Go to Start->Run and copy and paste each of the following, hitting ok after each:

regsvr32 softpub.dll

regsvr32 wintrust.dll

regsvr32 initpki.dll

regsvr32 dssenh.dll

regsvr32 rsaenh.dll

regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll

regsvr32 sccbase.dll

regsvr32 slbcsp.dll

regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

Reboot and see if you can get to secure sites?

[psyk0tic]

performed the previous steps, and after reboot, desktop would not load again in normal mode. no icons, etc.

took an extremely long amount of time for the wallpaper to even load. =\

I doubt your problems are malware related you could try posting in this forum http://www.besttechie.net/forums/PC-Support-f3.html

Only things I can see to fix are...

Open Hijackthis and click scan. Then check mark the following entries

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbaredits/...?p=ZNxmk572YYUS

O20 - AppInit_DLLs:

Now close all open windows except Hijackthis and click fix checked

[psyk0tic]

I had a feeling that was coming, I guess ill try my luck over in the support forum

Thank you again so much for all of your help with removing the malware though, I appreciate it.

Take care!

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

Detect and Remove Programs:

• How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
  
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
  

Prevention Programs:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
  
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  
• IE/Spyad <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  
• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
  
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
  I also suggest that you delete any files from "temp", "tmp" folders. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete Files" and select the box that says "Delete All Offline Content" and click on "OK" twice. Also, empty the recycle bin by right clicking on it and selecting "Empty Recycle Bin". These steps should be done on a regular basis.
  

Other necessary Programs:

• AntiVirus Program<= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kapersky, this is a must have.
  
• Firewall<= A firewall is definatley a must have. Three good free versions are Kerio, Sygate and ZoneLabs.
