Althought the line says "file missing", I would still boot into safe mode and attempt to delete it.

Hi, I have been diligently following the instructions on this forum but still the problem persists. I've also tried Shredder, Spybot, Hijack to no avail. I've even deleted the IEexplorer.exe file as suggested but no luck. Can someone please suggest what I still must do? Thanks in advance.

Below is my Hijack log:

Hi smorn,

Please start a new thread and post a fresh HJT log. More than one person's log in a thread confuses things for everyone.

Thanks,
Tom
