Sorry to see that nobody has replied.

I just went through this on my home system, and fixed it.

Go to the Lavasoft website (lavasoft.com I think) to their downloads page and download the free version of Ad-Aware.

Once you have it downloaded, make sure that it's updated, and run the scan. It will find all kinds of bad stuff, just look through them and make sure that you don't see anything that you may need, and allow it to delete the rest. It may require several scans and a reboot to get it all, but this worked for me.

Good luck!
 
Sometimes a thread gets buried or overlooked, which may have been the case here. That is a good time for a bump.

R0, R1, etc., are the browser helper objects that if not recognized can usually be removed. I was trying to find out what the file://C:\DOCUME~1\Renate\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html were in your log, but I haven't found it yet. Is this something that you recognize?

Dave :D
