Hi Heidelberg, Welcome
You need to consider upgrading Windows as that will improve performance and security, visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows, This patches many of the security holes through which attackers gain access to your computer.
Hijack This is in a temporary directory so it needs moving or reinstalling before fixing the entries, Hijack This creates backups of everything thats fixed incase you need to restore it at a later stage and if its in the temp folder you will lose the backups if you clear your temp folders anytime. Its probably easier to remove it using the Add/Remove screen and download it again from
Here then save it to your C:\Drive first before running it.
Run Hijack This and choose
Do A System Scan then place a check next to these entries
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EEF7D6D9-AE0B-3AFC-7584-7255A0EF1220} - (no file)
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} - http:// software-dl.real.com/23ef3c38647b23...ip/RdxIE601.cab
Close all open browser and other windows except for Hijack This and press the
Fix Checked button
O23 - Service: Remote Packet Capture Protocol v.0 (experimental) (rpcapd) - Unknown owner - %ProgramFiles%\WinPcap\rpcapd.exe" -d -f "%ProgramFiles%\WinPcap\rpcapd.ini (file missing)
WinPcap is a packet capture and network analysis tool and is fine if you have installed it yourself, with it capturing network traffic I thought its best to make sure you put it on the pc.
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
this can be used by some malware to prevent you from changing your homepage. It can also be set by you (using programs like Spybot:S&D) to prevent malware changing your settings or by System Administrators to prevent their users changing settings. If you or a system administrator didn't impose the restriction then you can fix the entry. If in doubt then leave it as Hijack This isnt showing any problems with your IE settings.
Next download Ewido Anti-Malware from
HERE- When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard"
