Hi, my laptop recently got infected with the virus from htepo while visiting a movie site, my virus protection keeps alerting me to trojans that won't go away.

There was another thread with a nearly identical problem seen here : http://forums.whatthetech.com/Virtumonde_g…com_t84760.html

and here is my HijackThis Log:

Carmenvivi87,

Welcome to the forum, sorry about the delay. The reason your infected is because your Operating System is extremely out of date and leaving you very vulnerable to all sorts of attacks.

This is what you need to do.

Install Service Pack 1 only, do not install Service Pack 2 yet.

This is important , do this and post a new Hijackthis log
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe<– Right click on Hijackthis.exe ( looks like a man with a spyglass ) and rename it to Scanner.exe



Let me see a new log with SP1 installed and Hijackthis renamed please
