Here is my log.
My computer does not run too well, I've noticed I have more applications and processes running than I know how to shut down. My computer tends to crash more or less randomly.

Hello and welcome to TomCoyote forum.

Open the HijackThis Folder. Find the file HijackThis.exe, Right Click on the file and Select Rename. Rename Hijackthis.exe to whatever.exe.


Reboot the computer, doubleclick whatever.exe and click “Do a systemscan and save a logfile”.
Copy its contents in your next reply. :)

The answer at your post nr. 5 does not gives me the information I am waiting for.
Will you please submit this file again with Jotti:

Tnx :)


1) Please download Killbox.
Unzip it to the desktop and run it.

2) Select "Delete on Reboot".

3) Copy the file below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\adwytb.exe

4) Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

5) Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.

If you have any issues with this method you can copy and paste the lines one at a time into the killbox top box. Then click the Single File button. Then click the Red X …and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes. A second message will ask to Reboot now? you will need to click No until the last one at which time you click Yes to allow the reboot.

Killbox will tell you that all listed files will be removed on next reboot and asks if you would like to Reboot now, click YES
If you don't get that message, reboot manually.


Reboot the computer.
Post back with a fresh HJT-log :)

Well, Killbox dit not succeed so we use a stronger tool:

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.
  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop
2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\adwytb.exe


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.
  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
  • Click Done
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:
  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply


Then…

Download Combofix to your desktop.
Doubleclick combo.exe
Follow the prompts.
Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang.

When finished and after reboot, it should open a log, combofix.txt.
Post this log in your next reply together with a new hijackthislog.:)

Okay…can you follow this advice:


Please go to:
start–>run

and type this in:
notepad
click OK

Open notepad
Copy and past below bold text in the window (Be sure the first line is on top!)

regedit /e running.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

Save this file as:
lookrunnings.bat at your desktop.
Make sure you choose to save as *all files

Now double click on lookrunnings.bat and
A file named “running.txt” now appears on your desktop
Dubbelclick this file ‘running.txt”
Notepad will open.

Select all (ctr+A), copy and past it in your next post. :)
