Post #1
Hello I am a new user as a result of this problem. I have searched through the previous posts and my issues seems to be similiar to others many of you have dealt with in the past - Thanks in advance for any and all help you can provide. I work from my home office and this is a big problem for me (as it would be for most).

Current status:
1. I have completed all steps reccomended / researched to isolate and identify this problem.

2. I have attached (uploaded both the hijackthis results as well as the activescan report from panda. I also cut and past both at the bottom as I do not want to have to "reply" to my own post which apparently can screw up someone from responding.

3. I have also installed and scanned with trend micro antivirus program which found and "fixed" some threats. I believe the issues is the fact that this virus 'renames' itself and without stopping the system restore and deleting the virus from **wherever** it just keeps rearing its ugly head.

RECENT RESULTS FROM TREND:

3a. Spyware - found Adware_BHOT_IEhelper

3b. Virus - found TROJ_Generic.ADV (repeatedly) and JAVA.BYTEVER.BR

3C. Quarentine - DC68.exe, DC67.exe and Jar_cache3258.tmp

4. I have disabled the system restore, cleaned the virus with Trendmicro, ran ATFcleaner, adaware, sbybot search and destroy, installed spyblaster and started ONE firewall (zone alarm).

5. I have not rebooted the system yet.

CUT AND PASTE of REPORTS (HIJACK FIRST(uploaded)/ PANDA SECOND (uploaded) / ADAWARE not uploaded)
