Hello bohey1, Welcome to TomCoyote forum, You do have some nasty stuff on your computer. It is important that you know about this item, that you review all of the information in the Sophos link.
http://castlecops.com/startuplist-8307.html
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojantimcaa.html
You will read this: Turns off anti-virus applications, Modifies data on the computer, Reduces system security. Make sure you look under all of the tabs, chances are your McAfee has been totally compromised and it will have to be re-installed completely. I strongly suggest you contact McAfee for instructions. We will remove the infected file but I am about positive you will need uninstall the McAfee software and download it again. Your McAfee technician will need to advise you.

If you want my help cleaning the malware off your computer please follow these instructions exactly, and in the order I have posted them:

1) C:\MY DOCUMENTS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE: We need a folder to store HJT.exe, logs and backups for safety. Return to MyDocuments and point to a blank spot then RIGHT click the mouse and make a NEW FOLDER called HJT. Move the HJT.exe, and the log that is there into that folder. It will look like this then: C:\MY DOCUMENTS\HJT\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

2) Look in Add Remove programs, if you see this item there uninstall it. If not then open Task Manager (ctrl, alt, delete at the same time) locate, highlite and end process on the item.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAVE\SAVE.EXE
WhenU.com SpyWare

3) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Take the time to review the instructions on the download page so that when I ask you to run it you will know what you are doing.

4) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

NetSetter/MarketScore foistware
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WhenUSave] "C:\Program Files\Save\Save.exe"
SaveNow adware

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

SHOW HIDDEN FILES: Follow the instructions in the link to enable hidden files for your operating system.
You may wish to reverse this process if you have any concern about anyone getting into these hidden system files.
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\PROGRAM FILES~1\MCAFEE.COM\AGENT\MCUPDATE.EXE >>> file

C:\Program Files\Save\ >>> folder

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OSSPROXY.EXE >>> file

Let's check for trojans in case any are hiding, run this free online scan, scan the whole system and set it to clean or fix anything it locates. Let me know what it finds and the exact name and location of anything it locates but can't remove. You may be asked to install an ActiveX, please do so as this program is safe and it can not run without it.
http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/

Run CCleaner then restart the computer and post a new log in this same thread along with any feedback you have. Let us know how you are running.

Thanks…pskelley

Well Sir, you have a clean log, how is the computer running. I see these item, if you do not wish Yahoo as your StartPage, you may use HJT to remove those, they are not bad just clutter, your call.
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hp.my.yahoo.com/
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://hp.my.yahoo.com
O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://hp.my.yahoo.com

and this could be removed: O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)
I see no program for it to work with, be careful of Weatherbug, it is a resource waster and delivers adware to your computer. I must say the adware issue was stopped with the latest version 6.0.

C:\MY DOCUMENTS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE: You have also not followed these directions, it is possible backups will not be there should you need them:

1) C:\MY DOCUMENTS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE: We need a folder to store HJT.exe, logs and backups for safety. Return to MyDocuments and point to a blank spot then RIGHT click the mouse and make a NEW FOLDER called HJT. Move the HJT.exe, and the log that is there into that folder. It will look like this then: C:\MY DOCUMENTS\HJT\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

Since your log appears clean of malware and you have not indicated any issues, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

If all is well, there is no reason to post another log.
Thanks…pskelley
