Help! My computer repeatedly flags a problem identifying that a "skuns.dat is not a windows file". Repeated removal of the file does not fix the problem. Also HJT will not perform a sucessful removal or backup of the app call.

Here's my HJT error:

An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modBackup_MakeBackup(sItem=O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\skuns.dat)
Error #5 - Invalid procedure call or argument

Please email me at merijn@spywareinfo.com, reporting the following:
* What you were trying to fix when the error occurred, if applicable
* How you can reproduce the error
* A complete HijackThis scan log, if possible

Windows version: Windows NT 5.01.2600
MSIE version: 6.0.2900.2180
HijackThis version: 1.99.1

Here's my HJT Log:

UPDATE: 28-Nov-07

I tried HJT again to remove the 020 call for the skuns.dat file and received the same HJT error. However, proceeding with the program appears to have removed it successfully. Then, using HJT I did a review of the startup file and noted a line envoking a "/Windows /Temp/WC77EB.EXE". On review, this file appears recent and although it can't be deleted, renaming it temporarily improves the computer use. This is the second time I've performed this change so I believe the virus renames the file and updates the startup entry...Therefore, I'm still dirty.
