Sorry it seems the code tags stripped out some of the formatting for the reg entries, and after looking into it it seems they can be a hell of a lot of different names for this thing so it might be easier to find using these as a guide:
Did Malwarebytes not work?
Were there any processes with those names in task manager?

All trojans are a bit different so one needs to investigate the specific one to know more background details.

Had this once where it Hyjacked the computer the moment Explorer.exe was running adn then opening multiple full screen pages that couldn't be removed making it basically useless to try anything.
What I found was that safe mode with command prompt worked to keep some control and I used another computer to download a few "scanners" like malwarebytes that have programs that can run from USB. This way you can scan the computer while using an unaffected source. It did the trick for me but I would search the exact hyjack and see if they have a fix somewhere.

Ah yes spybot is good, you can also immunise the system using that too which would be good for the future
isn't hijackthis more of a scan, log and report tool to define the system bugs? does it actually do something about the problems too nowadays?
i recall they used it a lot to get more info from customers to be able to pinpoint the issue of a system.

but the reports are good, if you post them on relevant forums you normally get good responses...
Using HijackThis you can selectively remove unwanted settings and files from your computer.
I'm sure it find them. Was just trying to ask if hijackthis prog itself is nowadays capable of actually removing the crap?
Just that detail.
