Hi MsShawn,

Before beginning cleaning, we need to get a couple of things out of the way:

First, please move HijackThis to a permanent location, to make sure the backups it makes are stored safely:
  • Open My Computer, navigate to C:\ and make a new folder named HJT
  • Open your copy of HijackThis and select File and choose Extract All...
  • Press Next, then Browse to C:\HJT, press Next and then Finish
  • You should now have an explorer window open at C:\HJT, if you wish to place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop, then right-click hijackthis.exe, select Send To and choose Desktop (create shortcut)
Now open HijackThis, select Open the Misc Tools section
Press the Open Uninstall Manager... button, then press Save list...
Save the Uninstall log to your deskop and include a copy in your next response.
Now press Back and Scan and then Save log to create and save a new HijackThis log.

Once complete, post the uninstall log and a new HijackThis log, and please take care to post the entire HijackThis log, starting with Logfile of HijackThis...

I disabled the back-up/restore feature, then restarted in safemode and ran spybot and ad-aware, once done I restarted the computer and turned retore back on. No problems since.

Hi MsShawn,

I'm glad to hear your machine is running better, however your previous log showed some very serious malware which might not have any symptoms at all, so I recommend you follow the instructions and post a new log for me to check.

Whether you wish to continue with cleaning or not, you should be aware that you may have been infected by a backdoor trojan. This type of program has the ability to steal passwords and other information from your system. If you are using your computer for sensitive purposes such as internet banking then I recommend you take the following steps immediately:
  • Use another, uninfected computer to change all your internet passwords, especially ones with financial implications such as banks, paypal, ebay, etc. You should also change the passwords for any other site you use.
  • Call your bank(s), credit card company or any other institution which may be affected and advise them that your login/password or credit card information may have been stolen and ask what steps to take with regard to your account.
  • Consider what other private information could possibly have been taken from your computer and take appropriate steps
This infection can almost certainly be cleaned, but as the malware could be configured to run any program a remote attacker requires, it will be impossible to be 100% sure that the machine is clean, if this is unacceptable to you then you should consider reformatting the system partition and reinstalling Windows as this is the only 100% sure answer.

Please post back to let me know how you wish to proceed.
