Can someone help me removing this rdriv with that log ?

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Download Killbox from here:

Killbox.zip

Unzip it, but don't run it yet.

Copy the file names in the quote box below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing

c:\windows\system32\netddesrv.exe
c:\windows\system32\rdriv.sys


CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

Click Apply then OK

In the Name column for:

After the reboot, "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)
Thank you very much for answering me so quickly.

I made what you told me to do.

In the first log from HiJackthis, i didn't find the following lines:

Thank you again.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Win32 Info] windowsnfo.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Win32 Info] windowsnfo.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Win32 Info] windowsnfo.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [Win32 Info] windowsnfo.exe

Then click "Fix checked" & close Hijack This!

Now, run Killbox.

In Killbox select "Delete on Reboot".

Paste the next line into the "Full Path of File to Delete" text box.

c:\windows\system32\windowsnfo.exe

Click the red dot with the white X in it, in the upper right of Killbox, then click "Yes", and "Yes" again.

When the machine reboots, "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)
OK I think this time it's good.

Looks good to me…. :thumbup:

Is Avast still complaining about anything?
:unsure:

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
