Greetings everyone, I'm here once again because the desktop computer used by my husband is again having problems. He did a scan last week and AVG detected something called win32/zbot.e then his computer got slower and slower and now something took over his browser. Google is kaput, and every link we click is leading to something else. Some programs also refuse to load. Spybot, CWshredder, Adaware, AVG, Malware anti were used with no success. Here's the HJT log as of an hour or so ago. Thank you very much.
