Yes those entries are there because you can't use DelDomains.inf

when i click on that link you posted it doesnt download a file it just opens a internet page with the following on( See below). If i right click and select save target to desktop it does create a file but when i fight click i dont get the install popup menu just one the usual open with copy paste ext. sorry if i'm doing something wrong.

No worries, your Internet settings must have changed. When I click on the link, I get a popup box asking me if I want to run or save the file, I select save. If it opens a window for you, and you save the file to desktop, you prolly have the wrong extension for the file. I have zipped a copy of the file for you.

Download :
http://images.malwareremoval.com/Kimber ... omains.zip

Unzip the file to your desktop, do not run it from inside the archive.

Open CWShredder, Close ALL windows except CWShredder and click on the Fix button, then click Next.
______________________________

Run HijackThis, click on None of the above, just start the program, click on Scan. Put a check in the box on the left side of the following items if still present:

O15 - Trusted Zone: *.frame.crazywinnings.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.frame.crazywinnings.com (HKLM)
O15 - Trusted IP range: 206.161.125.149
O15 - Trusted IP range: 206.161.125.149 (HKLM)

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click Fix Checked
______________________________

Locate DelDomains.inf on your desktop and Right-click on DelDomains.inf and a menu will popup. On that menu, select Install (see screenshot)

Let me know how things went and post a fresh hijackthis log please.

Let's repair the association then.

Download http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_inf_assoc.zip

Unzip to desktop. Doubleclick on xp_inf_assoc.reg and allow it to merge with the registry.

Follow steps from my previous post.

Yes, I only did need a hijackthis log. You may delete those files from your desktop but I'll be posting cleanup instructions (tools we used) in a few.

How is the computer running otherwise ?

WinPatrol FAQ

Firetrust introduces the SiteHound Toolbar - the safe way to browse the Internet. With SiteHound, when you browse the Internet, you're shown a warning page every time you go to a site which is a known scam, potentially loads viruses or spyware on to your computer, has questionable content or anything you would not consider reasonable. You are shown a warning page with information about that site. From there you can choose to enter the site or go back. SiteHound is a free add-on to Internet Explorer. (Users of Firefox - a version for you is coming soon.) SiteHound's comprehensive database gathers the knowledge from other users and respected experts from the online security community to tell you which sites are real and which are bogus.

SiteHound will alert you when you enter a site which is known to contain:
  • Fraudulent claims or scams

For more information take a moment to read the Main features of the program.

Use an AntiVirus Software

It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. See the link below for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs.
Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus
http://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53#53

Update your Anti Virus Software

It is imperative that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Use a Firewall

I can not stress enough how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below.
Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls

A tutorial on Understanding and Using Firewalls can be found here

Additional Information

A very nice collection of tutorials is available at Bleeping Computer

Finally, after following up on all these recommendations, why not run Jason Levine's Browser Security Tests ?
They will provide you with an insight on how vulnerable you might still be to a number of common exploits.
