Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.com!

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Fix these items with Hijack This!:

O2 - BHO: SDWin32 Class - {7DAE2C2C-29E1-47E0-AE8F-93234AC907B1} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\opgwx.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NastySex] C:\WINDOWS\NastySex.exe -n

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [opgwxc] C:\WINDOWS\System32\opgwxc.exe

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)

Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to tell you how if necessary.

Find and delete:

C:\WINDOWS\NastySex.exe <— file

C:\WINDOWS\System32\opgwx.dll <— file

C:\WINDOWS\System32\opgwxc.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Reboot in normal mode and post a new log file. :)

There are 3 entries in the log I cannot find any info on:

c:\program files\end2end\e2eagent\e2eagent.exe
c:\program files\end2end\e2eagent\e2eservice.exe
continuity client startup.exe

If you know and trust those programs, then you're good to go.

I'll leave you with my list of things to consider to help prevent future infections.

If if you do not recognize those programs, let me know and we'll figure out how best to dispose of them.

M68 :)

P.S. Please let me know if those programs are "OK" so we can close this thread.

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

Thanks for all that help… the three programmes you noticed are work related programmes so they're OK. I've started going throught the steps you highlighted to minimise future risk…. so touch wood, we'll be a bit more secure. Once again, your help has been very much appreciated.
