    Give me a bit and I will get you a list.

    First of all though you still have some nasty things showing in your HJT log.
    Two KEY items showing are;

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DDCActiveMenu] "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\DDC\ActiveMenu\DDCActiveMenu.exe " -boot
    1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel
    2) Double-click on Add/Remove Programs
    3) Click on the WildTangent selection and Change/Remove, Uninstall, or Add/Remove depending on the operating system. Then follow the onscreen prompts to remove the WT Driver.
    If it DOES NOT appear in Add/Remove then try the following;

    Delete the WildTangent folder in Program Files and Windows
    • Open My Computer
    • Double-click on Drive C
    • Double-click on Program Files
    • Right-click on WildTangent and choose Delete (if the folder exists)
    • Go back to Drive C and double-click on Windows
    • Right-click on the WT folder and choose Delete (if the folder exists)
    Let me know if you are NOT able to do this.
    The other baddie appearing in the HJT log is this one;

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [explorer] C:\WINDOWS\system32\explorer.exe
    This is RapidBlaster.
    RapidBlaster is a task run on Windows startup. When an internet connection is present it periodically connects to its servers to retrieve advertising.
    To remove RapidBlaster please do the following;
    Update your Nortons.
    Totally disconnect your internet connection, in other words, UNPLUG from the internet completely.
    1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once.
    2. Click Task Manager.
    3. Click the Processes tab.
    4. Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes.
    5. Scroll through the list and look for Rb32.exe.
    6. If you find the file, click it, and then click End Process.
    7. Exit the Task Manager.
    Uninstall RapidBlaster
    1. Click Start > Control Panel.
    2. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
      Click "RapidBlaster" or "rb32 lptt01."
    3. Remove
    Next open your Norton Program.
    1. Start Norton AntiVirus and make sure that it is configured to scan all the files.
    2. Run a full system scan.
    3. If any files are detected as infected with Dialer.Rapidblaster, click Delete.
    Next, still disconnected from the internet I want you to run HiJackThis again and place checkmarks next to the following entries if still present;

    O2 - BHO: SWEETIE Class - {1A0AADCD-3A72-4b5f-900F-E3BB5A838E2A} - C:\PROGRA~1\MACROG~1\SWEETI~1\toolbar.dll (file missing)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4B18DD50-C996-44fc-AC52-0FECFF82ED58} - (no file)

    O3 - Toolbar: SweetIM For Internet Explorer - {BC4FFE41-DE9F-46fa-B455-AAD49B9F9938} - C:\Program Files\Macrogaming\SweetIMBarForIE\toolbar.dll (file missing)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DDCActiveMenu] "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\DDC\ActiveMenu\DDCActiveMenu.exe " -boot
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [explorer] C:\WINDOWS\system32\explorer.exe

    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: @xpsp3res.dll,-20001 - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)
    O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.savewealth.com

    Once you have placed the checkmarks then click the FIX button.
    Exit HJT.
    Shut down the computer. Reconnect the internet. Reboot the computer and run a NEW HJT scan, save the log and post back here.
