I was messing around where I know I shouldn't have been, and I think I caught something. It's my trip to Singapore all over again! Just kidding, here is what's going on:

I have scanned using AVG (I know, it's no good..), SpyBot, and Hijack This. I've found and deleted any viruses or spyware, but every 5th click takes me somewhere I don't want to go.

I have seen this topic posted elsewhere, but no solutions. Here is my Hijack This log, in case there are any guru's out there. I think I know what everything is, except dmjxo.exe, but a Google search didn't turn up any info on that.

Thanks in advance for any help!

What is this?
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmjxo.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmjxo.exe
You probably have some CoolWebSearch crapware. There's lot of variants. Run CWShredder.

That' dmjxo.exe is what I think the problem is. During an AVG scan, there was a 'Reading Error" on that one item. Suspicious. All I need is the go-ahead to delete it..

Thanks for the tip on CWShredder, it came out clean, though.
