Welcome to the forum.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

* Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
* Extract avenger.exe to your desktop
* Don't run it yet

---------------------

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running - Click Scan and.....
Place a check against the following items if found:

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe SCVHSOT.exe
F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Yahoo Messengger] C:\WINDOWS\system32\SCVHSOT.exe
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

-------------------

Back to the Avenger.

2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it, then right click on it and choose Copy [or by pressing (Ctrl+C)]:

Files to delete:

C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SCVHSOT.exe

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

* Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
* Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
* Right click in the new window and choose Paste or use (Ctrl+V). This will paste the text from the clipboard into the new window.
* Click Done
* Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
* Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

* It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
* On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
* After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
* The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

Post a fresh HJT log and the avenger.txt, MrC
