe Mode. If all else fails, go to a specialist help forum, such as the Techguy forum. DON'T make any changes with a program like HijackThis unless you really know what you're doing, as you may make things worse.

Scan the PC with standard antivirus software. If you do not have one, I can give a few links that offer free virus and spy ware removers...!You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at
