Hi,
I posted this thread before and got a response, but due to some complications here I couldn't access a computer and stick with it. My apologies for any time wasted. Here is the previous problem description, pretty much nothing has changed from it:
The issue: so I have 2 drives, C and D. C is the one with my OS and main stuff on it, D is kind of a file storage dump, hence why it got infected (I think). Earlier today, my D drive started acting up. When I browed through it, the window associated with the drive would freeze up (I could surf the net and do whatever while this happened) and then I would get this error: "delayed write failed" and something about "D:\$Mft" being unable to be saved. Apparently this is a common message given for failing drives or some such, but this is a new drive and I haven't done anything weird to it. Anyway I couldn't delete files from this drive, and trying to go through any folder resulted in immense slowdown and that error message appearing nonstop. After messing with things for a bit to no avail, I decided to restart. Well as I did that I got bombarded with those delayed write failed messages, and after skipping through them my comp restarted… only to reveal that the D drive was no longer even being detected.
I'm afraid this will happen to my C drive too if I don't do something soon. I'm positive this was started by a game I downloaded and executed on my D drive, it may be malware or it might just be something else (it was a foreign game, might have messed up the registry or something?)
Whatever the case is, I'm totally clueless as to how to even get my D drive detected again, let alone how to remove the infection. Any help or ideas from you pros would be appreciated.
The hijackthis log is here, although I'm not sure how useful it will be.
EDIT: There is no question this is malware, I think. My C drive is now acting up. It took me about 5 full minutes just to wait for my computer turn on. I likely won't turn it off again for fear of it not coming back. It seems to be working alright for now though, other than that.
EDIT2: AVG just randomly caught a virus… something called Exploit.PDF. Shortly afterwards my adobe asked me if I wanted to install updates. Could it be linked to that then?The issue: so I have 2 drives, C and D. C is the one with my OS and main stuff on it, D is kind of a file storage dump, hence why it got infected (I think).

Thank you very much in advance. If you'd like to see the old thread that got closed, it's here: http://forums.whatthetech.com/Delayed_writ…le_t103755.html
I posted this thread before and got a response, but due to some complications here I couldn't access a computer and stick with it. My apologies for any time wasted. Here is the previous problem description, pretty much nothing has changed from it:
The issue: so I have 2 drives, C and D. C is the one with my OS and main stuff on it, D is kind of a file storage dump, hence why it got infected (I think). Earlier today, my D drive started acting up. When I browed through it, the window associated with the drive would freeze up (I could surf the net and do whatever while this happened) and then I would get this error: "delayed write failed" and something about "D:\$Mft" being unable to be saved. Apparently this is a common message given for failing drives or some such, but this is a new drive and I haven't done anything weird to it. Anyway I couldn't delete files from this drive, and trying to go through any folder resulted in immense slowdown and that error message appearing nonstop. After messing with things for a bit to no avail, I decided to restart. Well as I did that I got bombarded with those delayed write failed messages, and after skipping through them my comp restarted… only to reveal that the D drive was no longer even being detected.
I'm afraid this will happen to my C drive too if I don't do something soon. I'm positive this was started by a game I downloaded and executed on my D drive, it may be malware or it might just be something else (it was a foreign game, might have messed up the registry or something?)
Whatever the case is, I'm totally clueless as to how to even get my D drive detected again, let alone how to remove the infection. Any help or ideas from you pros would be appreciated.
The hijackthis log is here, although I'm not sure how useful it will be.
EDIT: There is no question this is malware, I think. My C drive is now acting up. It took me about 5 full minutes just to wait for my computer turn on. I likely won't turn it off again for fear of it not coming back. It seems to be working alright for now though, other than that.

Thank you very much in advance. If you'd like to see the old thread that got closed, it's here: http://forums.whatthetech.com/Delayed_writ…le_t103755.html
The reason I assumed this was malware was that it coincided really closely (the day of basically) with my downloading a particular thing, and then messing with some programs to make it work… but maybe I just messed with some options or something somehow. I'll see what the hardware guys have to say about it. If I just have to do some quick fixes then it's good news. I seriously doubt the HD is broken but I guess that's always a possibility?
Thanks again,
Raptor
I don't know if I even have the warranty… oh well.
