Ahh, confession on that one. Same threat came in, deep breath and I chose to ignore, pretty fast moving to copy/paste offending document into killbox,second threat came in, also ignored this time killbox went through the reboot.

I know I should have waited, but, if nothing else computer is still working OK.

Tried the next scan, but in browse it couldn't find C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\setup.exe said file not found.
Should it show up again, (after more than a week of this I can't think it is gone yet) I will try that one again.

Thankyou for your patience so far.

If you use killbox to delete it, it won't be there to be scanned.

Lets get rid of these

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

Killbox didn't delete it, when I searched in 'Run' for it , threat came up, ignored and used the Jotti the results of that were "It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file."

Done the fixes with hijackthis, rebooted and this is the new log

Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

If you are taken to the internet page, just close the page.

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
(This may take several minutes)

Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C. Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so immediately. This is a necessary step to kill the infection!

When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.

Exit Spy Sweeper.

Empty Recycle Bin

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HJT log as well as the Results from Spy Sweeper file into this thread.

Think I did it correctly. Wasn't sure how to save the log file.

I knew it was going to be a long scan, but nearly 5 hours, and all it found was Hotbar/Zango. Years ago we installed hotbar and then ad-aware or spybot removed it and we never bothered to reinstall. But as with a lot of things bits of them remain on the computer, noticed this a lot when running scans.

Tried to flush the trojan out by searching again, but nothing, thought Spy Sweeper might be able to zap it.

Will just have to wait and see.

I can't believe reading the problems others have, that this is proving so difficult to remove and yet is not having any noticeable effect on the computer, although I am being very careful in what I do, eg no banking.

Yes I do.

Update.

Managed to flush him out again on a search (the one with the annoying dog) C:\documents and settings\all users\setup\exe showed up on the search with a threat warning. Ignored the threat and chose to delete it, at first it refused saying something was using the file, tried again and it said couldn't find. Checked the recycle bin and it was in there, another threat relating to the recycler came up ignored again and emptied recycle bin, usual crunching noise and it was gone. Rebooted, bit slow on start up.

On a search I have a folder titled RECYCLER inside is another folder with NPROTECT, I can't work out what is inside, strange word documents and txt documents, if they are in the recyler are they not being used and can they be deleted is NPROTECT to do with Norton? The other two things in the RECYCLER folder are two recycle bin icons with numbers after them, what are they and can they be deleted?

Have seen an article on removing NPROTECT from the Recycler, which I now realise would not normally show if access to hidden files and folders is not allowed, on run type in rmdir /s\\?\C:|RECYCLER\NPROTECT is it OK to go ahead and do this?

I have deleted the NPROTECT folder in the C/D and E drives, just right clicked and deleted, deleted all the recycle bins as well.
Have the search feature minimized on the computer and do regular searches of C:\documents and settings\all users\setup\exe sometimes it finds it. Yesterday threats were coming with it, I ignored them and on several attempts managed to delete them and also delete them from the recycle bin. They would then turn up in the searches again.

Today I have done a couple of searches and deleted the setup.exe, but there were no threats involved. No problems deleting either. So what are they and where are the files coming from.

Computer is generally OK, very slow on start up possibly from Spy Sweeper, can I uninstall?

The internet seems generally OK except to open a new link in a new window and then it seems to hang for a while, sometimes they open and others they don't, even on sites where popups are allowed. Is this connected or has a setting been changed?

Update

still finding these setup.exe, the latest one came with a threat, but was successfully deleted.

Please go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the following file for analysis:

C:\documents and settings\all users\setup.exe

Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.
Post #55
The results from the jotti were the same as before The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file This file just seems to appear for no reason, I delete it and sometimes get a threat warning.
Post #57 last edited
Soemtimes the file has around 38kb which is the size of the trojan in the virus vault. Searches are still finding the setup.exe file, it also found an empty winzip as well. Still getting the occaisional threat.

Are we now looking at a reformat to get rid of this problem?

Also having a problem updating AVG, instead of the window with the choice of finding in the internet or a folder, it is taking me straight to a folder, how do I change the setting back, wasn't aware I had altered it in the first place.

2nd update, now starting to get Virtual Memory too low, what does this mean, memory is OK on the computer (or it was) Also got a runtime error with IE. I can't update AVG and the email scanner is not functioning. Did a reboot, took ages to switch off, even longer to switch on, and then my Automatic updates had been switched off. Something is taking over my computer big time.

Threats have now moved to C:\DOCUME~1\BOBYOU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\
I have deleted temporary internet files

They are now pouring in all over the place, Windows system, letters are changing.

I think we have lost this one.

Where did this one come from :scratch:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [.nvsvc] C:\WINDOWS\system\smss.exe /w

This is the legit one in the system32 folder.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe

Run HJT and fix this one.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [.nvsvc] C:\WINDOWS\system\smss.exe /w


Delete this file ONLY from this location
C:\WINDOWS\system\smss.exe

Have spent most of the day deleting unwanted files and saving, backing up files etc in preperation for a possible reformat, have the pre installation disc that came with the computer. Also spent a lot of time repeatedly deleting setup.exe, couple of threats, one when running an antivirus scan, now moved into system32\spools\drivers so presuming this is now terminal.
