Click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

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 SE and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. 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 (all of it) so that any remnants can be removed manually.

OK you have two different nasty infections - we'll deal with them one at a time.

First, click Start>Run and type Services.msc then hit Ok. Scroll down and find the service called ISEXEng. When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Then repeat for Network Security Service. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

Click here to download navifix.zip. Extract navifix.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop.

Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following files, if there:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvms.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msbe.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\angelex.exe

Double-click the navifix.reg, when asked to merge say yes. Next, run another full system scan with AAW SE.

Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here and we will remove CWS.
Daemon,

Here is the latest log. Please note that the 4 files listed below were not available for deletion.

Thanks for your help!!!!! :)

Print out these instructions as most of the steps need to be done in Safe Mode and you won't be able to go online.

Do this so you can see hidden files and folders - click here to download xphidden.zip. Extract xphidden.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop. When done, double-click the xphidden.reg and when asked to merge say yes. Click here to download About:Buster and unzip it to your desktop. Don´t run it yet. Also, click here to download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder.

Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded.

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Click here to make sure that you have the latest Critical Update patches for Windows. It's very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks.

Let me know how it's running now.
Daemon,

I've been out of town since the last post. I had a chance to fix the two O9 items above before I left, but did not check to make sure that I had the latest patches. When I got back, my computer has been infected again. Please see below for the latest log.

Thank you again for your help!!!!
