Click here to download Pocket Killbox by Option^Explicit. Extract it from the zip file to your desktop.

Start Killbox and click on Tools->Delete Temp Files.

When that finishes, copy and paste each of the following lines into the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox, and click the red button with the white X on it after each. Keep track of any files it tells you either could not be found or could not be deleted, as you'll need those later:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\d3dxov.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msacmx.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\pxhping.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rshe.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\service.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\servises.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\winsrv32.dll

For the files that it either couldn't find or couldn't delete, in the killbox again this time, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.

If it doesn't reboot automatically, please do so. Please post a new HJT log here.
