Hello Norman Roberts, welcome to the TC forum.

You have a new infection.

Please open a blank notepad and copy the bolded text below, just as it
appears, then paste it into the blank notepad.

dir %windir%\system32 /a:-d /o:-d >files.txt
cls
exit


Close it, saving it to the drive root (Local Disk C:) as;

Filename: files.bat
Save As Type: All Files

Double click the file to run it. It will create files.txt, also in C:
Please copy the information in that log for all files dated in the past 30 days here. They will be at the top of the list.

Looks like all the bad guys are gone. Are you still having problems?

[Norman Roberts]

I am.

I still get a "system intrusion detected" message on my task bar and on re-boot ewido detects and cleans the netwrap.dll. The good news is SpywareStrike no longer seems to be installing itself, my browser isn't being re-routed from my home page at launch, and I haven't seen any unwanted pop ups in the last hour or so.

Here is a fresh hijackthis scan after reboot.

netwrap.dll is no longer there. Ewido cleaned it on the previous reboot.
Before I rebooted the last time I got a warning from ewido that SpywareStrike was attempting to install and that it had been cleaned. However, I now have a SpywareStrike icon on the desktop and SpywareStrike has reappeared in the "All Programs" list.

The latest reboot proceeded normally with no warnings. I no longer have a security alert on the desktop but SpywareStrike does seem to have successfully reinstalled itself. This is one clever beast.
