Dealing with Trojans & Hijackware (Do parts A and B):
A. Removing Trojans and Trojanware with Sysclean
See instructions here:
http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=10610
Afterwards, update your own anti-virus application and perform another full
system scan.
B. Hijackware

Run the following tools in this order with nothing else running in
background:
1. CWShredder v2.13 (choose Fix, not Scan)
2. Ad-Aware SE (Reconfigure per
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=5877; Fix
all found)
3. OPTIONAL: Spybot (RTFM; Immunize first and then scan; Generally, fix
everything in red)
Important: You must seek updates for Ad-Aware and Spybot before each and
every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7.
When all else fails, HijackThis
(
http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
