This one is still there:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WindowsUpdate] C:\WINDOWS\System\svchost.exe /s


It's Troj/Bdoor-IK:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojbdoorik.html

I suggest you download the latest updates for Ewido Security Suite, reboot into safemode and run it.

and ….

run a couple of these online virus scans if not all of them:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co…n_principal.htm

http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php

http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx


These are suppose to be the bad files:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe <—this is a legitimate windows file - but there's one that is the trojan, you can right click on svchost.exe, choose properties and if it's from Microsoft it's OK - if not it may be the trojan.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.dll

C:\WINDOWS\hook.dll


Let me know……….

Reboot and post a fresh HJT log. MrC

One is gone and a new one has appeared:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Disk Keeper]
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Services\{7788F84D-6857-4D67-A7A0-11F2AD0D868D}\SECURITY.EXE

It's the Troj/Daoser-A:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojdaosera.html


See if you can find it and delete it:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\Services\{
7788F84D-6857-4D67-A7A0-11F2AD0D868D}\SECURITY.EXE

Run HJT and fix this one:

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date
anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC :wavey:
