I don't know what else to do. I ran cwshredder. I also tried spybot. I (and worse, my teenage son) get sites in our favorite places that we didn't even put there -- pharmacy sites, porn sites, etc. And our homepage changes from what we set it to each time we open explorer. Another thing is the screen sometimes just goes blank white. Please help. Below is my log from hijackthis.

A. You might want to remove the Microsoft JVM, which Microsoft no longer supports, in favor of the more recent Sun Microsystems JVM. To remove the Microsoft JVM, perform the following steps:

From the Start menu, select Run.
Enter the command
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall
to start the uninstall process
Click Yes to the confirmation, then select Reboot.
After the machine restarts, delete the following items:
the \%systemroot%\java folder
java.pnf from the \%systemroot%\inf folder
jview.exe and wjview.exe from the \%systemroot%\system32 folder
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM registry subkey
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM registry subkey (to remove the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) options)

I would very much appreciate your help.

I'm not the one to provide you the help you need. I did want to say that there are people who frequent this site who can help you, but that as it is the weekend, you may have to be patient for a while. I hope that someone can help you.

Here's what I got after what the thread says to do..
Also, my system did not find twaintec or any variant of it. I do have a twain.dll and twain32.dll folders, which I left alone, accdg to what the thread said. I ran stinger, found a lot, fixed them. I ran cwshredder, found some, fixed them. I ran adaware and spybot, found some, fixed them. I did all of the above accdg to the instruction on the thread. And now, here's my hijackthis log:

Make sure you have Set Windows to show Hidden Files & Folders, then reboot into safe mode then find and delete the following in bold:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchosd.exe NOT svchost.exe, be careful!
C:\WINDOWS\vcchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\vhchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\suchost.exe

Reboot, then post a fresh log when done and let us know if you are still having problems (describe them).
