Hi,
Can't help with your log - but there is a fix for this here:
Spyshredder Removal
You may be advised to wait for advice from a log expert.

[n0b0dy]

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention in the original plea for help that I have tried the spyshredder removal tool. It didn't do the trick. I appologize for omitting that before...

Hello n0b0dy,

If you still need assistance please post back a fresh HijackThis log.

I would also like to see another kind of scan, download Silent Runners to your desktop. Run it, and post back here the log it creates. If your AV queries the script, allow it to run. It's not malicious. It will create a file named Startup Programs, and will notify when the scan is complete. Copy the log from the Startup Programs file back here.
