Real clean Log.
Only see one thing.
Are you having a particular problem?

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

The problem I'm having is find-online.net keeps hijacking my homepage on boot. (I turn off computer every night) I followed your advice but no luck. Here is latest log. I turned off system restore, zapped the 5 find-online references and rebooted, but same thing happened - findonline.net was my homepage and there were unwanted "favorites" added to my list. Thanks for your help.

this thing is driving me nuts. can you take a look at this log again and see if there is anything that may be causing find-online.net to hijack my homepage on booting?

Reboot your Computer and run HiJackThis. Post another Log File here. Don't "fix" anything before posting it.
I don't see any R1 entrees in your current Log..

Here's the "unfixed" log.

How's the Computer running now?
These are the only bad entrees in your Log File:

Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

zhelp.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [zhelp] C:\WINDOWS\zhelp.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Image Transfer.lnk = ?

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

zhelp

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\WINDOWS\zhelp.exe

Now, empty your TEMP Folder / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.
