Hi

I'm having a problem getting rid of the heretofind bug which is bringing up adverts for porn sites on my laptop. I've run Ad-aware, Spybot and Bug Doctor to no avail. I've also done a virus scan. My Hijack log follows. Can anyone help me please.

A couple more to clean up here.

Please restart HJT put a check next to the following, close all open windows and click "Fix Checked"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinInit] Win86.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinLogin] win32x.exe
O9 - Extra button: Corel Network monitor worker - {2CA2D8CF-A0B8-4A6A-911F-F02128DB97B6} - (no file)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Corel Network monitor worker - {2CA2D8CF-A0B8-4A6A-911F-F02128DB97B6} - (no file)
O9 - Extra button: Corel Network monitor worker - {2CA2D8CF-A0B8-4A6A-911F-F02128DB97B6} - (no file) (HKCU)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Corel Network monitor worker - {2CA2D8CF-A0B8-4A6A-911F-F02128DB97B6} - (no file) (HKCU)


Next reboot to safe mode ( By tapping the F8 key on start up) Make sure you can view all Hidden Files/Folders search for and delete the following in BOLD

Restart your computer,
Restart HJT and post back a fresh log please
