Any advice on how to proceed would be invaluable. Thank you in advance.

Hi arcosanti_99,

You've got the about:blank/sp.html hijack. Follow the suggestions in the two pinned spyware topics in this forum and then post a fresh log.

Thanks.

[arcosanti_99]

Thanks a lot, will try that.

Just a thought. I've also got a lot of other probs plaguing my pc because of these spywares (in my other topic "Spyware from hell") and someone suggested that i just simply reinstall my system (my OS?). Will that get rid of all of these spywares? Is it advisable to do so?

[usr.c]

Not necessarily since an OS reinstall simply replaces your current system files. The alternative route would be to reformat your hard disks and then do a fresh OS installation. If you are not worried about losing your data or program files, then a format is always the easiest way to get rid of almost all software problems.
