Thanks for another fast reply, scan is currently running. My computer is running normally, haven't had any AVG notifications for a while.

GlooStik,

COMBOFIX-Script

Please open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:

KILLALL::

File::
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes\02 Track 2 (statemachine).wma
C:\Documents and Settings\Margie\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\02 Track 2 (statemachine).wma

Save this as CFScript.txt and change the "Save as type" to "All Files" and place it on your desktop.

[external image: Posted Image]
Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.

CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Also please let me see a final HijackThis log.

Please open HijackThis and run Do a system scan only
Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below(if present):
- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
Close all programs except for HijackThis.
Click on Fix checked
A box will pop up asking you if you wish to fix the selected items. Please choose YES.
Once it has fixed them, please exit/close HijackThis.

With that done, log looks good

Time for some housekeeping

Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK
Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
[external image: Posted Image]

The above procedure will:

Delete the following:
- ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
- VundoFix backups, if present
- The C:\Deckard folder, if present
- The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
Reset the clock settings.
Hide file extensions, if required.
Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
Reset System Restore.

Please re-enable any security that was disabled.

Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
(Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

Understanding and Using Firewalls

Keep Microsoft Windows Updated - This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. The easiest way to do this is to turn on Automatic Updates. Do this by:

From your desktop, right-click on My Computer,
click on Properties
Select the Automatic Updates tab
Click on Automatic
Click on Apply button
Click on OK to exit.

If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, until there are no more critical updates.

Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer
settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Download and install the free version of WinPatrol - This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software.
Winpatrol

Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved.

I understand.

Thanks for all your help. I think that this computer will live for another day! I will ask you if I come up with any questions. And thanks again….

GlooStik,

Sorry but I missed one.

[Please either print out these instructions for reference or copy/paste them in notepad and save to your desktop for access when in safe mode

Make all files and folders visible
Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Please open HijackThis and run Do a system scan only
Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below(if present):
- O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe
Close all programs except for HijackThis.
Click on Fix checked
A box will pop up asking you if you wish to fix the selected items. Please choose YES.
Once it has fixed them, please exit/close HijackThis.

We Now Need To Boot Into Safemode

Restart your computer.
When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine,
amount of memory, hard drives installed etc (BOOT SCREEEN).
At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Options menu.
Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.

Using Windows Explorer (Windows Key + E), locate the following file and DELETE it (if still present):
c:\documents and settings\Margie\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe <–This file

Restart your computer normally.
