I am using Windows Vista. Every time my computer starts, McAfee finds and removes Univ.script/99a. The McAfee detection log contains the following information (Note that the file name listed below is different every time, the rest of the data is always the same): Detection name: univ.script/99a (Virus) File: C:\windows\temp\cht906D.tmp Process: C:\Program Files\ThreatFire\TFService.exe Process description: PC Tools Threatfire Service I recently installed ThreatFire, but I do not believe that this problem occurred the first day or so that I used it. Before I post my HijackThis log, let me relay one other symptom that seems to have started at about the same time. Whenever my computer goes into sleep mode, it locks up whenever I try to wake it. I am not suggesting that these issues are necessarily related, but as I said, the two symptoms seem to have started at the same time, so they may be. Here is the HijackThis log that I ran today: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 8:08:39 AM, on 12/15/2007 Platform: Windows Vista (WinNT 6.00.1904) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16575) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\Windows\System32\smss.exe C:\Windows\system32\csrss.exe C:\Windows\system32\wininit.exe C:\Windows\system32\csrss.exe C:\Windows\system32\services.exe C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe C:\Windows\system32\lsm.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\winlogon.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\SLsvc.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\Dwm.exe C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\guard.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe c:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\mcafee\mcproxy\mcproxy.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcshield.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe C:\Program Files\McAfee\MPF\MPFSrv.exe C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\WindowsMobile\wmdc.exe C:\Windows\System32\Ctxfihlp.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\mcagent.exe C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6172\SiteAdv.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\Spyware Terminator\Spywareterminatorshield.Exe C:\Program Files\ThreatFire\TFTray.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehtray.exe C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\bin\sprtcmd.exe C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\SharedCOM\RoxWatch9.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehmsas.exe C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Windows\System32\CTxfispi.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6172\SAService.exe C:\Program Files\Dell Support Center\bin\sprtsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Spyware Terminator\sp_rsser.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\ThreatFire\TFService.exe C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe C:\Windows\system32\SearchIndexer.exe C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\xaudio.exe C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcmscsvc.exe C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcsysmon.exe c:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\mcafee\mna\mcnasvc.exe C:\Program Files\HiJackThis\HijackThis.exe C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe R1 -

Hello and welcome to the Forum

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe
    [*]Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan

    [*]This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.

    [*]Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.

    [*]Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.

    [*]Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.

    [*]Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.

    [*]When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found: [external image: Posted Image]

    [*]If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:

    [external image: Posted Image]
    This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
    [*]After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list

    [*]Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv

    [*]Close Dr.Web Cureit.

    [*]Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.

    [*]After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.
