Hi mcghee007,
-----------------------------------------------------------
Remove log items with HighjackThis. Start HijackThis.
Click Do System Scan Only. When the Scan is complete, Check the following entries:
(Some of these lines may be missing. You do not need to check the R0 line that has Start Page = http://msn.com/ )

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TYPE= ... pf=desktop

Make sure Every other window except HJT is closed (No other tabs showing in the bottom tray), and Click Fix Checked
Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the HiJackThis window to close it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
REBOOT Your Machine
-----------------------------------------------------------
Retrieve the List of Installed programs Using HJT
Open HijackThis, click Open The Misc Tools Section. Then scroll down the list if you need to, click Open Uninstall Manager and Save List...
The List of installed programs will automatically be saved as uninstall_list.txt in your HiJackThis folder. In addition, the list opens in Notepad so you can also save as another name in another location if you wish. Please paste the contents into your next reply.
Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the HiJackThis window to close it.
---------------------------------------------------
Get an Evaluation Log From SDFix
Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive% (Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)
  • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • You will see several choices. (1,2,3,A,B,U,E)
    • Type A (we just want a log).
    • Hit Enter.
    • It will take a few minutes to complete the scan.
    • Wait till the log pops up.
  • Post me the log C:\SystemReport.txt please

So we are looking for the contents of the HijackThis uninstall_list.txt and the contents of C:\SystemReport.txt

Due to lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
