Did you try the Vundo fix, as well as the BFU? A few people have had some probs with the BFU.

Did you download AVG Free AV &scan with that? Even though you've scanned with other AVs & they haven't found anything, AVG sometimes finds malware that other apps miss. Just remember to update AVG before scanning.

yeah, I've tried both....like I was saying, this is a mutated version of what everyone has been getting. I'm lead to believe that based on what I stated in the original post....BFU nor the vundo fix work...BFU is just ineffective for what I have, and vundo detects nothing.

Go here, and do what they say. Just make a post with a hijackthis log.

yeah, I'm on spyware warrior's site and posted a hijackthis log on there, seeing what they can do. Thank you both!!!
