My symptoms have now come back though the frequency of IE pop-ups have decreased dramatically.
What about this file
D:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhhh.dll
Is it present on your computer?
It was, and is no longer. The ComboFix might have deleted it since that's the only thing I've really done of late, see below.
Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
I ran it though I don't think it made it to completion. At one point in the window it did list a bunch of those randomly named files, then it restarted my PC after telling me it would, and after that continued running, but then the system restarted again with no warning from ComboFix and so I believe this second restart was some sort of failure....though I am not sure. Also it said it would restore my clock settings when done but they've not been restored. I have looked in the ComboFix folder that was created and see no log, the only text file I see contains
ComboFix 07-10-21.1** - Administrator 2007-10-20 21:58:06.1 - NTFSx86
Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600.2.1252.1.1033.18.1011 [GMT -6:00]
Running from: D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\ComboFix.exe
* Created a new restore point
.I made sure to never click in the ComboFix window. But should I try to run it again?
Here is my Hijack This log anyways:

End of file - 6845 bytesAs well I just want to attach a screenshot from Comodo's Traffic section in case any of you can see something suspicious there. MotiveSB is related to my ISP software, I believe. I'm just wondering what the System and svchost.exe are.
