Having some trouble with a computer here at work. Whenever we open and program, AVG Free says winlogin is a virus but it can't fix it. I usually fix problems like this myself by searching the web but time is short this week. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the HJT log:

Hi there can I take a deeper look first - also do you use a proxy server ?

Hi there let me see what you have

[external image: Posted Image] GMER Rootkit Scanner - Download - Homepage
[*]Download GMER

[*]Extract the contents of the zipped file to desktop.

[*]Double click GMER.exe.

[external image: Posted Image]
[*]If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a full scan…click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan..

[*]In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Ensure the following are UNCHECKED …
  • IAT/EAT
  • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
  • Show All (don't miss this one)

    [external image: Posted Image]
    Click the image to enlarge it
    • Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
    • Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt"
    • Save the log where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
    **Caution**Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<— ROOKIT" entries
    Please copy and paste the report into your Post.

    THEN

    Download OTL to your Desktop
    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Select Scan all users
    • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

    • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Post both logs
