Eddy,
Did as directed: ran a scan, selected items called out in your analysis sheet, ran the 'fix' then ran another scan to review the results of the fix.  None of the 'fixed items' came back, got 4 new ones though and the computer problems are still there, maybe even a little bit stronger.  There are some sites I cannot get into, like locked out.  Internet maneuvering goes from slow to stop to 'I ain't gonna let you go there'.  Off line there doesn't seem to b a problem.  Any ideas?

DavidR,
Below is another HJT log.  I did an analysis myself but no fixes.  I found 4 nasty, 2 possible nasty and 1 unknown.
The 4 nasty speak for themselves, the 2 possible nasty: first one is R1-HKLM... I only use Netscape for the email and the second O14-IERESET.INF:... I have no idea what that is (aol did not make my computer).
When I took the action to fix the items in the analysis Eddy set to me I lost the JAVA from my Internet Explorer and tried to download a replacemet from Sun Microsystems and can't use it because my security settings are too high for ActiveX to be used.  The settings when changed keep going back to default.  Can I undo the last set of fixes? and How can I pick out the 'nasty' I fixed and caused the loss of JAVA?

You seem to be getting the hang of it now, most of the R0 or R1s can go unless you have specifically set them up.

Being an ME user you are limited to using IE6 SP1 and not the stronger 'Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)' as this can only be applied for WinXP SP2 users. This makes browsing with your current IE6 SP1 more vulnerable.

There is no real way round this other than upgrade your OS or try a browser that is a little more secure. The browser switch/try is the lessor of two evils, I would suggest you give firefox a try.

At least the system is clean now. So it is not malware causing the current problems.

Eddy,
Negative, not clean...nasties keep coming back, system is loaded with spyware & adware (243 entries-mostly registry), trojan is still there...hkey_current_user\software\accelerationsoftwareinternationalcorporation and browser is screwed up plenty.
I got the spyware & adware population data through a free pest scan from Zone Labs, yea, another item for the black list.  I went through your signature web site and learned a lot, however I'm a still a long way from home.  I need to clean out the crap and corruption that is still in my registry and repair IE.  I would prefer staying with IE for now, so much learning and too many changes would surely screw things up.
Removing the trojan is the first thing I need to learn how to do and registry clean up second.

Eddy,
How do you register onto the HijackThis forum?  The registration form is in German.  I need it translated, my Favorites listing for the site that translates web sites was one of the items wiped out by the trojan.  Do you have any help?
