Post #19
The computer is running fine this morning, I left it running all night with no popups.
DLL compare is still finding that same file, I will post the log, but hijack this looks clean, I will post that as well.

Again, Thanks for all the help Racktracker.

* DLLCompare Log version(1.0.0.127)
Files Found that Windows does not See or cannot Access
*Not everything listed here means you are infected!

Have hijackthis fix this entry.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {57225A5E-D990-44D5-BC76-1A162A14B6B9} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\bkcl.dll (file missing)

Everything else looks good.

Try to find the file and delete it, if that does not work.

Open hijackthis
Then click the "Open Misc tools section"
Next click the delete file on reboot button.
In the next window copy and paste
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3dheb.dll

Then click open.
Answer yes at the prompt and allow your computer to reboot.

Let me know how it goes.

You should read this to help prevent future problems.

So how did I get infected
Post #21
All good I believe, there was nothing in the dll compare, and here is the hijack this log.
