I do house calls for our computer club. My solution to your problem has been
to download Firefox to my computer copy it to a USB Flash memory drive. Then
start up the infected computer in Safe Mode with Networking. Install
Firefox. Using Firefox, download HijackThis from
http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ Run it and submit the results to
