Exit HijackThis when done. Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded. Using Windows Explorer, find and delete the following:

C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\PuM.exe
C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\iuh.exe
C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\BxBcfv.exe
C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\LrnXYsz.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\scee.exe

Exit Explorer and reboot into Normal Mode. Rescan with HijackThis and post a new log here.
thankyou daemon,
I have removed all the files that you specified. If I see these same problems again can I run: REGEDIT and do the same job as hijack this did? What does "unknown owner" mean down there in my processes? Can that be removed also?

Don't try and fix with REGEDIT unless you know what you are doing. Unknown owner just means the scan didn't detect the company that produce the software.

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':

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {B83ADB7A-1AE1-6D66-CBD6-408198C45FB5} - C:\WINNT\system32\rqqi.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [clrvidcc] C:\WINNT\system32\clrvidcc.exe


Exit HijackThis when done. Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded. Using Windows Explorer, find and delete the following:

C:\WINNT\system32\clrvidcc.exe

Exit Explorer and reboot into Normal Mode. Rescan with HijackThis and post a new log here.
thankyou for your expert help. problem solved, but have some other issues about my wingman extreme joystick. should I join a gamers forum for best advice about that and sound blaster card questions. thankyou, chris
You're welcome - glad to help :D Probably best if you get advice from a gamers forum on the other stuff - I'm kinda specialised in malware removal.


To help keep you clean follow the recommendations in Tony's article here:

So how did I get infected in the first place?
