IE8 is failing to load my home page at the first attempt, then when at the home page my searches often fail to resolve to the page and I get the MS diagnose problem. If I go back and redo the search it sometimes loads the page. Outlook is behaving odd too. The first send/recieve fails to connect to the pop3 server but if I cancel and repeat it usually finds the server. I also get a popup from pkm.com which I have never seen before.
I've run Panda Active Scan and Malwarebytes, both of which removed some files but the problem continues. I tied uploading the HiJackThis file but it said it couldn't be loaded so I've added it below:
