    You say you tried HijackThis. Did you then post your log at one of the
    forums listed on the website? Which one? Give us the link to it. If you
    didn't do this, you should. Or take the machine to a professional
    computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA). There
    is no shame in doing this.
