    Hi,
    I would like to request some help and see if everything is clean or if there is more work to do. I am working on this computer for a co worker. He had no antivirus, no firewall, and no anti spyware running. I have read and followed the read and run me first post. I think I have most of it out there were many virus and spyware infections. So far the computer is performing better. I just want to make sure it is good to go when I give the system back.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I could not get counterspy to work properly so I used AVG.
    Here are the avg, bitdefender, and get run logs, I will post shownew and a hijack log in my reply.

    Run HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    After clicking fix, exit HJT
    Now

    1. Download this file - Combofix.exe
    2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log to your next reply

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    Now run this Virtumonde aka Trojan Vundo Removal

    * Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
    * When VundoFix opens, click the Scan for Vundo button.
    * Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
    * You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
    * Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
    * When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
    * Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log in the thread you are working in.

    Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
    In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions above, starting from "Click the
    Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears at reboot.

    Now attach the below logs and tell me how the above steps went.

    1. Combofix log
    2. VundoFix log
    3. new GetRunKey log
    4. new ShowNew log
    5. new HJT

    Your logs look clean. You may uninstall any programs we had you download (including CounterSpy, etc).

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
    * Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
    3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
    4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
    5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
    6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
    8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    * Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    * How to Protect yourself from malware!

    Things seem to be good now. I cleaned up the items that you mentioned and have installed AVG antivirus, Comodo firewall, spyware blaster, spybot search and destroy, and ad aware 2007. Those are what I use on my personal system and never have any problems. I also toggled system restore. Thank you for all your help in fixing my friends PC.
