Everytime I open IE, another IE window opens by itself. It ends with tmasy.exe. I looked up and ran HijackThis and here it the log file. Can someone help me get rid if this?

Reboot your computer in "Safe Mode" using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and before the Windows icon appears, press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options.

If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt. • If you use Opera browser click Opera at the top and choose: Select All • Click the Empty Selected button.

A text file will open in your default text editor. o Please copy and paste the Scan Log results in your next reply. • Click Close to exit the program. Reboot to Normal Mode, post the SAS Log and a fresh HJT Log 2oG
Hello and thanks for the help. I ran through the recommendations you had. When I rebooted in normal mode and went to the View Log, nothing was there. About 10 seconds after attemping to look at the log, the web page appeared. Should I run the superantispyware again?
datajeam, Run through it agian and see what happens, SAS usually cleans up MyWebSearch real good.. I am at work tonight and don't have all my help fils on this new laptop. Please post a fresh HJT Log next time and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can. I work 15 hr shifts on the weekend and it is hard to work this stuff in. : ) LOL 2oG
It's always good practice to run AntiMalware products a couple of times, especially after it supposedly cleaned stuff the first time. I might also suggest running MalwareBytes AntiMalware as well. I find it good practice to run multiple scan using different software. One may pick up some items better than others.
