Hi, I need help removing whatever malware is generating the sxe.tmp (or sx*.tmp) files and related processes.

Sorry for the extra processes and Japanese text here, it's not my PC. Hopefully you can still parse the logs.

Thanks in advance!

Update from me. I saw that this services.exe process below was a startup process so I disabled that.　That stopped all the sxe*.tmp process from running, so I feel better about that. Just need to get this stuff and related malware cleaned off the PC now. C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\sxe3.tmp

Sorry for the delay :oops:
If you still need help and haven't posted at another forum.

Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware (ewido). Then scan and save the log from the scan.
Instructions and download link can be found here.

Then run this online scan. Save the report.

Rescan with HJT and post a new log with the results from AVG .
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
