msnavpklog.txt advpack.dll infection

Unknown
edited December 2008 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi. A friend's computer has a nasty infection: 4 GB msnavpklog.txt and it contains what purports to be the loaded or unloaded status of advpack.dll to the tune of several KB every 3 seconds.
Norton Internet Security didn't detect it.
McAfee didn't detect it.
TrendMicro didn't detect it.
Web search indicates only a few threads on it, with different trojan names and behaviors. (haven't ever seen a picture of anything as a result of this infection.) File can be deleted by setting the attribute to read only. Then in seconds the file is back and growing. c:\windows\msnavpklog.txt
Windows XP Home SP 3.
Can anyone help me with this?

    • Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply.

    IMPORTANT: Reboot your computer after the scan.

    Step 3:
