Hi jcavicch and welcome to CTH,
Please go Here and unzip the newest version of HJT into a new dedicated folder,

Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.

You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it hjt. Unzip HijackThis into this folder. Launch Hijack This, then press Scan, and press Save Log

This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.

Most things are harmless and needed so don't make any changes.

post a log here please.



Also run a search on your PC for a file named: hosts (no extension). You will find it in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Open the file with Notepad and have a look at the entries inside.
The list will look something like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost <-(leave this entry)

Copy the log and paste it back to this thread as well
