    After using the malware removal guide and doing the Windows XP cleaning procedure, Ad-aware still detects Win32.trojandownloader.agent. As far as I know this has not been on my computer for more that a week since it did not appear on my last scan. How can I remove this? I have attached the 4 logs

    Where exactly does Ad-aware report it to be....the exact path.

    I'm not sure why, but I did a scan again with Ad-aware so I could get the exact path and it does not come up anymore. I actually ran the scan 3 times and it found nothing. If this means I'm clean, great! I don't know if any of the logs I sent showed anything else bad, but if not I appreciate your time and effort on this matter. I will check any future reply to this to see if they do show anything else.

    No they did not....which is why I was asking for the path. Your logs were clean.

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

    1. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
    2. Click START then RUN
    * Now type "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u in the runbox and click OK.
    * Note: The space between the cf and the /U, it must be there.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    5. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    * Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
