Go here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155 and download HijackThis. Extract/install to its own folder, preferably on your main drive: eg C:\HJT
Do a system scan and save the log. Post the log in the forum 'above' this one: HijackThis logs (Analyze). Do not try to fix anything your self, let Microbell review your log and give you directions

Hi and Welcome to TF

I don't see it running in the log. Please post the filename and location that Norton is finding this file in.

Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run the following tools. Download and update the databases on each program before running.

• Ad-Aware® SE Personal Edition
  *Note* For Ad-AwareSE also install the VX2 Addon Cleaner To run this tool once Adaware is updated click on Add-ons in the lefthand column. Select VX2 Cleaner V2.0 and click Run Tool. Click "OK" , then, if something is found, click "Clean" as in the directions given. Click "Close", and exit Ad-Aware.
  
• Spybot Search & Destroy
• CWShredder

Also make sure you are using the the latest version (1.99.1) of HijackThis and it's installed in it's own folder on the root drive. (C:\HJT)

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan
** click on "Free use ActiveScan" located on the top right hand corner

1. Click Check Now & a 'pop up' window shall appear. *ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it
2. Click Scan Now
3. Enter your e-mail address & click Scan Now ...begins downloading 8 MB Panda's ActiveX controls

Begin the scan by selecting My Computer

• If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  [*] Click on see report. Then click Save report

Please post that log in your next reply.
