    You are running WinPatrol and that is good, but it can interfer with the fix by Hijackthis. Please disable it before proceeding any further with this fix.



    Please download CWShredder but don't run it yet.
    http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWSInstall.exe


    Download Ad-aware SE from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

    Install the program and launch it. First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files. Exit Adaware for now.


    Make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

    How to see hidden files in Windows

    Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

    Reboot your computer into Safe Mode


    Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".


    Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist)

    C:\Program Files\IESearchToolbar
    LSAS.exe <- be very careful as there are similarly named legitimate filenames
    winlogin.exe <- be very careful as there are similarly named legitimate filenames
    v418empfwi64ljll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.d ll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll .dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.d ll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll .dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll



    Run a full scan with Adaware.

    Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode.



    Please run these two online scans.
    Make sure they are set to clean automatically:

    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

    http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm

    If there are files that can not be removed by the scans please include that information in your next post.



    Reboot once more and post a new hijackthis log.

    Gee thanks for your help. :thumbsup: I really appreciate your quick
    response. Anyways, i did what you told me to do. Except that i wasn't
    able to delete
    04 - Global startup:winlogin.exe
    and when i tried deleting such file name, the computer was not able to
    find it. Anyways, i proceeded with the online scan. Pandasoft was
    able to clean 114 files but trendmicro found the ff files infected and
    wasn't able to clean it:
    troj_small.ro C:\Recycled\Q678340.exe
    troj_small.aab C:\Windows\system32\xbxvni6wyoy.dll
    troj_small.ro C:\Windows\downloaded program files\Q678340.exe

    Unfortunately, i accidentally deleted these files.

    I did another hjt and this is the result:

    Please disable WinPatrol before making the fix with hijackthis.


    Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

    How to see hidden files in Windows




    Place a checkmark next to these entries, close all browsers and windows, and have HijackThis fix them by clicking Fix Checked:

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [DELDIR0.EXE] "C:\DOCUME~1\PIERRE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\DELDIR0.EXE" "C:\Program Files\McAfee\McAfee Shared Components\Guardian\"
    O4 - Global Startup: winlogin.exe


    Search for and delete this file:

    winlogin.exe


    Delete everything in this directory, but not the folder itself:

    C:\DOCUME~1\PIERRE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp



    Reboot and post a new hijackthis log.
