Hello, I seemed to have picked up this nasty Video ActiveX Object from somewhere on the internet and need help removing it. I found instructions and copied them to notepad to remove this thing, but it said to have logs scanned by you just to make sure and all that, so here they are.

(side note)
I do have ewido and AVG anitvirus on my system currently. Just need to know when to use 'em.

You are running an out-of-date version of HJT.

Download a copy of HJTsetup.exe from one of these locations and save it to your Desktop:
Location one.
Location two.
Location three.
  • Double click HJTsetup.exe to begin installation.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the prompts from there.
  • When HJT opens, click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button.
  • Copy and paste this into your next reply.
Also, run HJT and click on Open the Misc Tools section.
  • Click Open Uninstall Manager…
  • Click Save list… and save it to your Desktop.
  • Copy and paste the file uninstall_list.txt into your next reply.

Ok, I followed the instructions on this page and it got rid of video Active X object and a bunch of other mal/spyware with it. but here's the new log file for HJT and the ewido log along with it.

AVG did detect a virus in c:/windows/svchost.exe but it won't delete it just quarintine it. i'd appreciate a hand with that bugger if possible.

When all the scans have been completed, please copy and paste the results into your next reply.

If this site is busy, try VirusTotal: Click the Browse … button at the top, navigate to the file and double click it and then click the Send button.

You will need to run a search to see if this file is still present on your PC - sys32dls.exe

Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe sys32dls.exe

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3FAD440E-EF4F-2ECA-DD00-125578F6734A} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\kyd.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FC20840E-EC7D-CC57-7ED1-FF6D37599AE4} - C:\DOCUME~1\MITCHE~1\APPLIC~1\EGGSSH~1\Window bold.exe (file missing)

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked

If it exists, delete this folder - C:\DOCUME~1\MITCHE~1\APPLIC~1\EGGSSH~1

* The tilde(~) in either a file or folder name indicates that this name is longer than six characters and these have been replaced by the tilde for brevity. E.G. C:\PROGRA~1 = C:\Program Files
The first file, or folder, that uses these particular six letters gets the suffix ~1, the next ~2 and so on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Svchost.exe should be in the windows/system32 folder, so I think your anti-virus has spotted a wrong 'un.
Navigate to c:/windows/svchost.exe, right click it and select Properties - the file should be marked as "Microsoft copyright" under the Versions tab. Compare this one with c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe.
You should just be able to right click the nasty one and select Delete and that should be that.

As long as the above goes OK, I want you to run your PC as normal for a few days. When you are happy that everything is fine, do the following:

Update your anti-virus program,
Disable System Restore,
Boot into Safe Mode,
Scan your computer for viruses.
When you get the all clear, reboot into Normal Mode.
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point.
This will give a clean Restore Point should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.

The reason for waiting is that if removing the malware has caused a problem, which it occasionally does, you can put your PC back to how it was before the fix. This will re-install the malware, but an infected PC is better than an expensive paperweight!

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.
