Hi fookoff, Welcome to TomCoyote Forums !!

You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure

HijackThis performs better if it is on the root drive of your pc : (probably C:\)
Please create a folder on your C:\ and give it a name (example:HJT), move HijackThis.exe to that folder

On the main screen select the icon Update then select the Update now link
Next select the Start Update button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
Close Ewido Anti-Malware

Download Delcmdservice.zip© by Marckie to your Desktop.
Unzip delcmdservice folder to you desktop
Open the delcmdservice folder on your desktop and double-click on DelReg.bat, a DOS-window will open and rapidly close - this is normal
Now close thedelcmdservice folder

Reboot to Safe mode
Restart your computer and begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard just before Windows starts to load
If done right a Windows Advanced Options menu will appear.
Select the Safe Mode option and press Enter

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe
Under Main choose: Select All

Once the scan is complete do the following :
If you have any infections you will prompted, then select Apply all actions
Next select the Reports icon at the top.
Select the Save report as button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
Now close Ewido Anti-Malware

Double click BFU.exe
In the scriptline to execute field type or Copy and Paste :

Press Execute and let it do it’s job. (You should see a progress bar if you did this correctly.)
Wait for the complete script execution box to pop up and press OK
Press exit to terminate the BFU program.

Reboot to Normal Mode

Because some malware is hiding from Hijackthis, I need you to rename HijackThis.exe :
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to where you moved HijackThis earlier
Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename
Type in Analyze.exe and hit Enter
Close Windows Explorer
Reboot

Post a fresh HijackThis log and the Ewido log here
