There is a weird file called 'qwerty.exe' in my computer that i cannot get rid of! It starts on every reboot and i've tried removing it in safe mood and with Killbox. Heres my HJT log..its short because I removed everything from this computer..i just want to be able to go on the internet but theres pop ups and then the computer randomly restarts.

Hi and welcome to the forums. :) I'm Markka and I will be helping you with your malware issues. I'll check your HijackThis log. Right now I'm MRU Undergrad, everything that I post to you must be checked by teachers of Malware Removal University. Please be patient. :)
Hi hotaru26 :)

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. You are quite behind on your Windows Updates and Patches!!

The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.

Apply the update, reboot, then go to Windows Update and install all the Critical Updates (Note: Except for WinXP SP2)

After installing all the Patches and updates, reboot, then post a fresh HijackThis log.
