Then ran the tool the boost II linked too and went through what that found only keeping what I know is what. (Quite a few references to mrhot.dll or something). Deleted everything else and it now works fine

The Clean boot is a waste of time BTW, doesn't fix it
I've now managed to delete some of the bits revealed by Hijack This in safe mode. The main suspect which keeps coming up with loads of references is MRHOP.dll - every time I delete it in HiJack This it comes back. I've found one file for it searching through windows but can't delete (even in safe mode) any more suggestions.

All help much appreciated thus far - hoping near the end - Die MRHOP.dll die !!!

Cheers

Chris

Have finally managed to kill MRHOP.dll, the final piece in the jigsaw was CWShredder, hopefully the barsteward is gone for good

Thanks to everyone for their help, all very much appreciated

Glad to hear that finally sorted it Chris. As for it being gone for good, if you/they picked it up once, there's always the chance of picking up another one!

Keep an eye on the CWShredder website tho, it's updated on a regular basis.
