Hello,

I'm very new to all this, but I've got this far by using the advice of friends who've had similar problems, now I've come to the point where I need some experienced advice before I go deleting files from my pc!

-Thanks,

Bill.
Click here to download Spybot Search & Destroy - install, update, scan and fix all RED items it finds. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Ad-Aware and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then click the gear wheel at the top and check these options:

General> activate these: "Automatically save log-file" and "Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"

Scanning > activate these: "Scan within archives", "Scan active processes", "Scan registry", "Deep scan registry", "Scan my IE Favorites for banned sites" and "Scan my Hosts file"

Tweaks > Scanning Engine> activate this: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."

Tweaks > Cleaning Engine: activate these: "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Click "Proceed" to save your settings, then click "Start", make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.
OK,

here's the latest HJT logfile:

Looks better. Click here to download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder and doubleclick on sss.exe. Check the boxes under the 'Items to Clear' tab and click 'Clear Selected Items'. You will be prompted to reboot, do so. Repeat for all log-in accounts on your computer.

Post a final log.
-here's the (hopefully) final log.

For what it's worth, it looks a lot more healthy to me (but I don't know much! :) ) -I just hope you agree…

If this thread is about to be closed, I just want to say a HUGE thank-you for your immediate help with this.

-I had to re-enter my user-name and password to get back into here, can you tell me if this will be the case for all other sites too? (small price to pay if it is)

cheers Daemon,

Bill.
