Hello!

I have a question concerning my hijackthis logfile.

Recently, google behaves weirdly by opening pages that I did not request (sometimes ads and crap), so there seems to be something going on, although my Antivir and Adware and CCleaner did not complain.

I did find a little_helper2.exe a few DAYS ago, which I deleted.

The log file is:

I marked something in RED which I thought might be suspicious, so PLEASE let me know what you think.
I have XAMPP running (manages an Apache client and a mysql process), so maybe the red lines have sth. to do with that or are they malicious?

Thanks for your help!
yeah i am getting the exact same thing. Whenever I click on a link on google or yahoo a new tab pops up and instead of being the page i clicked on its an ad or something. This is very frustrating.
