Hi The Voice,
The Lappy first..
The first thing you need to do, is to place Hijack This in it’s own folder (e.g. C:\HJT\….) so it can generate backup files to the same folder; needed should an entry be accidentally deleted. Then please run a new HJT! Scan, and check to fix the following entries, being sure to double check that you haven't missed any. Next, close
all browser windows and click the
Fix checked button…
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)
O16 - DPF: {1D4DB7D2-6EC9-47A3-BD87-1E41684E07BB} - http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/nocach...etup1.0.0.8.cab

Done, just tidying up.

You'll need to do a search for this, via

Next, please reboot again and download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 from
here: if you haven't already got the program.
Click on
