I've got something nasty on my PC somewhere and after all my scans I can blast it. I tried to use the new version of HJT but it's giving me this very odd cannot write to hosts error. I'll post it up anyway: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 9:27:17 PM, on 9/13/2009 Platform: Windows Vista SP1 (WinNT 6.00.1905) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18813) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\Windows\system32\Dwm.exe C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA\RtHDVCpl.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\vspc1000.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe C:\Program Files\AIM6\aim6.exe C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehtray.exe C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\TomTomHOMERunner.exe C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe C:\Windows\VPro1000.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehmsas.exe C:\Program Files\AIM6\aolsoftware.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_ProcessExplorer.zip\procexp.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimpl.exe C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = R3 - URLSearchHook: AIM Toolbar Search Class - {03402f96-3dc7-4285-bc50-9e81fefafe43} - C:\Program Files\AIM Toolbar\aimtb.dll O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 4-open-davinci.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 securitysoftwarepayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 privatesecuredpayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure.privatesecuredpayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 getantivirusplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure-plus-payments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.getantivirusplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.secure-plus-payments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.getavplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.securesoftwarebill.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure.paysecuresystem.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 paysoftbillsolution.com O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 4-open-davinci.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 securitysoftwarepayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 privatesecuredpayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure.privatesecuredpayments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 getantivirusplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure-plus-payments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.getantivirusplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.secure-plus-payments.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.getavplusnow.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 www.securesoftwarebill.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 secure.paysecuresystem.com O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 paysoftbillsolution.com O2 - BHO: AcroIEHelperStub - {18DF081C-E8AD-4283-A596-FA578C2EBDC3} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelperShim.dll O2 - BHO: Spybot-S&D IE Protection - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - C:\PROGRA~1\SPYBOT~1\SDHelper.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file) O2 - BHO: Windows Live Sign-in Helper - {9030D464-4C02-4ABF-8ECC-5164760863C6} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live\WindowsLiveLogin.dll O2 - BHO: AIM Toolbar Loader - {b0cda128-b425-4eef-a174-61a11ac5dbf8} - C:\Program Files\AIM Toolbar\aimtb.dll O2 - BHO: Java
