Hello. I've just spent the last few days trying to remove several trojans from my Windows XP SP2 machine, including W32.Trats, Vundo and Downloader. I think I caught most of it, but the machine still runs slow, and I keep finding small problems… ie. The Volume Control icon was missing from my System Tray… when I tried to open Sounds and Audio Devices in the Control Panel, nothing happened… this is similar to the way Norton Internet Security acted before I reinstalled it. I also received a message at Startup that Windows couldn't find the mljji.exe (but since mljji is related to Vundo, this is probably a good thing)… Anyway, I'd appreciate if someone could take a look at the current Hijack This Log before I consider creating a System Restore point…
